As the world changed digitally, most of the analogue methods of running businesses such in production industries has been substituted by new technology. The gradual erasure of the Old routine in production processes placed a tremendous success in replacement.

Hence high records of success in businesses.

• Employment opportunities

Since the evention of new machines, computers and other working robots, personnels has been employed to operate them. For instance, tractor operators for farming, grinding machine operators, computer operators in typewriting, and so much more technological products that needed human manager for its operations hence creating jobs for the unemployed citizens.

• Easier income generation

Due to employment opportunities new technology has already put in place, people easily generate income or make money through the means such as printing recharge cards, POS operations, internet service, blogging, online marketing, mass communication and multiple more.

People can now seat in their comfort zones and start making money without much stress through creative writing, and many online businesses in the high demands which people consume and pay in return. Therefore, income is easier to generate with the world of technology.

Machines employed in the production industries, and other performing robots advance high productivities hence easier and quicker generation of income to the industry.

• Quick information dissemination

Events and happenings around the world are evenly distributed and at the time and place of the incidence. People, with the help of information technology, are put in the know the happenings around the world irrespective of the distance.

Negative Impact of Technology

---

As long as the benefits of technology can not be over stated, there are Prices to pay which is the bad sides of technology.

• Health hazards

Starting with the technological approach to agriculture in preservation of farm produce, most preservatives are dangerous to human health. Whilst the intension was to keep such produce from spoiling for future use but the chemical make up mixed with the food to be preserved doesn't die even after cooking therefore pose health hazards to the consumers.

This days, especially young ones deprives themselves sleeping due to long time internet browsing and too the constant exposure of their eyes to the light of computer all these practices are hazardous to the well being of the persons involved.

• Reduction in mechanical man power.

This means total lost of the normal and natural means of doing things for instance, people hardly treak little distance without looking out for mobility.

School children no longer use their brains and do even the most simplest Mathematical calculation without pressing their calculators.

• Failure of technology could make life worthless.

To narrow it down, if there should be no supply of power say a year it might course deaths to some users or make life boring because The use of it has become part and parcel of human life.

More so, if internet should be switched off just one week, it will be very much unbearable and it shall be worst than working in darkness.

• Privacy violation

Any mistakenly activities of people's private life disclosed or leaked is bound to be exposed to the general public. Meanwhile people no longer owe their privacy and secrets due to information technology.

• Technological theft

The advancement in technology is coupled with negative applications as seen in an internet fraudsters were victims are been duped of their money in the daily basis.

In as much as publice look forward to getting information, most of it could be wrong and misleading where people fall victim of been defrauded or duped.

• cultural imperialism

People's culture are slipping out of control due to global influences. Some people's culture and language are gradually dying due to the social education that some language are more powerful than the other. And that some culture are devilish.

Generally, people's customs and traditions have been sold off in exchange of other practice believed the best replacement.

These are few, under the expression, merit and demerits of technology. Thanks for reading.
