Objectives
• It describes the impact of technology on
the field of education
• It describes the impact of technology on
the medicine and science.
• It describes the impact of technology on
pay and work

Technological Changes
• School
• Home
• Workplace

Education
1. Factors that affect the education
include internet, various online
tests, distance learning, computer
based learning and simulations
(Chauhan, 2017).
2. Help in renovating the classrooms,
libraries and web quests.
The factors that affect education are

Distance Learning
– Distance learning can be defined as a way to utilize technology
as a medium for learning and schooling.
– Distance learning helps the students to stay in touch with the
institute as well as the professors irrespective of their
geographical location (Haustein, Bowman & Holmberg, 2016).
– The department of education supports the distance learning to
numerous students.

Computer Based Learning
• Computer based learning is also known as computer
assisted instruction.
• A special computer program is utilized in order to help
the users to reinforce a complex concept (Crowley &
Heyer, 2015).
• Various advantages of computer based learning
include providing opportunity for mastering the idea
with the help of reviewing as many times as required
(Amirshokoohi, 2016).

Technological innovations and
scientific discovery
• Various technological innovation that affect the society include
artificial intelligence
• helps in processing information by itself without any intervention
of humans (Damant & Knapp, 2015).
• Some examples of the aspects where virtual reality is used
include playing games, natural language, expert systems and
robotics (Bhagat, Chang & Chang, 2016).
• Most of the advances have been made in the field of gaming.

Scientific Discovery
• Genetic engineering, this refers to the DNA in a particular
organism
• The benefits of genetic engineering includes providing
resistance to various diseases, enabling a particular plan
or animal for doing something which it is not supposed to
do, enable a fruit to ripe without providing squashy
(Sobel, Gilmartin & Sankar, 2016).

Scientific Discovery
• Scientific discovery in technology that has helped
the society is virtual reality
• People get a feeling of an actual environment
with the use of all the five senses (Brotchie, Hall,
& Newton, 2017).
• The user is usually immersed with the help of
some head mounted device such as a helmet.
• This technology is used in education, medicine,
research, training and many more areas.

Play and Work

Global Economy
• The areas affected include banking,
commerce and finance.
• This affects the way data as well as money
is transmitted (Crowley & Heyer, 2015).
• Online business can be set up with the use
of electronic commerce, users can buy, sell
products as well as services.

E-Commerce
• Ecommerce is one of the biggest contributions of
technology to the society.
• Inspite of various advantages, e-commerce has some
disadvantages as well, these disadvantages include
spam or junk mails that are sent to the email addresses.
• Some advantages include webmasters, programmers,
graphics designers, network managers and web
developers.

Personal Lives
• The technological advances that have affected
the personal lives of people include some clothes
that have the ability to fight bacteria and odor.
• SkyCar has the ability to operate in a minimum
restrictive area as compared to a helicopter, it is
also less expensive (Crowley & Heyer, 2015).
• Voice recognition has allowed people to talk to
computers or similar devices and receive their
response.

Personal Lives
• Various technological advances that
contribute in technological advancement
include space travel; this includes various
companies that develop a particular fleet of
space commercial vehicles for providing
public space travel.
• Smart shoes and seats, this is a
technology named expansive polymer el
which uses a micro voltage in order to
expand and contract the gel to distribute
weight and heat in an event manner.

Summary
• Numerous people predicted that technology would
change the entire structure of the education.
• Technology would have a tremendous impact on the
education.
• The World Wide Web and internet are the biggest factors
that affect the education industry (Crowley & Heyer,
2015).
• Various online courses through the internet have become
popular; numerous schools utilize computer based
learning for reinforcing concepts.

Summary
• Information has contributes to increase faster than
people can process it.
• People predict a particular anti technology backlash.
• Artificial intelligence is software that has the ability
to process data on its own without the intervention
of people.
• Generic engineering refers to the changing the DNA
in a particular living organism.

Conclusion
• In the 21st century numerous people would work from
homes.
• Various technology advancements are clothes that have
the ability to fight odors, flying cars, nonlethal weapons,
voice recognition, space travel, smart seats, electronic
shopping, smart houses and many more.
