identity theft, cyber stalking, and a lot of other bad things.
The society has been
changed with the evolution of technology. Life was burdening and everyday
chores consumed too much of our time, everything was performed manually before
the advent of modern day technology. The access to education, medicine,
industry, transportation etc. has been simplified due to development in modern

a new face to traditional libraries that include both digital collections and
traditional, fixed media collections. We know that traditional libraries are
limited by its storage space, but the digital information requires little space
to contain information, so digital libraries have the potential to store more
documents which can also be referred to as big data. The use of information
technology in digital libraries that will increase the number of users and the
expectations of the users.
Technology has also
brought about increased efficiency in production and quality of goods in the
manufacturing sector. Development is closely related with technology and the
stage of evolution at which the human being has arrived couldn’t have been
possible without the advancement in technology.
Agriculture, industry,
health, education, art professions, political processes, recreation, religious
activities and daily life activities all are under the influence of technology
now. There are some modern technological developments that play a major role in
making our daily life more effective. For example in day to day lives, most
activities are run using technology since the health doctors advise us to STAY
HOME. Most businesses are now run on social platforms, some doctors are
tracking their patients’ health using online applications. Technological
progress has provided us with advancements that equally determine whether we
move forward or backwards as well. It has enabled us to increase our comfort
and to achieve efficiency in all sectors of life.
Despite the cons of
technology, we can achieve development, with it. We can modernize our industry
so life becomes easier for us and the next generations
through the developed technologies. Coronavirus might take some good time
to disappear from the face of the earth so most businesses and other activities
are going to be performed using technology which will help boost it. Thus
