Just like how discovery of steam engine caused revolution in the world of technics, computers caused information revolution today. We can now say that the biggest technology progress is in the last 50 years. Because 50 years ago ENIAC – the first analitical machine was discovered. In the 70s we already had the first generation of computers. They of course were very big and expensive and they couldn’t work long. Ant that was the reason why they were used only in big and rich countries by governmental institutions and scientists. And only in the first part of 90s computers became popular all over the world.
Now we are talking about such things like Internet, computerized information systems, information databases. These things are closely connected to our life and we couldn’t imagine living without them.
Not only a person couldn’t live without these new technologies. Now everything – banks, airports, governmental system, telephony, etc. are based on latest technologies. Why is it all so necessary?

It's not necessarey the only reason we depend on technology so much nowaday's is the fact most people are lazy. Technology has made everyone lazy I could lets say walk to school it's only a few blocks away wait why walk i can just drive there . It seems like thats how most people see technology now. Why do somethign myself when i can have a computer or somethign do it for me. If somethign did happen where all electronics were rendered useless most people would die omg I can't open this can i have no can opener i can't do it by myself without technology. We depend on it way to much now before no one had cars they didnt have everything made easilley for them they did it themselves. Sorry for my rant lol.

Why is it all so necessary? It is only because a man needs to know more and reach more than he has and knows now. Scientists search for other life in space and they use latest technology – everything is computerized.

BUSTED!

true,latest innovation in technology seems to make people a lot lazier. lol... imagine Jetsons where in they dont have to walk..but their life seems to be fun..

i wonder if the far future will be like that..

Well the technology is not necessary, we can still live like we lived in 18th century. But why to live like that, when we can live more comfortly with new technological invents? Look just at Internet, at school. 20 Years of ago, students must learn, and search in the books, when they need to write some article... now Google and Yahoo is here... and all you need to do is file save as Also just look at Google Earth.. 20 Years ago, the images like Google earth can offer you now, was the TOP SECRET images, of big military forces like ex SSSR and USA. Now the technology is moving bounderies of impossible

It is not necessary, we can live without it... but we don`t want, because life is so much easier
