Technology means the use of machine to minimise human effort. Modern technology usually refers to computer technology among other types. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is something to look forward to.
The benefits of modern technology from the moment of waking up to that of going to sleep in the night are as varied and innumerable as there are people. In this technology driven world, life is made so easy that it is almost impossible to imagine how life must have been when none of this was available.
