Technology has become a part of everyday society. Technology exists to either be solutions to problems that mankind faces, or to supplement existing solutions. I think that many of the great world powers citizen take for granted the benefits they receive due to the amount of technology in those nations.
   For the most part technology is focused on helping people. This can be to help people communicate with each other with use of satellites, cell phones, video chat, and the internet to stay in touch in minutes, when it took weeks or months before the aforementioned  technology came about. New medical machines and technology has improved the lifespan of people from around 40 years old to around 80 years old, as while as help people survive from various injuries.
   Overall, I think that technology has really improved people's lives for the better. While there is some bad technologies out there, like nuclear weaponry, and many people get addicted to some technologies, the mainstream of technology is around to help solve problems that everybody faces.
