Daily use of technology in 2013
The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes that occurred in the period from about 1760 to some time between 1820 and 1840.The invention of the stem engine is what started the industrial revolution.The Industrial revolution began in Britain andwithin a few decades spread to Western Europe and the United States.It marks a major turning point in history; almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way.
Our lives are influenced by technology on a daily basis, in such a way that technology has become a norm in our lives.New inventions are made everyday, technology evolves faster then the human race but yet we are still interdependent.We use technology to simplify our lives in various ways ranging from communication to making a cup of tea.From the moment we wake up we depend on technology, whether its a cell phone or a car.

Feelings about the affects of technology
An extreme dependency on technology is experienced, this dependency can be seen as good or bad.Its good because technology simplifies our lives to an extent, but bad because we stand a chance to loos our traditions and cultural values to the new age. the world may be big on a geological scale, but through the use of technology we are unified.Technology can simplify our lives but it can also deprive us from being productive. Instead of doing something we sit in front of the television for hours.
Generation gap
Our parents and grand parents may not share the same view of technology that we do.For them Google is the internet, tablets are something they drink in the morning and cellphones are for emergencies only.But the fact is that they are as dependent on technology as we are. They also watch television to hear the news, they use modern transportation to get from point a to point b.in the end, no matter how big the generation gap, technology andthe evolution there of affects everyone.
Conclusion
To conclude: technology does make our life easier, we are dependent on the evolution of technology, it may have its own advantages and disadvantages but the bottom line is that WE ARE SURROUNDED BY TECHNOLOGY, we must just draw the line between living life and using technology
