Essay To Apply To University

Society has evolved at the same time as the development of technology, for instance the creation of the internet; this amazing discovery allowed millions of people access information that in the past was not even possible. It transformed our way of thinking enormously, in which either positive and negative things appeared.

In a positive matter, the appearance of the internet opened the doors to an endlessly quantity of possibilities: communications, access to information, and the creation of new technological tools, evolving into the begging of a new concept called "vital communication"

This concept allowed society to communicate with an electronic device rather than in person, enabling us the possibility to talk to whoever we want, wherever we are.

But as I stated before I would conclude that the use of technology and the progress of it gave us a wonderful opportunity to communicate around the globe, making it easier and comfortable, making us instead of lonely, sociable, giving us the necessary tools to communicate easier with each other, breaking boundaries (e.g. the necessity to be physically in some place ) and embracing new possibilities for the future. I can be excited to see and experience new ways of communication technology would bring.
