The role of technology in transforming social culture



Since the broad innovation of technological concepts, many parts of our life have changed than ever before.  We can see an extensive perspectives of  the concept of ICT being integrated in most of our socio-cultural daily life. For instance, the role of new technological application for individual and group information exchange could be indicated by some of the social networkings that assist us to retrieve, repost, mushup and deliver information among networked community.  



Not only software but also the hard ware technology is being advancing from day to day. If we see on some of the hardware technology that help us to navigate, play, view, type, or listen, they seem to be multitasking devices. For instance, mouse aren’t only to navigate, but also to play, pause, forward and back ward and so on. The new technology have embodied most of our sense organ concepts into technological devices so that human machine interaction and interface will be full-fledged and more closer communication. The following picture shows us the newly reinvented devices of ICT.




Nobody can forget the products from the fertile mind and creativity of Steve Jobs Apple product. I myself am not the fun of apple products but I want to extend my admiration of his works that has come out with more advanced tools of interacting with the virtual world than we do in real world. We can mention a lot of them, for instance, iphone, mac computer, ipad, ipod, mp4, mp3 and so on.














Some digital technologies has become an ordinary equipment of daily use. For example, I have Sumsang galaxy, therefore, using this device I can do a lot of things that used to be done separately, I used to require different time and place, may be you need to send the file from one device to other. From camera to laptop, or from phone camera to internet connected computer and so on. However, right now we have witnessed the development of a single device that can perform multiple tasks, like I can take a picture using my phone, edit it, attach text and post it immediately to internet. The same task is also possible by Ipad, or other similar phones.




As I have tried to explain earlier, the role of technology in our daily life is much more than I can describe in a five or else images. What I mean is, technology has rooted down itself with the dimensions of most human elements, social, cultural, communication, politics( to speak out freedom, liberty, democracy) , educational(teaching and learning context), and so on. As an example from the features and formats of information visualization aspect, i would be very much enthusiastic to show the image of 3D application, like the eyeglass, projetctor and new branded sets of TVs convenient to display 3D data. 




Therefore, though these are some among all, like me, exposed on such technological experience, research has shown the impact of technology in sociocultural is out of control for its innovation and emergence is daily, perhaps, every hour, and world widely. 

your suggestion and criticism regarding to this is highly appreciated,

Cheers
