HOW WILL TECHNOLOGY CHANGE OUR LIVES IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS?

HOW TECHNOLOGY WILL CHANGE OUR LIVES
Every single day progress is made on research for newer and better technologies and due to the new gadgets and devices that are being invented, our lives could change in many ways in less than two decades.

The first idea that comes to my mind is the use of robots that help us with the housework and have changed our life completely making it more comfortable.  In fact, we already have those round-shaped small robots that move around the house cleaning the floor.  Moreover, stronger, thinner and carbon made lighter materials such as graphene are being discovered. These new materials can have a lot of applications. For example they can be used to produce better research equipment which could be used to search other materials that could help us treat or even cure some illnesses that are incurable nowadays like cancer.

To sum up, technology will definitely change the way we live in many different ways because the opportunities it offers us are countless.

THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY
If we look back in time, we can see that the human race has developed a new world based on technology. It’s said that we’ll continue developing new technologies that will change and improve the world we live in.

At present, some people may think that we’ve gone far enough regarding technological advances by developing every single thing we use in our day to day life. However, despite all these advances, we can still improve by investigating for example new materials like grapheme and apply it to biomedicine or environmental technology.
However, with all these advances we’ve made we have created environmental problems; in just 50 years we’ve polluted more than ever. Moreover, with the medical advances, the world population has risen to a point that in places like China the government had to pass a child birth control law, which means that we are acting against the natural evolution of our race.

To conclude, we can notice that without technology, we couldn’t live the way we do today. However, it is also true that every single technological advance can have consequences, so it’s important to be aware of the importance of ethics.
