Document Summary
Technology is the applicaion of scieniic knowledge for pracical purposes. It is a rapidly developing industry that has had an impact on the lives of many. Mankind went thousands of years without the technology that is around today and managed well. It has become a part of our everyday lives, to the point that there is a dependence on it. With the growing ield of applied sciences, this industry is only going to coninue to grow. Space and ime are universal forms of the existence of mater, and the harmonizaion of objects. The ime spent on devices or following the media is ime wasted and that is ime that we cannot get back. Once it has passed, we cannot recover a single moment of existence. There have been many essays, ilms and studies done that discuss how technology has reduced our world to such an extent that space and ime have lost their everyday meaning.
