Am I wrong?
Of course not! Technology has made our transport efficient, helped with producing our food safely, aided with healthcare, and even improved our ways of socialization.

Technology that changing our daily life also has negative aspects like the invasion of our privacies. Let’s take about all the way technology has changed our lives.
Improved Communication
From the days of calling people using a telephone to receiving and sending messages from the devices in our pockets, technology has improved the way we communicate.
Even though we have almost abandoned audio calling, we sure do make use of the technology that lets us text one another or engage in social media for communication.
We are more into video calling these days, which lets us see and talk to people in real time.

All the hackers and the scammers! They can hack their way into our lives directly or indirectly to gain financially.
