While some ethical environmentalists would say that the price we have to pay for living in a technologically advanced world is far too expensive as is evident from the degrading conditions of our ecosystem. Nevertheless, refuting the necessity of technology in this age would not be altogether honest. Among the many fields, where technology is indispensable is the field of health and medicine. Diagnostic equipment like MRI machines, X-ray machine and CT scanners; therapeutic equipment, surgical tools, machines needed to monitor patients and life supporting equipment are among the few technologically advanced machinery that is required in a good hospital.

It isn’t just science and engineering that has benefited form the technological advancements, art and sports too revolves around such advancements. Be it the disc spinning disc-jockey at a local pub or the Olympic swimmer whose health is regularly monitored, both avail the countless uses of technology. From microscopes at school laboratories and escalators at malls to complicated equipment at the NASA institutes and equipment at a cricket stadium, all are testimony of technology’s advantages.
