subject: The changes technology brought to our lives [print this page] Technology has definitely transformed our lives in a lot of ways. Even as I am typing this in a bus, I realized that I would not be doing this if it was 5 years ago, where broadband service was not common among our community. Such is the changes that technology bring into our community that no longer do our lifestyle remains the same as it used to. The same can be said regarding how technology changes our education system and the management being run around the world. People are always connected through the internet and almost everything could be search with a click of the mouse. However, it took quite a while for technology to impact the lives of our disabled community. It was only recently that we heard about Powerchairs or mobility scooters. Before this, all we heard of were crutches and wheelchairs, which required very little of the development of technology. The disabled mobility technology development has led to the invention of mobility scooters, rise and recline chairs, electric wheelchairs and many others to help the disabled mobility community. This development in the disabled mobility aid for the disabled has been partly thanks to the effort and innovation contributed by companies such as Pride, Days, Shoprider, Drive Medical, Electric Mobility and many others. These changes have helped many of the disabled to find some confidence in themselves as they are capable to move around more independently with these growth. It would be great to see how technology can continue to change our lives for the better.
