The impact of digital technology into our society

Digital technology has been with us for years. As we immerse ourselves from digital technology, the world around is becoming more advanced than the usual. Information can be accessed at the tip of our fingers. Human development has become rapid. Communication is much more efficient and time-friendly. Digital technology has contributed to us a lot. There are many things that has become easier to us but some things has become harder to resolve such as our addiction to technology. We have become so addicted to technology that we seem to ignore of what is in our environment. As we become so focused on our gadgets such as our mobile phone, we are susceptible to such danger if we ignore our environment. Such dangers we might put ourselves into are getting hit by a car, falling into a sewage tunnel, walking towards dangerous places, and etc. In other words, ignorance starts to happen when we lock ourselves into our phones because we want to be updated of whatever is happening in the media.

Having digital technology on our world has advantages although there are some disadvantages that we can enumerate yet these disadvantages can be resolved by self-control and discipline. Digital technology is still important in our world for it is part of growing in our world. The impact that it has made is wonderful. Digital technology has taught us innovate using technology. The old-fashioned ways of innovation still exist yet digital technology has enhanced innovation more than the preceding age “Industrial Revolution”. Media has evolved from a rock to a machine to a digital screen.

One example of how digital technology has made an impact is in the marketplace. Back then, buying and selling happens only in  a physical market. Consumer goods are present physically so as the place and transaction between the buyer and the seller. Now, buying and selling happens in our digital screens. The products can be seen through our digital screens. The marketplace is through an app or a website. Since it is only available through our screen, it’s downside is the legitimacy of the product whether it is real or not. The transaction between the seller and buyer can also be a risk.  The buyer can fool the seller by sending the fake product that is not matched upon the pictures nor details or by not sending the product at all after sending the money. The seller can fool the buyer by not sending the money after receiving the product. The money that we use in this digital marketplace is accessible through our gadgets just by storing it in an ATM  and using our digital devices such as smartphones to access it.

In conclusion, having digital technology is just as important as it is for the society we grew up with. There may be some risks and dangers however we can resolve it just by learning a few precaution/measures to follow. Digital technology has made a grave impact into our society. And that impact is far better.
