Technology is a broad term that refers to the use of scientific knowledge to create

tools, devices, systems, or processes that can solve problems or enhance human

capabilities Technology has been a driving force of human civilization since ancient

times, and it has brought many benefits and challenges to our society In this essay, I

will introduce the topic of technology pros and cons, and discuss some of the main

arguments for and against technology in the 21st century

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, technology is a double-edged sword that can bring both advantages and

disadvantages to our lives Technology is not inherently good or bad; it depends on

how we use it and for what purpose Therefore, we need to be aware of the pros and

cons of technology, and make informed and responsible choices about our

technological consumption and development We also need to balance our use of

technology with other aspects of our lives, such as nature, culture, spirituality, and

human relationships By doing so, we can harness the power of technology for good,

while minimizing its potential harms

We have just finished our presentation Do you have any questions? All comments are

BODY

I Introduction of technology

1 Concept, history of formation, and development process

1.1 Concept

Technology is the invention, modification, use, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, skills, systems, and methods of organization, to solving a problem,

improving an existing solution, achieving a goal, or performing a specific function

requires a high level of brainpower Technology significantly affects the ability of humans and other animals to control and adapt to their natural environments Simply put, technology is the application of scientific discoveries to practical and specific goals or products that serve human life, especially in the field of industry or commerce The term technology can be used in a general sense or for specific fields, for example, "construction technology", or "information technology"

1.2 History of formation

The Fourth Industrial Revolution began at the beginning of the 21st century, following the great achievements from the third, formed on the improved foundation of the

digital revolution, with new technologies, such as 3D printing, robotics, artificial

intelligence, Internet of Things, $.M.A.C, nanotechnology, biology, new materials., Currently, the whole world is in the early stages of this revolution and is a pivotal strategy for developing countries to keep up with world trends and open a new turning

point for human development

1.3.Development process

The development process of technology has gone through many important stages from ancient times to the 4.0 era

e Early technology: This period began in the Paleolithic period, when people used simple technology such as stone tools to hunt and make tools After that, technology advanced through the stages of bronze, iron, steel, electrical appliances and electronics

10

® Industrial Revolution: The 18th and 19th centuries were the period of the industrial revolution Technology such as machinery, railways and waterworks changed the way people produced and lived This was a major technological

period that marked the transition from agriculture to industry

® Information revolution: The 20th century witnessed the strong development of

information technology and telecommunications Computers, the internet and

mobile phones have changed the way we communicate, transmit information

and access knowledge This is an important technological period that marks global connectivity

¢ Industrial Revolution 4.0: Currently, we are entering the 4.0 technology stage -

a period of combination between the physical and digital worlds Technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality and

blockchain are changing the way production, management and communication

are done This generation of technology specifically focuses on data mining and the connection between systems

From advances in technology, we have witnessed tremendous changes in daily life, economics and society Technology continues to develop at an increasingly rapid pace, and we are witnessing the potential and challenges that 4.0 technology brings

2 Overview

In fact, today's technology is developing very rapidly, becoming complex, unpredictable and deeply affecting every aspect of life Globalization, cooperation and

development are still the main trends with the emergence of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, bringing many opportunities, but also many difficulties for countries Technology, innovation and Industry 4.0 are evolving very quickly, making breakthroughs, with profound and multi-dimensional impacts on a global scale It is increasingly becoming a decisive factor in the competitiveness of each country

Technology is identified as the core of any rapid and sustainable growth model that

will promote economic and social development

11

The current state of technology is creating many opportunities and challenges In the future, technology will continue to develop and affect our lives in an increasingly

profound way

II Pros and cons of Technology in the 4.0 era

1 Pros of Technology

1.1 In studying and working

® In studying

a) Provide digital libraries to help students easily access various educational materials

Searching for a while,users can find a lot of mainstream websites for access to various educational materials,suitable for students who cannot afford expensive textbooks and materials

b) Help improve teacher capacity, develop technological skills, methods to assess

and track students’ learning outcomes

Through online tests and data analysis software will help teachers track student

progress and adjust the learning process Teachers and students can together use online forums, chat rooms, video conferences to share ideas and implement lessons together

c) Develop technology skills

Today's world requires everyone to have knowledge and skills about computers and the internet Using technology in education will help students learn these skills and apply them in their future lives

d) Expand educational outreach to diverse audiences

The main benefit of technology in education is its ability to expand access to

education for anyone Through the internet and online learning platforms, users from

all over the world have the ability to access courses and documents that were previously only accessible in traditional ways In particular, online learning can be flexible and suitable to each person's needs

® In the working

12

a) Eliminate the gap between departments within the same enterprise

When applying this in process and management, departments will be connected more

conveniently At work, from the notification process, implementation, processing or every other issue can be done quickly

b) Improve employee productivity

Thanks to the support of technology, staff can create more finished products than

before In the same period of time, an employee who applies technology will have more outstanding achievements and results than colleagues working with manual methods

c) Improve the competitive ability

In the context of high competition between businesses, if you do not soon access new

technologies, your business will become outdated and eliminated Therefore, when you have technology, your company will enhance its competitiveness and improve its position in the marketplace

d) Save data

Storing information using digital technology also brings extremely good results

Previously, we had to spend a lot of space and equipment to store data and

information Currently, storage has become more minimalist and neater than ever

thanks to technology software

1.2 In daily life

Technology has many advantages for our daily life It can make our tasks easier, faster, and more efficient It can also improve our communication, learning, health,

and entertainment Here are some examples of how technology can benefit us in

different aspects of our life:

« Communication

Technology allows us to communicate with anyone, anywhere, anytime We can use smartphones, computers, social media, email, and video calls to stay in touch with our friends, family, and colleagues We can also access information from all over the world through the internet Technology has made the world a smaller and more connected place
