Nowadays, you can get any information on the internet. If you want to know more about somebody or something, you just need to visit the search engines and search for the content that you want. This has made learning easier. If you have assignments, you can get the information that you need on the internet.

It has made communication easier.
Technology has made communication easier. Earlier on, you had to send write a letter and so on. The recipient had to wait for days and even months. Nowadays, people normally use text messages and emails to pass important messages to colleagues and relatives. If you want to take photographs, you can take a digital camera and upload them directly to your PC. Once you are done, you can attach a copy to an email and send it off to the recipient. This way, you can actually share experiences with friends and relatives.

Using computers, doctors can create virtual models of the development of various diseases. In addition, new drugs are developed from databases created by computers.
I think it is worth knowing the dangers of working at the computer. The most common dangers include: vision defects, headaches, stress, posture defects, computer addiction,
4.
We use technology more and more often also in sports and ordinary recreation. It allows us to train better and derive more joy from our achievements.
The most popular solution used are smartphone applications that record the distance traveled, show the number of calories burned and the distance traveled.
5.
The travel industry has been impacted by technology in a very huge way. There are Google Maps and so on which the user can operate and use as per their convenience. In transport it is easy enough that you can order an uber over the phone.

In education computer technology helps us very much. Just 30yrs ago people had to go to libraries to find out what they needed. They were wasting time by searching for information in encyclopedias or dictionaries. Nowadays by the internet we have access to all knowledge of our civilization and we can find out everything we need in a few seconds.
In my opinion in communication technology helps us the most. Apps like Messenger, Discord, Zoom, Whats Up and e-mail allow us to chat with everyone on Earth how much we want, independent in which country they live (if they have the same app and internet access). We can share with them thousands of photos, videos and all messages are sent in the same second. So we don't need to send letters and wait to reply a few weeks .
Regarding to health and sport, computer technology helps us too. Smartwatches and Smart bands can verify our heartbeat or check how much calories we burnt.
In our leisure computer technology gives us some fun and entertainment. We can choose between millions of games, watch thousands of movies, videos, streams and series in TV or platforms like Netflix, CDA, YouTube or Twitch. So clearly we have a large selection.
Computer technology made our transport really easy accessible and cheaper. Nowadays
We can buy or borrow an electric scooter, bike, order Uber or Taxi or buy a plane ticket by our cell phones with Internet.

Internet made our life easier and better especially in education. Many students can use internet to find information, pictures for presentation, inspiration or watch films about science. The internet can also help us in online lessons, because we can’t go to school. Students can find interesting topic or problematic sentence very quickly so it’s easier.
2. Communication- smartphones
Communication is much easier and better with smartphones. We can call to somebody when we want and contact with other people in a few minutes. We can also call on the video conversation so we see our family and friends and communicate with people who live far away from us.
3. Health- smartwatch, smartband
Smartbands or smartwatches can track our walk and run, sleep or how many calories we burn. They have heart rate monitor too. They are motivating us to do some exercises or go to the walk. We can control our health for small smartbands.
4.sports and leisure
We have many sports application, they help in exercises, diet and calculate our progress so we use them in training. In our free time we can watch films or read books in our smartphones or laptops. We can also play video games or scan social media.
4. Transport – electric cars
Electric cars are better than normal cars because they are safer for Earth. Electric cars are eco-friendly and don’t emit pollution. If we chose electric car we also safe our planet.

2.Computers are also connected with communication. Thanks to emails and internet communicators like Messanger, we have an easier way to talk with other people and communicate back. Also now we do not have to wait too much time for messages. We just get it in a few seconds.
3.Because of the Internet our awareness of health increases. Easily accessible medical information and prospect doctor's online advice help make a diagnosis quickly. There are so many devices which f.e. can check our health. It can be a blood pressure monitor or qualified devices used in hospitals.
4.A computer helps with diets and training. There are so many apps, articles, and films about the right regimen, so because of that we are sensible of food and our exercises are more effective. Computers for our leisure are perfect. They allow us to watch films, playing games or broaden our hobbies.
5.Transport became primarily commoner. There are so many kinds of transport- electric scooters, hybrid cars and also, and we can order them with one click on our cell phones. Also, traffic develops because of computers. These days buying tickets for transit is easier and especially cheaper.

2. Computer technology is essential to communicate these days. We can keep in touch with our relatives and friends, even if we can't see them in real life. It's really important because our relationship with people close to us won't get worse. Computer technology also helps to communicate faster, for example by text messages. In my opinion it's the most comfortable and easy way to talk.
3. We can control our health, thanks to computer technology. These days it's really simple to check for example how many calories we have eaten. We can also find out which diet is the most proper for us and what we should eat to be fit and healthy.
4. Computer technology made our life better with sports and leisure. We can use our computers to check on the internet how to properly do some exercises. There are a lot of programs on youtube, which are showing how to be fit. In leisure time computer technology helps us to relax. For example by playing computer games, watching films or series.
5.I think transport is much better now, because of GPS. This is the biggest achievement in computer technology according to transport. Travelling nowadays is much easier and faster. We can go everywhere we want to without worrying that we will get lost. In addition GPS always shows us the shortest road so we can move more quickly.

2. Internet give us a lot of options in communicating with people everywhere and anytime. We use social medias like Messenger, Facebook, Instagram to communicate faster, easier and more often than letters which no one writes now, only we get them as energy and phone bills.
3. In hospital computer technology is using in a different medical equipment like respirators, defibrillators, USG and RTG machines, lasers and assistive devices. Also when we go to the doctor we don't get an accustomed paper prescription but in an electronic form. It's good for an environment because it reduces a tree clearance for manufacturing paper.
To track our health we use fitness trackers like smartbands. Thanks to them we can monitor our heart rate, blood pressure, burnt calories and steps during the day.
4. In leisure we can buy clothes, food and furniture without leaving home, over the Internet. Also well-know forms of spending free time are playing computer games, reading books in PDF versions, listening to music and watching films on the Internet TV: HBO, Netflix, Ipla etc. Sometimes we search recipes on YouTube or cooking blogs. In shops we can pay contactlessly by credit card or using a special app on a smartphone. Also when we need more money we can easily withdraw them from a cash machine. We can download sports apps which help us to gain a dream figure and improve our physical condition.
5. In transport, GPS replace a road atlas and a town map. A backup camera in cars ease parking and avoid crashes.
Speed cameras at the side of a road photograph vehicles which go faster than is allowed. Modern machines make different means of transport: cars, airplanes, ships.

Communication is another field that technology made better for society. We can faster and more consistently communicate with other people. Technology allows us to communicate with people from different countries or even continents.
Technology gave us the opportunity to track our health condition. We can download applications that can help us with our health. Medicine as science is improving due to help of technology.
Technology made easier allowance to sports and leisure. We can watch our favourite sport stars compete with each other or we can download applications that can help us to be better at running for example.
Travelling is way easier thanks to technology. We can buy tickets online and communication in different country is way easier due to technology and easy translation.
