The household equipment especially the cooking equipments have saved a lot of time and work for the common man. In view of the scarcity of cooking materials like firewood, technology has proved to be of immense help by providing other modified cookeries. The transport industry is another sector that has improved significantly due to technology. Man has improved from the use of animals as a mode of transport to use of vehicles. Airplanes and ships are a result of technology that has helped in faster transportation of cargo and people (Ryan and cooper, 2008).

The machines have helped in producing hefty amounts of final products and in a quicker time compared to what humans do. Technology has proved to be of much help in areas that seem to be life-risking. While taking into account the entertainment industry, Internet has brought a massive change considering that information can be sent to many people in few seconds through it.

There is no regulation of how to use the Internet and thus giving the ability to those with low moral values to post bad items on it. The personal contact between friends and relative has minimized with the introduction of computers as they are the new means of communication. The introduction of modern machines in industries has resulted in leaving many people jobless (Castels, 2009). When people become unemployed, cases of criminal acts also increase.
