When it comes to which kind of scientific advance that has the greatest influence on mankind, I would answer without hesitation. Electronic devices and Internet connection.
Why did I choose these two types of technologies? Because both depend on each other to be function efficiently. Without Internet connection, electronic devices are unable to download anything or do any kind of research. Without the device, then the Internet connection has no platform to display the information we are searching for.
With the evolving development of both the technologies, it has stronger influence to us than any kind of scientific advance on Earth. The biggest change they give is the capability to access World Wide Web.
On the Web, we can research anything we want. This is helpful for adults and children alike to get answers on various topics. There is always a correct answer in the Web, as long as you know which sources are reliable. Once that skill has been mastered, this research method saves more time than the old fashioned way of filing through hard copies.
The Web also allows us to communicate in so many different ways, like sending voice messages, videos, pictures, and text messages. All the old time telephones and letters and postcards are nothing compared to these communication websites, like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, and so much more. This helps us stay connected to our friends and our world much more closely and instantly, unlike the slow mailing delivery speed, and no vision communication through telephones.
In my opinion, the most exciting influential gadget of the technology is games. Once downloaded, we are able to play it anywhere, anytime. Games are almost always there, ready to accompany us, should we feel lonely or bored. In the old times, when we crave action or racing games, only the occasional visit to the arcade room could quench the thirst. Nowadays, almost everyone owns their mini arcade machines, like PC’s, iPads, and many more. Although gaming occupies lots of time, it does give us a change of lifestyle from the grueling everyday work.
And of course, there are endless numbers of scattered apps, like Youtube, Netflix, and Picture Photoshop that are always ready to give us entertainment and a good laugh.
Electronic devices and their Internet connection has become a skyscraper advance in the scientific field. Not only have their creation made our lives easier and more lively, they have strengthened the thin silken web that has connected mankind for centuries, pulling all of us, alike and different, into a closer bond.
