The effects of technology on Society?

Some effects of technology on society are causing children of such young age to spend the majority of their day lying around on phones playing video games and whatnot causing them to become overweight due to their lack of exercise. Children now days spend more time socializing on their phones rather than spending quality time with their family. However, technology has revolutionized in the medical field. For example, tiny robots were created recently earlier in the year that could be swallowed and tend to any wounds inside the human body instead of having surgery, therefore saving many lives.

People, companies, and institutions feel the depth of this technological change, but the speed and scope of the transformation has triggered all manner of utopian and dystopian perceptions that, when examined closely through methodologically rigorous empirical research, turn out not to be accurate. For instance, media often report that intense use of the Internet increases the risk of isolation, alienation, and withdrawal from society, but available evidence shows that the Internet neither isolates people nor reduces their sociability; it actually increases sociability, civic engagement, and the intensity of family and friendship relationships, in all cultures.
