How Technology Is Changing Your Everyday Life; The Pros and Cons

When you think how far technology has come in the last two decades it is almost unfathomable to think of the days of a dial-up connection and a large square monitor. Whereas nowadays technology is almost taken for granted when your Amazon delivery arrives the next day or you are connecting with loved ones around the world. The reality remains that technology plays a huge part in your life every day, typically for the better. Here are some ways that technology is changing your life every day.

Improved speed

There is no doubt about it, technology makes your everyday life quicker. You can access the information you need instantaneously, you can communicate with people at the press of a button, and you can even streamline casting your vote with software such as KNOWiNK. With improved speed comes improved productivity and efficiency, which not only improves your personal life on a day-to-day basis but also improves industries and businesses enhancing their profitability.

The downside of all this speed? Impatience. The younger generations growing up with access to almost anything at the tips of their fingers has meant that the thought of waiting for anything is almost too much to bear. Today’s society is seemingly becoming one of the instant gratifications and for businesses, to succeed in a highly saturated digital world they need to be on top of their client communication.

Virtual Social life

With the unparalleled popularity of social media and messaging services such as What’s App and Facetime, it has never been easier to stay in touch with people. People who could live ten minutes down the road or hundreds of miles across the world. Families and friends have been able to stay virtually connected throughout lockdowns and travel bans. Access to instantaneous communication has been game-changing for businesses and families alike.

However, with every benefit, you can usually find a negative, and virtual socializing is no different. While it has been incredibly beneficial throughout times of imposed isolation there is no substituting for physical contact and interaction and without it, people can still be left with feelings of loneliness and isolation. It can lead to miscommunication, shallow relationships, and even potential danger to your safety.

Shopping

The way you shop has changed forever. Physical stores are in decline and cash payments are a thing of the past. Instead, customers prefer the virtual shelves and to peruse an online store from the comfort of their homes. They can look, order, try on, and return products without even having to go out. Groceries can be ordered online and delivered to your door. When it comes to payment all you need is a Face ID or fingerprint and the transaction can be processed in seconds. It has doubtlessly made shopping easier and more efficient for shoppers and retailers alike.

Of course, the drawback to this? Well retailers who haven’t kept on top of the digital revolution or who are unable to have found themselves going out of business. The decrease in footfall in shops has meant neighboring businesses have also felt the pinch, and nothing quite beats seeing a product in person, for yourself before you buy it.
