This gadget can be linked to nature as well because it records the daily weather and many different things around you such as map routes you use daily. The Gear falls under hardware technology as the parts were made from machines and also hand crafted. Technology as tools or machines is concrete and easily understandable (Dusek 2006:31). The Samsung Gear can be seen as a machine and a tool because it is more independent and doesn’t need a lot of skills from the user. This gadget is a tool because it is something that you wear and carry around. Humans today are seen as technological beings because we are so dependent on technology to survive.

    The advancement of technology that our society has been privileged with, is starting to take over human’s emotions and replace them with those of a robot. When it comes to the discussion of technology, I have mixed feelings because, in my opinion, we do have a great tool in the palm of our hands. However, I also think human emotions and actions are starting to become robot-like. We need to be able to process emotions so that we can better our understanding of not only each other but also ourselves. I strongly think society needs to evict the virtual world and come back to the real world although it is safe to say I personally have a love-hate relationship with technology.

  • Technology: Technological Development, And The Evolution Of Technology

    721 Words  | 3 Pages

    Technology can be defined as “the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment”. (n.d.)
