MAIN BODY
(Source: At Their Computers. 2022)
In the current competitive world, the use of technology is very important and this is
crucial for the development of person. In case the person is not well versed with technology then
they might be outdated and might be possible that there is not any capability within that person.
In the given image there are different people undertaking the use of laptop and other gadgets like
headphones and other tools. In case people will not be having proper knowledge of using these
technologies then this will be affecting the working efficiency and competitive capability (Chan
and Sage, 2021). This is pertaining to the fact that when the person is not having knowledge
relating to current trends then other people will go ahead of them and they will lack in corporate
and academic world.
Further the emotion being presented in current image is pride or it can also be happiness.
This is because of the reason that person is proud that they are having the knowledge relating to
all latest techniques and this can provide them with the competitive advantage. Also when the
person is having good knowledge of all latest technology and related things then this also makes
the person feel happy. This is good for their development because when person is happy and
blissful then this will result in better development and growth of person. Further with this image

I believe that this image can also develop the emotion of anger or sorrow among the people who
are not well versed with the technology (Ferdiansyah, 2018). This is particularly because of the
reason that there are many people who cannot access use of latest technology and this can make
them feel bad and might result in anger. Hence, this image can also result in the emotion of anger
or sorrow and can dishearten a person as they are not having facility of using the new
technology.
Technology and education
Along with this, it can also be seen that use of the technology especially computers are
also useful in the case of education as well. This is pertaining to the fact that in the current
working environment the use of technology is very assistive for imparting better education as
well. Moreover, the current pandemic has resulted in effective promotion of the use of
technology in the education sector. This is because of the reason that due to current pandemic
there was economic shutdown and as a result of this schools were also shut. Hence, resultantly
the schools operated on online basis only. Thus, with this it can be implied that use of technology
was very assistive in improving and imparting proper knowledge and education to the children
even when the schools were shut.
Technology and corporate environment
Furthermore, I believe that use of technology is very assistive in education sector but it is
also necessary in corporate environment as well. The reason behind this fact is that there are
many different technologies being developing in the corporate environment as well. Hence, the
use of these technologies result in development of business opportunities and this is beneficial
for the corporates to grow and develop.
Further the orientation of the image is good as it provides message that use of current
technology is much beneficial for any person. This is pertaining to the fact that current image
outlines use of latest technology and this is important for development of person. Further I
believe that the use of technology is important in order to secure a competitive advantage. In
case the person is not having proper knowledge relating to techniques and latest equipment then
this will not assist them in personal growth and development. Further with the analysis of image
I believe that there is not any complication within the image as it simply provides message that
use of technology is important for development of person (Zuana, 2018). Along with this the

resolution of the image is positive as it creates a good impact over thinking of person. Sometimes
the excessive use of technology can create a negative impact over the health of the person.
Further I believe that the performance standards are also being followed and depicted by
image as well. This is pertaining to the fact that in case of current image science fiction is being
followed. The reason underlying this fact is that this is a type of genre which deals with some
imaginative concept relating to technology. Though this concept is not new but then also there
are some of the areas of world wherein technology is not being used. Also there are some areas
where there is requirement of development of technology. Hence, this image will assist in
developing use of technology among people.
