Besides occasionally being zapped when I try to change the volume on the speakers, I'd say that technology often majorly impacts me in a positive way. Typically when technology is discussed, things like phones and computers come to mind. However, when I think of beneficial technology, medical technology comes to mind. I haven't had perfect vision in over ten years. Modern contact lenses are a lot more innovative than one would think. While contact lenses have been around for 120 years, the soft lenses we know today have existed for less than 50 years, The contacts I currently have attached to my eyes are not only better for my dancing than glasses, but also protect my eyes from UV rays and are specially made to fit my misshapen corneas. Another technology that positively affects me is the Epi-Pen, without this overpriced piece of medical technology, I wouldn't be typing up this blog right now. While technology like pacemakers have not affected me directly, they have kept my Nana and Grandad alive which I would say is a huge positive effect.
