i have to held a speech for 3 minutes about this question.
can you gimme some ideas please ..
thank you very much in advanced|||We all know how much technology influences us, but few understand how dramatically technological innovations are affecting our world. The Barna Research Group recently conducted a study that gives some insight into how newer technology is perceived by age groups and how that technology is being utilized. One interesting perspective that the study found was this:
%26quot;All Americans are increasingly dependent on new digital technologies to acquire entertainment, products, content, information and stimulation. However, older adults tend to use technology for information and convenience. Younger adults rely on technology to facilitate their search for meaning and connection. These technologies have begun to rewire the ways in which people - especially the young - meet, express themselves, use content and stay connected.%26quot;
Although most Americans have adapted to the use of newer technology like the Internet, cell phones and iPods, not everyone uses them in the same way. These differences are likely no more apparent than among those our ministry reaches out to -- college students. College students seek and share information, connect with current friends, make new acquaintances, find entertainment outlets and even search for answers to life%26#039;s deepest questions through modern technology.
The world is rapidly changing and it is hard to keep up with all the new gadgets and updates that seem to come out on a monthly basis. For us, it is imperative that we learn about current technology and the role that it plays in the lives of people of all generations. A resistance to adapt to modern technology will only lead to one thing -- irrelevance.

Changing Technology World
Max Frisch said, %26quot;Technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we do not experience it%26quot;. The changing technology world seems to support his claim. Life is becoming mechanical as it is fast-paced. Movies like Matrix and Matrix Reloaded and the Terminator Trilogy demonstrate the possible threats to humanity by “intelligent machines”. Advanced technology produces a host of social, ethical and moral issues like cloning humans, creating humanoids who would soon replace human companions, performing and using genetic tests and many more.
Theodosius Dobzansky says, %26quot;There is no doubt that human survival will continue to depend more and more on human intellect and technology. It is idle to argue whether this is good or bad. The point of no return was passed long ago, before anyone knew it was happening%26quot;. This is unarguably true, especially when we consider the changing technology world. Given below are some examples of present and future innovative technology that will change our perspective and impact our lives significantly.
Global Positioning Satellite System
The global positioning satellite system is a space-based navigation system with 24 artificial satellites orbiting the earth. The GPS provides accurate information about the position, velocity and time of the user anywhere in the world and in any weather condition. Known in the past as Navstar Global Positioning System, it was developed in 1973 and is operated and maintained by the United States Department Of Defense (DOD). The GPS is a system that overcomes the limitations of existing navigation systems and its capabilities are accessible using small inexpensive equipment. The GPS consists of three parts: satellites, control devices on land and receivers that are carried on crafts or in hand.
Space Technology
Space shuttles are used to deploy scientific satellites and transport human and equipment to space stations. The shuttle was to be used as a reusable rocket and spacecraft. Russian and American scientists are also working to complete the International Space Station by the year 2006 hoping that the ISS will provide a more permanent laboratory in space. Shuttles are necessary for the completion of ISS. But the shuttles may retire by 2010, as the scientists are developing new shuttle replacement vehicles after the Columbia tragedy. One such vehicle is the Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) vehicle with one rocket engine that can be directly sent from earth into orbit. NASA is developing shuttle-like vehicles that may be employed as the shuttle replacement vehicles or shuttle replacement. One such possibility is a space plane that would act as an emergency rescue vehicle.
Innovative Technology
Underwater Robot
Hercules, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with mechanical arms, fingers and a variety of tools like acoustic and visual sensors and high definition television, would conduct the first archaeological excavation of shipwrecks and archaeological sites in the deep sea. Undersea explorer Robert Ballard is heading the exp|||yeah, in these past few years, the internet has been ruling the world. before only the priviledged would have access to computers, phones, etc. now everyone does.|||yes technology is changing the world very fast. examples are internet, 3g system, laptops, web camera, computer sharing. you can elaborate these examples in ur words to support ur speech.
