Simply, technology is a tool which makes people’s lifes easier when it is used in a good purpose and in a proper way. For one thing, dynamites could be a game changer while searching for valuable mine such as coal or golden from the ground, but not to use it to kill people for sure. It has a game changer effect because it saves time with less work force but better result.
Secondly, technology brings not only easiness but it could also be a life saver. Imagine with less means of communication and less circulation of the knowledge, a patient caught up a mortal disease would wait a life time untill such cure could be found. But now, it is a matter of time to find a cure for a desperate patient thanks to opportunities bringing experts in a live communication from the net and easy sharing of the knowledge to make a good solution under such situations.
Finally, technology means progression in every aspect of human lifes. Remember the Gross World Production (GWP) rate while having only men power to produce before industrialization and how it climbed up to the huge point with the help of factories turning to mass production.
In conclusion, those technological advances in a global scale offer humanity to progress in every aspect of the way they live, welfare and many things.
