How Technology Has Made an Impact in Making Our Lives Better

A Better Life

Technology has changed how we live and interact with others. It has impacted almost all areas of our lives, including health care, education, entertainment, fashion, sex, and so much more. The impact is evident everywhere. The good thing is that future technology will make our lives even better. 

It is hard to imagine how life was without technology. You would take weeks or even months traveling across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. If you wrote a letter to a friend today, you had to wait for weeks before you got the reply. I wouldn’t want to imagine how doctors treated their patients with primitive technology, including extracting a painful tooth without anesthesia.

Things are different today. You can have your breakfast in Le Bristol, Paris, have your lunch in The Dorchester, London, and spend your evening somewhere in the Caribbean. You don’t have to walk into the supermarket to buy groceries, you simply order them through your phone, and they will be delivered in seconds. New technology has made it possible for people to do what they never imagined before. While there are downsides to technology, its benefits are immense. With the evolving world, future technology will make the world even a better place. 

Here are some of the areas of our lives that technology has impacted.

1. Technology has improved communication

The growth of worldwide technology has made communication more effective, convenient, and fast. In the past, people relied on writing letters or having messengers deliver the information in person. It would take days, or even weeks, to send a message and receive feedback. The wired telephone was only limited to a few privileged people in the society. But, technology has changed how people communicate and brought with it efficient ways of communication.

Today, you are just a click away from delivering a message. You can communicate with your friends and family in several ways. With a smartphone, you can do much more than just calling your relations. You can text them, send a chat message, or video calls in real-time and talk to them as if they were next to you. Social media has made it easy for people to keep in touch and reach out to many people just by one post. You can also email people through your smartphone, tablet, PC, and more. Even you can connect with their friends, family, and colleagues through platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Skype.

2. Technology has contributed to improved Health Care

New tech has played a big role in improving the quality of and access to health care. Before the introduction of technology, doctors misdiagnosed patients and administered wrong treatment. Treatment was a painful affair (literally). Patients dreaded going to the hospital and opted for other means of medication.

Technology has delivered real positives in the health industry. According to the WHO, maternal mortality reduced by 45%, thanks to new tech. Now, doctors can diagnose patients and provide the right treatment. Actually, doctors can scan through your body and organs using specialized medical equipment. Expectant mothers can know the sex of their babies long before they give birth. So many diseases can be managed and treated today because of technology.

With the invention of health information technology such as medical apps, doctors can monitor their patients and prescribe treatment, even when these patients are miles away. There are controlled alert devices that adults or seniors staying at home can call for emergency help. Pharmacies have also come up with apps where you can order for your drugs and deliver them at your doorstep.

3. Our sex life is much better

The advancement of technology has allowed people to connect, date, and hookup, even if they are miles apart. People can still engage in sex and experience orgasm in other forms other than penetration. Sites like have made sex toys more accessible than before. They offer sex toys that you can use to stimulate yourself. You can also visit some mainstream sites for sex toys reviews.

Technology has also breathed life into the porn industries. It has made it easier and cheaper for people to create. Today, there are tens of porn sites with millions of videos and sex stories. Technology has also made sex readily available. Dating companies like Tinder, OkCupid, and Match have millions of users. These companies allow you to hook up with someone for long term romance and give you an option for immediate sex.

4. We are safer

Technology has improved our safety both at home and in workplaces. The smart home technology, such as security systems at your home and office can protect you from intruders. You can fix alarms and connect to a security firm so that when the alarm goes off, the security personnel can respond and save you or your property. Technology has also made it possible for you to monitor your whole business premise. You can install security cameras or CCTVs around and in your home and monitor what happens when you are away. The good thing is that you can connect to an app on your phone and view live footage. You can also control access to a place or room by installing trap doors that people can only open with their fingerprints or by swiping their access cards.

5. Increased entertainment options

Before technology, you had limited sources of entertainment. You had to endure long and sometimes boring live plays in a crowded cinema theater. Alternatively, you could play your favorite music on a radio cassette and keep forwarding it to the next playlist. But things have changed. Technology has opened up the entertainment world. There are several entertainment options that you don’t have to go to the theater to be entertained. In fact, most cinema theaters are closing down. You can watch movies online on the internet. You can also listen to any music that you want, play video games, and watch your favorite football team play at the comfort of your phone or PC. With the advent of 5G technology, you will be able to download or stream any content much faster and take your entertainment to the next level.


Technology has improved our lives and made possible things that were never imagined. The world has become a small global village, and the connection is now a matter of seconds. Technology also has changed or improved education. Teachers can use technology in the classroom to enhance their teaching and reach other students who are miles away. Other areas where technology has improved are payment options, transportation, advertisement, and others. It has also exposed us to cybercriminals who steal our data and use them for personal gain.
