Effects of Technology

Advancement in technology has affected many people in many ways.   New
technology has altered peoples' consciousness, language, and the way society
views the world.  Technological advancements have made the world smaller, and
have made things easier.  Computers have been the inventions that have
advanced so much since they were developed and have had such a big impact on
humanity.  Computers were originally developed to use for doing calculations
and have come to the point that people cannot function normally without them.
    "Humans were once considered to be superior to all other creatures of the
Earth.  The reason for human supremacy was the ability to think, process
data, store information, and perform calculations"(Silver, 5).  Until the

invention of minicomputers, microprocessors, and desktop computers.  By the
1990s, a personal computer had grown to become a necessity in almost every
home and business.  In less than three decades, the computer has become
indispensable to business, industry, government, in school, and home.
Computer literacy is now considered as vital as learning to read and is to be
taught to everyone.
    The influence of computer technology is evident in many aspects of
society.  Whether it is to help space exploration or processing checks or
producing mailing labels, computers are used.  Applications of computers in
