What effect is modern technology having on human behaviour?

Today science and modern technology is playing a major role in the way we behave but is it for the better or worse?



For example if you're a grub or crim and get caught on camera then everyone will see what you have done and if you go out and commit a crime then you may leave your DNA behind for the cops to find.



So how are these changes brought about by modern technology shaping our behaviour and how we manage to live our lives these days?What effect is modern technology having on human behaviour?
Modern technology has made life more complicated, it has eliminated jobs, caused the cost of living to skyrocket, and caused people to become more distant and greedy, yet on the other hand some aspects of it are good like you said. It is easier to find criminals and bring them to justice, there is much equipment in the medical community that saves lives. I suppose it all depends on the individual, because each individual experiences different ups and downs created by technology. I feel for the most part technology has destroyed our moral values in society, people care more about whether or not they can pay their cell phone bill than they do about whether their neighbors are going hungry. It wasn't always like that. People used to value human life, honesty and goodness, but most people only value whether they will be wealthy enough to outdo their neighbors anymore and they find joy in anothers suffering because it makes them feel smarter and better than the average Joe. I feel technology makes us more beautiful on the outside but has completely destroyed what we once valued on the inside. ;-)
Technology is always about evolution; it's like a river in flow, older water is continually replace with newer water. Again, like a river, it affects all beings living between its banks and beyond.



Modern technology has made it possible to manage one's life better. A simple example is a birthday reminder that you set on your cell phone or email. You don't have to remember every birthday of every person you know, just mark the date and put a reminder; technology will take care of the rest. So, technologies like this impact a person's life ubiquotiously.



Another aspect of modern technology is dependence, rather interdependence. Modern technology has made people dependent on it. There are people who feel lost without their cell phones, or have to check their email at the top of every hour. Such people think of themselves as 'connected'; but in reality they have let their shutters down to let everybody into their private/ personal lives.What effect is modern technology having on human behaviour?
modern technology has isolated guys, example, cell phone is useful to send sms or call anyone who is being hospitalized. in hospital they need to see or meet but the mobile phone has isolated patients, friends, lovers, and many more. these changes are brought by modern technologies. on the other hand there is no example where we have learn that owing to DNA crime has detected.. its not fruitful anyway
Technology is pretty lame because its making us live comfortable and complacent lives. There isn't much room for growth as humans when we are under so much control. We are animals.. I honestly think technology is granting us too much access to the ability to control things. Maybe approaching that point where when you hold on to something too hard, you end up breaking it. Im not sure whats going to break, but i think people are going to get fed up with this.



Atleast i would hope so. Technology is making the world a depressing place.. well, with the exception of modern medicine.What effect is modern technology having on human behaviour?
i think some technology has been helpful, but for the most part has divided us. instead of playing outside in the park or woods, children stay in and play video games. we use technology to make our lives easier, and yet people complain things are too hard. I think we should live like puritains did for a day and maybe we'd learn to get out and appriciate how good we have it. and i realize this is kind of hypocritical, but im just on working on homework.
of course technology changes things.

instead of kids going to to play they sit on their couches and play a video game,watch tv or chat online.

internet chatrooms have changed the way people inter act with each other. chatrooms let people be whoever they want to be which can be good or bad. cops use technology all the time to catch people but that doesn't stop everyone..stops some but not all. its all good though. i love techology but i dont always like it how its used.
Look, all you need to do is get off the internet. You remind me of this lady who rants about the iPhone on Youtube about how it will cause us to become evil..Ugh..get with the trend
Technology has taken our creative thinking and made us into zombies watching T.V.

We worship the T.V and MEDIA now and it is our new GOD.
why do you care what people on the internet say about this?

seriously?
its both good and bad.

First-of course- the state the economy is in is completely bad for human knowlegde because we need to take care of what is around us rather than what we 'want' to be easier. Before brains thought of this technologic madness we actually had to-hard for most americans to understand- "WORK" to get where we are now. Now that something has gone wrong with the country everyone wants to save money and stop paying high gas prices. well, stop being lazy and do it yourself. Dress warm and travel either on bus, train,bike-i dont care if its too cold ur grandparents had to travel the same way or worse..walk- carpool, or as i said walk. there are many people who can't afford a car to even care about the gas prices so therefore complaints are minimal. evrything else such as groceries or medical supplies may also be complainable but atlease they have aomewaht enought money to buy those iteams because they dont use it all on cars, gas, unnessesary clothing/shopping, sit down restuarants, fast food resturants, etc....get groceries and cook healthy food-yes its possible to eat healthy food w/o using salt, packaged foods,chips, stick-in-microwaves-food-for-the-whole-f鈥?using organic seasoning-which isnt very expensive-like fresh parsley-my favorite-onions,garlic from plastic bottles that does not contain salt. very easy.



so back to the original question yes modern technology is bad for humans because people cannot stop complaining about one thing which is just too easy to fix. or even many things that are easy to fix. now the government is another completely opposite thing and another strain to talk about.
