Three Technological Advancements Shaping Our Lives

Colleges and university campuses are the hotspots for the spread of new technological advancements and innovative digital gadgets which find fame the moment they are released through the mostly tech-savvy students. This is evidenced in the marketing campaigns of the mobile phones, the most popular device among the youth specially the students. The target market of cell phone advertisements is usually the students who make liberal use of cell phones for educational, communication and entertainment purposes. With the advent of internet, research and writing a university project has become very convenient. Still we may observe that many people find themselves dependent on others to do their essay projects. There is no scarcity of people posting messages on internet forums asking others, “Please write my essay for some cash.”, where they could be using the same forum for getting guidance and ideas. Agreed that some people are faced with genuine situations where they cannot do without external help but there is also no dearth of the number of people who will refer to internet looking for some cheap writing service out of laziness. This is because the arrival of smart technology has not made us smarter, it has just expanded the horizons of thinking for us and it has also brought along with it a whole new set of problems. We have to make responsible use of technology to ensure that you don’t lose on any grounds. Here are three technological gadgets that you can make good use of for the sake of saving time, energy and money, and also to walk around the campus in style. 1. The Smart Phone You cannot do without a smart phone otherwise you risk losing a great in terms of academics and being informed about the latest that is going on around in the world. A latest android or an iPhone is a must-have to perform the day-to-day academic tasks and for keeping yourself updated with the world around you. Not to mention that if you are getting affected by ‘nomophobia’ (a state of fear for having to stay without your phone), you need to change to better alternatives like reading an interesting novel on an e-book reader.  

2. The E-Book Reader An Amazon kindle is your best companion to share your loneliness, which you can use to access loads of digital documents and e-books available in various formats. One might ask aren’t e-book readers old-fashioned now that we have smart phones to replace their need? One answer is that smart phones come with many distractions which are not good when you are reading for comprehension or even for entertainment purposes. 3. The Smart Watch A smart watch is no more a new entry in the market and many popular brands such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, T-Mobile have released their smart watches. A smart watch comes in handy when holding the mobile phone is practically impossible, for example while working out in the gym or during riding your bike. The screen of a smart watch works exactly like that of a smart phone but with somewhat lesser functionalities. However it is far more stylish and techy option to use a smart watch. Technology and its applications can be both beneficial and detrimental for humankind; it is up to us how we turn the tide of technological advancements in our favour.
