In our modern age, technology helps us store and reach information faster and easier than we have ever seen in any time period before. These systems have changed how we live, how our societies function. New technologies and methods about information will happen in the future for sure, it will have many great effects to the human society for some. However, many also think that it will have many consequences.
One big advantage of modern data storage is saving time and space. Instead of using paper or heavy books, we can now keep thousands of files on a simple technological device. This is really helpful for many. We don’t need massive libraries for our books, we don’t need to spend as much money on books. We are in the age of information and it has many great advantages.
Another great benefit is better communication services. Online tools help people share files and work together from anywhere around the world. This is useful not just for companies and nations, it is useful for every citizen of the Earth. This enormous communication network brings the humans across the world together.
Still, there are some major risks. One of the biggest is data privacy. If personal data isn’t protected well, it can be easily stolen. That could lead to identity theft or many other issues. Also, if we rely too much on technology and our new advancements, we become frail to the lack of them. We lose our ability to live without them.
The very strong communication network also has many problems. It is much easier to spread propaganda, false information and many other undesirable data with a massive audience. It can be used for dividing our society, or it can be used for oppressing people.
To sum up, the new advancements on data technologies has many pros and cons but at the and it comes out to one thing, the usage of that technology. We can’t say that something is bad just because it is risky. The same thing goes for data technologies, they can be used for good things like informing people of things they need to learn or it can also be used for making unjust propagandas. The thing that determines the goodness of something is its usage and I believe that we can use these technologies to benefit us rather than harm us one day.
