As I dive deeper into this world in which technology plays a core role in development I started to ask myself whether the world is becoming a robotic entity ruled by machines and virtual intelligence. This piece of writing will discuss this very matter and will explain the effects of being controlled by the internet and technology. Nicholas Carr, an American writer who has published books and articles on technology, business, and culture, discussed this issue in his article "Is Google Making Us Stupid? ». As he argues that the intent is creating more problems in the process of learning. I agree with Nicholas Carr’s argument that the internet is becoming a way of holding the human capabilities back, because of many reasons and personal experiences.…

Canada is regarded as one of the most developed countries known to date in the 21th century, it could even be considered to rival even the United States. Canada could not have been standing where it is currently without a backbone to support it, that backbone is the 20th century.

One of the key tenets of transcendentalism states that, in so many words, technology is wrong and the advancement of such devices only serve to create problems.

From inventions to make farming more efficient to creating a phone that does everything with a tap from your finger, technology has transformed the way the world works for the better. Technology, despite its negative consequences, has led to many important advantages and discoveries that people depend on today as a standard of living.…
Several factors contribute to the weights of technological progress including the following: research and development funding, monopolies that spur innovation, scale of the market, induced innovations, education, human capital, and the accumulation of knowledge. Research and development allocations from the United States government have solidified the argument that support breeds progress. Because funding was allocated to American research movement’s vast strides were made in the technological world, including the internet. Monopolies tend to spur innovation because they encourage competition and incentives. When the industry sees that someone is making big strides in the way of innovation they want to exceed it so that they themselves can reap similar rewards whether it be monetary or socially.…

The internet, a global network consisting of interconnect networks represents a connected world where data and information can be discovered and shared without limits.
