Home:
We have many devices that have come along and made life easier such as heating systems. Positives are instead of the washing being an all day job a machine does it for you within a couple of hours, so you can go out and do something else. A negative is people can be come lazy, don't have to do manual work etc Moreover people have become to reliant on technology and couldn't live with out it. examples are; washing machines used to control valves to let water in, motors to turn the drum, pumps to pump the water out and so on. Also heating systems control the time the heating comes on keeps the temperature constant by turning the heating on/off etc. modern heating systems can control the individual temperatures of each room from a central place.
Leisure time:
Technology has impacted on our leisure time as-well, having machines and computers do manual work for us has given us extra time to do other things but we decide to spend this time inside watching tv, or playing on phones and tablets etc. meaning we are becoming unfit and obese and don't socialize with friends as much. Not doing this will have negative impacts such as people's health as they are not getting enough Vitamin D as they are not going out and not doing enough exercise means that you could gain weight. And socializing, this is because with technology people are talking over social media instead of meeting up and talking face to face that decrease our social skills. It also means our people skills are lacking and this allows our self confidence to become really low.
Social interactions:
The way we socialize has changed because now we text or Facebook friends instead of meeting them down the pub and are less social than before. Also Skype, instant messenger have many impacts such as we talk to friends over that instead of meeting, but if friends live the other side of the world, face time means you can speak to them regularly without flying to wherever they live! But if you meet people you don't know, this can be dangerous, e.g pedophiles. and you have put yourself in danger.
Need to leave home:
The internet has brought online shopping sites where you can get anything you want with just the click of a button. This is great for disabled and old people as it means they don't need carers 24/7 to help them go to the shops etc because they can have it delivered to their doorstep! You can also view almost anywhere in the world through your phone or tablet. On the one hand, these things are good as they you don't need to pay for travel expenses. However, just looking through a screen is not actually experiencing the atmosphere of a new place and is therefore not as good as the real thing.
