Introduction
 Technological revolution is, in general, a relatively not long period in history when
one technology (or better a set of technologies) is replaced by another technology
(or by the set of technologies). As Nick Bostrom wrote: “We might define a
technological revolution as a dramatic change brought about relatively quickly by
the introduction of some new technology. "It is an era of an accelerated
technological progress characterized not only by new innovations but also their
application and diffusion.
 A new technological revolution should increase a productivity of work, efficiency,
etc. It may involve not only material changes but also changes in management,
learning, social interactions, financing, methods of research etc. It is not limited
strictly to technical aspects. Technological revolution so rewrites the material
conditions of human existence and also reshape culture, society and even human
nature. It can play a role of a trigger of a chain of various and unpredictable
changes.

 The concept of technological revolution is based on the idea (not
unquestioned) that technological progress is not linear but undulatory.
Technological revolution can be:
 sectoral (more technological changes in one sector, e.g. Green
revolution, Commercial revolution)
 universal (interconnected radical changes in more sectors, the universal
technological revolution can be seen as a complex of several parallel
sectoral technological revolutions, e.g. Second industrial revolution,
Renaissance technological revolution etc.)

Revolutions in the world
We can identify several universal technological revolutions which occurred
during the modern era in Western culture:
 1. (1600–1740) Financial-agricultural revolution
 2. (1780–1840) Industrial revolution
 3. (1870–1920) Technical revolution (or Second Industrial Revolution)
 4. (1940–1970) Scientific-technical revolution
 5. (1985–present) Information and telecommunications revolution

Through the topic……
 What is Technology… ?
 The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially
in industry.
- machinery and devices developed from scientific knowledge
-the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences.

6.
In those days……
 People were combined with the nature…
- Loved it
- Treated it well
- Enjoyed it
- Grew up with it
 Then they were an actual part of nature by all means .
 They did not need an any special part of the day to be with it as they were
always with it

7.
In those days……
 Communication also was really wonderful …
- They wrote each others…
- Waited for replies…
- More wonderful dreams & hopes were there
 Sometimes the same reason made them
- Poets
- Creative thinkers in many probable ways

8.
Technology wakes up…..
With the time .. Technology started to emerge
It involved to ,
* Communication
* Industries
* Household etc ;
& people got the rhythm , got on to it , get used to
it.Gradually…
They started to change. The time they spent with
the nature they allocated to this newly arrived
magical visitor. People got the turn with the
TECHNOLOGY in early 90’s NATURE remained
same but not for long.

9.
Technology got modified…..
That’s when the modern technology born & started to grow up & started to get
fed by human being . Nowadays it has become an essential thing to get our
lives going.
Tragedy is that it has become a huge impact to the lifestyles of the people .
Adiction to machinery items has become a threat to the lifestyles of
children. And they are driving their lives out of the real world they should
experience.

10.
 Increasing technology gives a vast passage to communication
or
 With the usage of machinery items to communication , mind force us to think
that the technology has given the priority to make the communication easier. The
same reason itself make the people to go for the latest communication sources
available , mostly for MOBILE PHONES.

11.
Effects on man kind….
 Technology is young ,& first to hug the technology is the
younger generation of the world.They are always in touch
with the updating technology. Considering communication
, the evolution of mobile phones has clearly affected on
most of the young people all around the world.
 Call phones to Smart phones. History made from
Allexander Graham bell to Steve Jobs & travelling beyond.

12.
 Surely these things are positive though them affects on our lives on bad
way in some ways…
 Without the technology
-we wouldn’t be able to talk friends , family who are away
- we wouldn’t be able to stay updated with the world
but….
Yes !!! its possitive

13.
Negative things happen…
 With the development of mobile phones SOCIAL NETWORKS are coming
in to your palm & people get addicted to it.
 Consider this
- you are sitting at a restaurant table with 5 friends and each of you put
your face down hold your smarts phones and check emails or update social
status,
Even with google glass (which is less distracting) you STILL ignore others

14.
Just think…
 When you listened to the ,
Singing of the birds for last time ?
 When you ,
Read a book (Novel, Short story) for last time ?
 When you
Had you time together with your family members ?
 But surely more than that you may have sat infront of PCs LAPTOPS to
make yourself fill with ARTIFICIAL SATISFACTION

15.
OR YOU MAY DO…
But, sitting infront of a COMPUTER holding a SMARTPHONE or a TAB at your
palms
It does take a toll on our health…. &
We end up having ,
- Poor eating habits
- Obesity
- Back pain
- Vision problems
- even some unexplained disorders

16.
Just try….

17.
Look around you..
 World is far worse than you saw it for the last time…..
 Still you have the time to surf the world rather than the CYBER SPACE
 Go on ….
BECAUSE…..

18.
USE TECHNOLOGY
 With ,
Control
Limits
 Tech gadgets are here to
Help us
Serve us
Not the other way around

Impact

Impact
 Positive

21.
Enhanced Teaching and
Learning
• Technological developments like digital cameras, projectors, mind training
software, computers, PowerPoint presentations, 3D visualization tools; all these
have become great sources for teachers to help students grasp a concept
easily.
• It has to be understood that visual explanation of concepts makes learning fun
and enjoyable for students. They're able to participate more in the classroom
and even teachers get a chance to make their classes more interactive and
interesting.

22.
• Globalization
• When schools in different parts of the
state , students can “meet" their
counterparts through video
conferencing without leaving the
classroom.
• Some sites, such as
www.glovico.com are used to help
students learn foreign languages
online by pairing a group of students
with a teacher from another country.

23.
• No Geographical Limitations
• With the introduction of online degree programs there is hardly any need of
being present physically in the classroom. Even several foreign universities
have started online degree courses that student can join.
• Distance learning and online education have become very important part of
the education system nowadays.

24.
Impact

NEGATIVE

25.
Declining Writing Skills
 Due to the excessive usage of online chatting and shortcuts, the writing skills
of today’s young generation have declined quite tremendously.
 These days, children are relying more and more on digital communication that
they have totally forgot about improving their writing skills.
 They don’t know the spelling of different words, how to use grammar properly
or how to do cursive writing

26.
Increasing Incidents of Cheating
• Technological developments like graphing calculators, high
tech watches, mini cameras and similar equipment have
become great sources to cheat in exams.
• It is easier for students to write formulas and notes on
graphing calculators, with least chances of being caught.

27.
Lack of Focus
• SMS or text messaging has become a favourite pastime of many students.
Students are seen playing with their cell phone, iPhones day and night or driving
and very often even between lectures.
• Being ever-connected to the online world has resulted in lack of focus and
concentration in academics and to some extent, even in sports and extra
curricular activities.

28.
Advantages
• It makes students more excited to learn
• help students with busy schedules, freedom to work at home on their own time
• train students to learn new technology skills they can use later in the work
place
• Decrease paper and photocopying costs, promoting concept of "green
revolution"

29.
Disadvantages
• Many experts and experienced people say that, due to such technology in
education, students imagination is affected, their thinking ability is
reduced.
• Also its sometime time-consuming from teacher’s point of view.
• It is costly to install such technology.
• There can be health issues too when used over limit.
• some students can't afford modern computer technologies
