DISCUSSION

Communication has been made easy in the current world because of the presence of modern devices of technology. The systems of communication have changed nowadays in a dramatic manner in the last two to three decades in that people can stay connected with their friends and relatives who live far away either on the same continent or in different continents (Huseynzade, 1). The use of the phone doesn’t need someone to move from one place to another so as to deliver information (Huseynzade, 1). You can make a call and communicate without wasting resources such as time.

Modern day gadgets like alarm watches can help the people in remembering what they could have planned to do, making it easier for them not to overload their brains with things they are supposed to remember. For instance, the elderly patients have a big problem when it comes to remembering the timely taking of their prescribed drugs (West, 5). It is revealed that only half of the patients are known to take their medications as prescribed while the same proportion fails to adhere (West, 5). One of the reasons as to why they fail to adhere to the prescriptions is due to forgetfulness. Alarm watches have made it easier since the same patients can set the time at which they are supposed to take the drugs. Currently, there are phones, which have alarm systems and watches, which can also be used. Therefore, it is easier for such patients to adhere to their doctors’ prescriptions.

On the same line, home life has been made easier by having some home devices, which can make work easier and efficient. The house work that used to take many hours in the previous century can be done in few hours courtesy to the help of technological home devices such as the washing machines, vacuum cleaners, microwaves and coffee makers among many others (Huseynzade, 1). The washing of clothes that used to involve a lot of physical work can now be washed in minutes just by the pressing of a button. Such a technological move can take only a few minutes before the clothes are very clean and an individual can be doing other things as the clothes are being washed by the automatic machines. Such machines make lives in the home very easy.

Learning in schools has also been made easy in that students can use electronic gadgets to facilitate the learning process and ease of acquisition of information. Laptops enhance the ease and speed of engagement and taking notes with online sources of information that is related to material of the course (Fried, 2). When the internet is used if students have the laptop, it becomes easier for the tutor to send class assignments to the class and at the same time, students can easily access information from their tutor. In addition, the internet is rich in books, articles, journals and other sources of information from various databases, which makes learning become easier than when it used to be in the old days before computers were born. Many researchers have found that laptop use in classes elevates the students’ motivation and ability to apply appropriate knowledge, which makes learning simple with greater achievements (Fried, 2). Such gadgets have made the lives and learning of students not only easier, but also fulfilling.

People are also enjoying the benefits of technology in the transport industry as there are more advances, which are making life easier. There are many cars that can speed up to 400km/h and aeroplanes that can circumnavigate the earth just in 24 hours (Huseynzade, 1). These super speeding machines have made the movement of people and goods easy, which has impacted the transport sector positively. More so, technological machines in the transport sector have improved

CONCLUSION

Modern technological devices make the lives and work of the human race easier. It is obvious that the use of devices can save some time and effort used in doing the work that could otherwise be wasted during the performance of an activity without such devices. In the communications industry, things are now simple as people can communicate with ease despite geographical barriers that may exist between two communication parties. The presence of watches, some with alarms are instrumental in the helping of patients take their drugs as prescribed. On the same line, the people who work in the homes have an easier moment in implanting their duties and responsibilities because the home devices help them do the work, to a great deal. Students also benefit a lot since electronic devices such as computers make their learning process simple, just like for their teachers who have an easier moment of teaching. More so, the transport sector enjoys the presence of technological machines, which help people move easily from one place to another. Therefore, modern day technological devices make our lives very simple.
