The Types of Technology

The pros and cons of technology

Pros

1.Improves efficiency for Business

The best advantage of any technology is that it increases the efficiency of a business process. We can perform more tasks in less time. From shared drives to emails, communication, coordination, execution and implementation of a lot of business processes has become swift and hassle-free, all thanks to technology.

2.Saves time

it saves time as we are able to complete a task in lesser time, we can utilize the time saved for other important activities. With the help of technology activities such as cooking, cleaning, working, commuting can be done  faster.

3.Better communication

In earlier times, communicating with a person belonging to a different part of the world was difficult. Think about it! Think back to the time when people had to communicate using pigeons or letters, something that took days or weeks! However today the world has come closer and one can easily connect with a person sitting in another corner of the world, all due to technology.

4.Reduces cybercrime risks

The biggest benefit of technology is to the cyber world. AI (Artificial intelligence) algorithms are qualified to detect a change in patterns that are unique from the normal pattern. Implementing AI to detect cyber-attack is still at an early stage, but with advancement in technology, one can expect to prevent it. Hence the chances of getting a cyber-attack are reduced.  

Cons

There are also some disadvantages of technological advancements:  

1.Extreme dependability

With each passing day, we are becoming more and more dependent on technology for almost every task without even realizing it. A common example of this is using a cab service. Another example is using GPS to know the directions of any desired location.

2.Expensive

Although technology is already a part of many people’s lives, there are still some people out there who cannot afford some technologies. Many technologies that are being used by the organizations are expensive.

3.Shortage of jobs

With technology, the efficiency of a task has increased tenfold and this is the reason why the technology might be able to replace humans soon. An increase in technology is going to ensure that tasks that humans could do earlier can now be achieved by machines and technology. Thus, creating a shortage of jobs.

4.Malfunctions

The biggest disadvantage of technology is that all are machine driven. And a minor lapse in the functioning can create a situation that cannot be controlled. So, a minor malfunction may cause a complete failure which can cost a human life as well.
