One of the biggest impact technology has made on humans is the reduction of physical work for production. With advanced machinery human has to do comparatively less physical work and that has an impact on how human body is evolving over the course of evolution. With the advancement in scientific knowledge we know know some of the secret of the universe that had only mystery in the past. Our knowledge of the smallest and the biggest has made a huge impact on our natural philosophy of the world. We no longer see religious text for the explanation of our own universe.
