Radio Program

The previous weeek we heard a radio program that was about technology and its impact on a company and on regular families and people in the United States. The results were positive and negative in relation to how it changes people's lives. I will explain and analyze the results of this impact in the next paragraphs.
The use of technology has increased a lot in the last years, specially in the United States. Nowadays companies cannot function properly and with efficiency if it is not with the help of technology. All their employees are in touch with it every day while they do their work. I think companies are very intelligent to use technology in excess because the more they use it the better they will achieve their objectives. It is important for them to give their employees the chance to work with it whenever they want at any time they want. For example, the best buy experiment results were positive.The people who worked for the company couldn't give up working. The experiment consisted on letting the people who worked in a company work wherever they wanted as long as they did their work well. And the results were even better than when they worked in the company. This shows us how people can't stop using technology never mind where they are, and that thanks to technology we don't mind working anymore because everything is easier with it.
Regarding the amount of hours per week a regular citizen in the United States works, the results are really high. This explains us how important it is for a country to have people who work hard to be able to develop and how technology makes people want to work due to the enormous help that it means.
In relation with technology in communication, the bad consequences appear. It is true that technology allows you to communicate with any person whenever you want through e-mail, chat or by phone. But as in the radio program, the abuse of technology is as bad as the lack of it. For example, a couple was practically all day multitasking until the point they didn’t talk between them anymore. It’s amazing to see how it can distort the face to face interaction in a family or couple. You can lose all sense of physical communication if you use technology in excess. Another example is about a person who installed technology gadgets (phones, computers, etc) all over his house so he would never waste time and did his job more effectively. He would be talking by phone even when he was taking a bath!
As a conclusion, on one hand technology opens new horizons to people and companies, in terms of communication or the development a country will have if they use technology. But on the other hand, an excess in the use of it can lead to several problems such as the disappearance of oral communication between people and workalcohlism too.
