Question

What revolutionized or was paramount in getting us to where we are today in terms of technology (software, hardware and the intenet); and what's most influencial or life chainging?

Answer 1

Technology(hardware, software, and the internet) change the people life. Technology is changing the way we live. It has the way we communicate with each other, and even the way thinks. Some of them are as follows-

• Mobile Phones: Telephones have also improved the lives of people by making communication easier. Now people can keep in touch with others from all around the world with just the dial of a button. Cell phones have as well made this a lot easier by allowing a call to be made from anywhere around the house.
• Electronic Funds Transfer: Today we are hearing digital media that is cashless trasaction or paperless transfer system.  You get grab cash from your bank account anywhere in the world and use PayPal to buy and sell stuff on eBay without sending money or checks through the mail.
• Robots and Artificial Intelligence: This is the best hardware and software technology invented by science.the first real industrial robot was built in 1954 by George Devol. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology founded its Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in a quest to mechanically mimic human minds as well as hands. Today, robots assemble products better, faster and often cheaper than manual laborers, while more than 8 million U.S. airline flights a year are scheduled, guided and flown with the superhuman assistance of advanced software.  
• Nuclear Power: This was the awesome technology as a source of power. The United States today has about 100 active plants that generate 20 percent of the country’s electricity, second only to coal as a source of power and have been steadily increasing their capacity.
• The Internet: Now in days is almost impossible for people not to use technology to communicate. A huge example is Facebook .The world’s largest library, it’s also a global news channel, social club, research archive, shopping service, town hall.
• Nano Technology: Nanotechnology is directed toward understanding and creating improved materials, devices, and systems that exploit these new properties. One area of nanotechnology R&D is medicine.
• Personal Computers and Laptops: People use personal computers and laptops to play games, keep diaries and trade message with friends across the country.
• CRISPR-Cas9: CRISPR-Cas9 is completely different. It’s fast, easy, and is already impacting the world we live in. The technique has enabled scientists to do amazing things, reverse mutations that cause blindness, stop cancer cells from multiplying, and even make cells impervious to the virus that causes AIDS. Biologists have used CRISPR to render wheat invulnerable to killer fungi, and engineer crops that can withstand droughts.

The Most influential And life changing technology:

If we were to actually compare the way we live today and how life was a few years back, we will definitely notice how much technology has transformed our lives. It has given us a lot of freedom and also a lot of ways to save on resources and time. It is not possible to give one particular type of technology credit for all this change. How much the economy of a nation has grown can be measured by measuring the level of technology that they have achieved.
