The whole future is going into the age of technology. Everything we use or do has to do with an electronic device such as mobile phones, computers, laptops, I-pods and even tablets. The new age of information and technology is now the importance in this economy. We use it to develop automotive safety, talk to people across the country, fill out job applications, mostly everything we use needs a computer. One of the biggest things in technology right now is social media, the way we contact people to let them know how we're doing. What are friends and family doing in the time that has passed? There are many great social media groups out there like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and even Instagram that help us stay connected with people all over the world. Even though we use social media for fun and to let people know what life is like there is also a negative side of social media that people don't know about. People Follow others and find people on social media too. The deaths occurred via social media groups of people who entered their home address and were there at the time they are there. Other people send embarrassing rumors and photos of old friends they now hate and despise. People have also lost their jobs because they don't know that employers go online and see what they put on social media. Social media has both positive and negative sides, but it depends on what you do and what you put into it. Make sure you're smart when you're on social media, you never know what's going to happen. Companies also use social media to support their company name and make themselves known to the world. Facebook is a great source of online business like UFC that sells products, tells people about big upcoming fights or otherwise can help grow the company... mid-paper... helps solve problems. This also requires a lot of knowledge for computers to take bank fees or get credits when you go out and spend money. Sending statements, checks or invoices is all because of computers. In the long run, computers are of great help to the future and the economy. They help us in much of what we do today, whether it is socializing with others, doing good business or even expanding knowledge. Most jobs are handled by computers and life is surrounded by technology. Music, cars, video games and new sports equipment are all designed by a computer and made by us. Technology improves every year thanks to the technology we have today. We grow faster and smarter as we build. The computers we create get better as we progress, better hard drives, faster processors, and for mankind and computers, better memory..
