Let’s start with the meaning of technology. What does technology mean? Well, it is the outcome of knowledge, skills, methods, and processes accumulated together. It is the usage of knowledge for tools, techniques, and systems. If we go deep into the types included in technology, we can say that the Internet, Artificial Intelligence, Audio, Video technology, circuitry, and a lot more come under this category of “Technology”.

If we consider technology in the year 2000, we can say that there were not many people who used cell phones, laptops, tablets, and all other kinds of computers. But, the same if we see today, every single person uses a computer for their daily use. It can be for music, dance, entertainment, art, education, and more. Talking about the internet, there are more than 4 billion users currently online. We can refer to Google and YouTube for suggestions to take. Google is the biggest search engine and YouTube is the second biggest search engine. We can search the web on YouTube for art tutorials, gaming, movies, songs, series, dramas, and more educational videos.

Let’s now speak about the jobs! In the earlier times, there were very less job opportunities, as compared to these days. Earlier, people had ‘options’ to choose from, which were mostly given by parents or experienced people. But now, there are various job opportunities for Men and Women. Anciently, physical jobs were more; people worked hard to earn their daily bread. And now, it is the total opposite! Men and Women can work even in the comfort of their homes. Jobs today, are more computer-based and people not only have options to become Doctors or Lawyers but to become whatever they want. The population is more interested in learning things like coding and becoming people like software engineers.

Apart from the Internet, technology in transportation has played a great role in the advancement and change of our lives. In the olden days, animals were used in the place of vehicles, which was never a problem until smoke vehicles came into existence. But, with the coming of vehicles, many advantages could be observed too. It was less time-consuming, cost-effective, and effortless. Discussing the digital era, it has simplified life in every form. It keeps people connected by communication, stores data, allows end-to-end encryption, and enhances data security. Technological advancements have made life more convenient. Life has become more enjoyable than before. Technology can be seen in many things like aviation, healthcare, beauty, transportation, entertainment, tours, and travels, and the list goes ahead.
