Reflection

Technology is all about the changing of ideas into something tangible. Innovation is not only for those organizations and individuals who are creative, but also requires the presence of scientific and technological talent. Technology has without doubt transformed our lives into something much better but if we abused it can make our life miserable. Technology also can be Boon and it can also be Bane, it is up to us what will be to choose. 

In conclusion, technology has affected our lives deeply. We simply cannot imagine living without it. Without it, our lives would have been simpler, harder, poorer.
