Technology as gone far beyond imagination. It serve as one of the tools for civilization and eye opening for vicinity. Technology as been in all varieties of life. When looking far back in the olden days, people then think they are enjoying a better life, yes sure they are; just because they haven't reason their imagination.
I respect and give kudos to all Asian countries and also America, these people reasons, practice, develop, simulate and made alot of things that makes the world day to day activities and life becomes more easier.
Areas of our generation technology and great oldens days technology
Communication: to communicate with each other far back is easy to them then because they didn't find it difficult. Although some are still exist in some rural areas in the world. Where is the place of telephone, smartphone, sound system, cctv, mail etc. All theses are taking by town crying, sending sign or writing with stone on the walls etc then. Bravo to all inventors, programmers, engineers and a lot of people who contributed to the betterment of the world.
And most enjoyable part in todays world is InternetTransportation: this is an important aspect to take of today. Far back our fore fathers travel by horse, camel; should i call it animal transportation. Then there came bicycle seeing it as also the tools for transportation; imagine how they carry their loads when moving from one place to another. But in the modern world today, there are train (smart train), cars (smart cars ), jets, airplane etc. If not technology how would fly from one country to the other. Make a yourself a catalyst and make a change and impact to your environment.
Health: this is also a crucial aspect in our endeavor. Did you what has happened in the past, where the old cargo people do not the actually know the ailment of a patient but given and prescribing another drug called concortion in their own time. No hospital in their own time, talkless of hospital apparatus. Here today we have various hospital in every part of the world with doctors in different field to treat people. And give advice on our daily health. As far back as 1300, people then don't know what is called genotype, it may be funny but that is the reality. Generation of modern days are lucky to more about themselves. Knowing yourself makes life easier to live.
All these highlighted about cannot be successful implemented if there is no an accumulated knowledge to reason, think beyond imagination; this can be done through Education.
- Education: let me say education refers to an accumulated knowledge through training or learning. This really helps the world till today, it helps people to know those with intellectual standard. It may be acquired by formal or informal
In Nigeria about 53% are not involved in technology, don't use internet, don' t get along with what is going in this modern era. This can term as Digital Divide. Digital divide is the gap between those have access to technology and and that are not.
Although people are hearing and using internet, phones, and computer which has changed ways people work, do business, problem solving, research, ways of communication, and the variety of choices people have to find entertainment. It's hard to image how the world would be if computer and internet didn't exist.
Based on research it has come to the extent that people that are using phones in Nigeria are the same as the number of population and yet not half of the citizens are not using digital device, phones etc. But looking at it critically no of sim cards out there corresponds with the population, which should not be so. What caused this is that a citizen may be using about 4 sim card, and if that is the case then it should properly monitored. The major problem of Nigeria IT is record, that is no database. This is also one of major challenges. There should be records and data or information of all citizens in government care. Technology in today's world plays a big role in many people's lives in the information age we now live. It makes lives easier and more convenient, these technological inventions are created or invented to better people's lives.
The world moved from an information age to another in decades or centuries; such as stone age, iron age, middle age, industrial age and computer age which is the electronic age. I can also say we have an information age called internet age, image if not for internet, how would the world be. Moreover it also stands as place of entertainment for the world.
Be a catalyst to your society.
