Old and present: The impact of technology on life

Technology has been booming and has changed people's lives a lot. See, the difference between old and present life through the evolution of technology.

Watch TV

We no longer have a time base to watch TV shows on the 'radio station' schedule. Now, with the TiVo digital video recorder, we don't have to wait to watch our favorite shows. And thanks to Hulu and Netflix, we can review an entire program that has been missed, without buying any more DVDs.

Store photos

There is a hard drive, we don't need to buy too many photo albums.

We are storing more and more photos because photography is no longer expensive and very easy. We no longer store images in album albums, but instead add more storage space for computer hard drives.

Managing children

Previously, if you didn't live in the same house as your parents, parents would always control every step you took, and maybe grumbling why you didn't call. But now, parents have become friends on Facebook and the management of parents has changed.

Dating

Expect a long time to go through the phone, come back to expectation through chat and email.

No longer having to worry about waiting for your partner on the phone. But now we are anxiously waiting in front of a computer screen, hoping that our lovers will email, IM (instant messaging) or Facebook (text messages via Facebook).

Love

Many people are often too shy, not flirting with the enemy or being too embarrassed to receive confession signals. Today, they are engrossed, excitedly expressing their sincerity through their smart phones. And so, many confessions are sometimes unrequited .

Event organization

Agree to attend via Facebook but may still be absent

Previously, if you sent an invitation to someone by mail and received their consent letter, you may feel very happy that the person will attend. With Facebook, it's not always the case. People often tend to express that they will come, but the fact that they may come, may not come. So, if you are planning an important event and want to be sure of the number of visitors, using Facebook may not be the best way.

Computer

One of the benefits of technology is that once we had to borrow everywhere to afford a computer, and sometimes even lost the room to store computers; but now you can buy the 'all in one' computer for less than 1,000 USD. The product is only as small as a box.

When a person speaks on his own

It's just that they're wearing Bluetooth headsets.

In the past, if you saw someone walking while having very strong gestures and speaking aloud, you would be very surprised and might think they were crazy. But now, you will assume they are using a Bluetooth headset.
