Imagine you are asked to make a presentation to your coworkers about technology and how technology influences society. How would you describe technology and its relationship to society using examples?
For example, recent changes in communication have allowed people to be more connected from a distance but less connected to their neighbors. The CoVid pandemic has enhanced both the positives and the negatives associated with these changes. One effect of the changes in communication is the ability to work remotely. This has had positive and negative impacts on society. One example of a positive impact is (here, provide an example using an external source). One example of a negative impact is (here, provide an example using an external source).
For this assignment, you are asked to create a presentation of the impacts of technology on society. You can create your presentation using your choice of presentation media. For example, you could choose to create a PowerPoint presentation with or without audio, a video, or other media such as a Prezi presentation. If you create your presentation using slides, include the information on the slides rather than in the notes. If you choose to use video, you are required to supply a script as well as the URL of the video.
Provide two current examples of the impact of technology on society. Choose your specific examples from any one or more of the following categories:
Education
Medicine
Work
Energy
Transportation
Disaster Response
For each of your examples, describe one positive and one negative impact of these changes.
Note that your examples need to be a specific new technology within the broad categories listed. For example, within the broad category of energy, you could focus on wind, sun, fossil fuels, or nuclear sources; for transportation, it could be electric cars or drones.
