Introduction

   The articles within this blog will focus on personal views of how society and technology, more specifically computer related technology, relate. To get a better meaning of this I shall expand. In the world we live in today there are more and more pieces of technology that surface every day. These technologies inevitably have an impact on how we live our lives. This technology I refer to could be anything from a new piece of software to a revolutionary new item that we cannot, as of yet, even begin fathom.


    The effects these leaps have on society could vary, both having good repercussions and bad. We saw the creation of Facebook completely change how people communicate on a daily basis. A more visible contrast of effects is how the invention of computers themselves impacted society through various means. Computers have aided in the advancement of almost every field. For instance medicine would not be where it is today without the use of computers to view scans of differing kinds. However, one of the earliest computers (ENIAC) aided in the creation of the nuclear bomb. [1]

    To summarize, in this blog I aim to illustrate the effects new and recent technologies have had on society. The technologies will have some computer related functionality and the effects I discuss will either highlight the technologies’ benefit or their harm. Finally, these effects may be discussed in various ways, from an informative description of a topic itself to a real world event.
