Co-Dependence On Technology In America

It is not possible to separate human life and technology. Nowadays people have developed a cyclical of co-dependence on technology. The demand for technology is on a rising trend because people depend on technology on a daily basis. People use technology to communicate, to travel, to live in comfort, to do business and to learn (WhiteHouse 2). However, the use of technology has its own challenges. It has resulted in environmental pollution due to poor application. Furthermore, the life of people is at risk because of the impact of environmental pollution. Therefore, there is the need to use technology appropriately in a manner that will not interfere with the environment. However, technology has really helped the American society. For instance,

This is because of incorporation of technology into the transportation system. The new transportation system has benefited both the society and businesses. Transportation has enhanced mobility for goods and people. Technology and transportation operate as a single unit and cannot be separated. It consists of a series of parts which are interrelated. These parts usually work together to achieve a specific goal. Transportation uses airplanes, motorbikes, vehicles, trains, people, information, energy, finance, materials, and time. All these parts operate together to relocate and move people and goods from one place to another. Technology has really played a bigger role in advancing the transportation systems which include road transport that automobiles use, water transportation that ships and speed boats use, air transportation that airplanes use, and space transportation that people use to go to the moon (AOTM 1). Road transportation is the common means of transport used to relocate people and goods. Technologies such as automobiles, trucks and buses have improved the efficiency of movement of people and goods from place to place. Technology has played a bigger role in expanding the road transportation system in America. This has been caused by the increased demand for automobiles which has forced the government to construct more roads (AOTM

Technology is the key to improved education and learning process. The economy of America is defined by education. People require educational infrastructures that are well organized and in good condition so that they can efficiently learn how information is interpreted. Many schools in America have integrated technology into their education system with the main goal of improving learning process that students use (Shelton 2). Technologies such as computers, smart whiteboards, iPad, the internet, projectors, phone, and mobile are being used in the education sector in America to encourage students to learn. The use of visual education in America is growing at a faster rate and has proven to be the best method of handling a variety of subjects such as physics, mathematics, biology, economics, geography and much more. Money has also been invested in the education system by the business community for the sake of teachers and their students. For instance, learning has been made mobile by iTunes software. ITunes is an educational software that has many applications that allow teachers and students to exchange academic materials and information at any time. Long distance learning is another program that has opened doors for many scholars including those in other countries to participate in American education system while in their native countries (Shelton
