Advantages: Easy access to information
It has become quite easy to access up-to-date information anytime, anywhere. This has been made possible thanks to modern technologies such as broadband Internet. Innovation and creativity.
It used to be very difficult to start a business, you needed a lot of capital, and there was limited access to business information. It's easy to start a business today from home.
Disadvantages of modern technology:
Increase loneliness
Social isolation intensifies, people spend more and more time in video games, use social networks, and they neglect their real life.
Job loss
Modern technology has replaced many human jobs, robots do the work that people used to do
