Persuasive Video

In modern times, we are progressively utilizing technology to improve our lives. We use it at home, school, work, and other environments because technology makes our lives more efficient. More and more people are applying technology into their lives because they benefit from its advantages. Over 3.8 billion people use the internet today, which is 40% of the world’s population and that it is estimated that about 8 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2020. This means that technology will be accessible all over the world soon and that this accomplishment should be rejoiced because technology is a blessing. A couple reasons why technology is a blessing is because of how it improves our lives in terms of healthcare, easy accessibility, and how it helps our environment. Technology played a big role in the medical field. People were able to create naturally-moving prosthetic limbs, robotic surgery, imaging machines such as CT and MRI scanners and many more. It also created Electronic Health Records where both medical billing and coding have switched from being paper-based to a computerized format, which is beneficial for everyone because they can make healthcare more efficient and cheap. Another area that technology has improved upon is the efficiency in our basic day-to-day lives. One of the milestones of technology helping our daily lives is the improved communication. Electric communication has created new methods of exchanging information between people such as social networking websites, emails, voicemails, and video conferences. Another aspect that technology has improved upon is the transportation. We now have cars, buses, ferries, planes, and many more vehicles that made traveling much more agile and potent. Technology also invented the GPS (Global Positioning System) which is designed to aid users navigate through the environment with ease. It has also helped the environment in a lot of ways. It developed renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power that are cheaper and helpful for the environment. Technology helps the wildlife by environmentally monitoring the area to make sure that environment-related laws and regulations are followed. Additionally, more and more people are going digital and are using less paper, thanks to technology. This type of accessibility lessens our dependence on trees, which reduces deforestation. Technology has done so much to people for a very long time. Although some may be bad, the good that comes from the rise of technology outweighs it. Technology is a blessing because it improves the quality of life and how something as simple as making a persuasive video is possible, thanks to technology.
