A) How technology shapes the way people live and work.
B) I chose this topic because I think technology has really affected our lives and work nowadays. Technology has helped us to connect with people in an easier and available way. It has also changed the way companies communicate and collaborate with each other. Technology made it possible to continue our normal life during the COVID-19 lockdown with so many possibilities. It also affected the Economy tremendously by increasing sales and causing economic growth. Additionally, it has decreased poverty by creating your jobs and allowing people in need to reach a larger platform. It gave us new ways to develop our education systems to create better and more advanced minds. Technologies in the workplace help ensure that information is available only to the right people and virtually eliminate the leak of relevant information about the company. It can also be used to guard valuable objects and people. Technology affects every part of society, the kingdom or empire, and is based on accessible mathematics and the science of society, affecting every aspect of civilization.
C) I think readers would be interested in this topic since technology has changed many lives and improved our world for the better. Nowadays, new technologies have changed the world and our daily lives. The latest gadgets and tools provide us with useful information which makes our lives easy. New technologies have achieved high levels, and without them, we cannot imagine our next steps. Modern technology has covered the way for multifunctional devices such as smartwatches and smartphones, improved computers, and created new kinds of laptops, which are becoming faster, more portable, and more powerful than ever. With all these revolutions, technology has also made our lives easier, faster, better, and fun. One of the newest examples was remodeling our face-to-face classes online, then taking a few minutes, and we smoothly started to connect to the Zoom program and continued our studying. In a few years, drones may be the norm for everyone, and robots will be common in factories. Future technology is sure to change our lives in incredible ways, but here we are looking at the many common ways in which technology is changing our lives today.

INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
The adoption of technology in society has turned a common phenomenon in the 21st century. The
aptitude of the current technology has been a practical turn towards shaping the lives of many
people in both social, education, legal, and career perspectives. Thus, technology has aided in
closing many gaps within the functionality of the society, and has by far, succeeded in reducing
the degree of human efforts asserted in daily activities. The expanse of the form of utilities
provided by technology has covered nearly all elements of life, and mostly, on social, education,
and career standpoints.
Therefore, understanding how the various elements of technology play in the lives of
people in contemporary society is a critical element that aids in raising the societal awareness of
the multiple benefits arising from the use of technology. In such regards, this paper attempts to
analyze how the various forms of technology have impacted the fashion of living and working in
contemporary society.
Globalization and Business Communication
Technology has led to the development of globalization in the world. Through social media,
among other forms of communication, technology has managed to bridge the gap in the social
Surname 2
connection between members of the same society or different societies. Importantly, it is a
crucial element that the full utility of technology in regards to time and other efficiencies has
participated in linking an individual to another in a far geographical region with maximum
effectiveness of cost, time and effort. Such aids in the communication of ideas and social
interactions between people in low geographical proximities (Valentine, 369).
From the perspectives of business communication, technology has allowed organizations
to communicate with ease, efficiently, easily, fast, and effectively with utilities manifesting in
areas such as team cohesion and the departmental collaboration between various department
levels. Using technology, every department can communicate with ease using platforms such as
internal memos, emails, social media, et cetera., that employ the use of technology in a business
organizational setting. Such ease has proven to enhance the performances of every department by
ensuring there is an adequate flow of information between the various players of an organization.
Economic Growth
The benefit of technology on society can also be seen from the advancement of the economy.
The technology employed in business and public areas has aided in the development of business
organizations and the general sphere of life through HRM and strategic moves such as the
employment of corporate social responsibilities of an organization to the society. Technology has
by far proven to connect people in matters regarding the sharing of ideas. Therefore, the utility of
technology in a modern business community provides the very structure of business operations
and how this connects to the various functionalities of the society. For instance, through
information technology, business organizations have been in a position to increase their sales and
profitability since this technology allows these organizations to integrate with the market
efficiently, understanding the factors that influence them, and how to mitigate them. The

employment of technology in an organization’s management structure, therefore, allows
businesses to excel, which in turn contribute to the development of the county’s economy.
While such this benefit extends to promote the economy of a region, increase in an
organization’s use of technology and the resultant profitability has aided in the elevation of
engineering careers in the society. Many business organizations, including factories, production
plants, and farms, among other complex businesses, use compound and sophisticated
technological machinery. In contrast, simple ones such as restaurants, cinemas, and other small
shops use technology in various areas of business management systems and information
communication. Altogether, both of these elements of technology aids in creating employment
opportunities to the qualified public, enhancing the quality of their lives, as well as contributing
to the annual gross domestic product of a country (Berger, 151).
Education Development
Technology has also been employed in shaping the form of education provided in institutional
centers. Given the current population status of many organizations, technology has been
incorporated to ensure that a specific education institution has the aptitude to hold as many
students as possible. Such fills this gap as identified by (Bell and Federman, 168), where
technology has provided various learning institution with the allowance of some students
studying away from school through e-learning, allowing students the ability to work while
studying.
According to (Bell and Federman, 168), educational technology such as web-based
learning has enabled more people to expand their academic abilities due to its flexibility to
integrate user education to other societal elements in their schedules. Since this technology
allows one to function from their homes, it thus provides a pl...
