Technology+is

===Technology is the process by which we modify nature to meet out needs and wants. Take laptops for example, first there were computers but now there're laptops because we wanted a portable computer, so the computer was modified into a laptop. Also, the same with cellphones, they used to be no cell phones or even telephones but we wanted a way to communicate with each other without being next to the person so telephones were invented but then we wanted the telephones to be portable. Then came cellphones, and the cellphones were big so, we wanted and also needed the cellphones to be smaller so hence the cellphone became what it is today.=== ===Technology can impact our lives in many ways because of how much we end up using it and how much it can also change our lives and the way of being. It can impact our lives by how much social contact we come into with each other, because we never used to have facebook or myspace or msn but now we do and we can stay in contact with friends and family like that but it also minimizes the amount of face time we spend with people. I think that would be one of the cons of technology but some of the pros would be the ability to watch the news on tv or look it up on the internet. I think my life would be very different without technology because I would get to spend more social time with my family instead of just over dinner. I would also be a lot more active because we wouldn't have youtube or tv or the computer so I would be out and about enjoying myself outside without the slightest knowledge of internet, tv, the computer and just technology in general.===
