Impact of Technology on Human life
We live in a time of great technological progress. Every aspect of our lives is changing. Humanities' scientific and R&D sectors are rapidly developing new technologies and changing as we adapt. The concept of Human, Human Identity and Human Nature is renewing. What's your place in all that and how can you be part of a technological ascendance?

globalization is a natural thing in the context of today's life, but it would be very wise when addressing novelty in technology into something that helps facilitate people's lives, not as a tool for bad things

The impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on organizations, for one, may be of interest in the broad context of this query. The article hyperlinked below presents an evolutionary perspective on the role of ICT. Firstly, this article points out the growing role of information in modern society. Exploring the historical context of technological revolutions but referencing in particular recent demographic patterns and globalization too, the article then reflects on pre-eminent first-order results from enhanced use of ICT in organizations. Finally, the article draws attention to future challenges and summons better understanding of how ICT might help deliver requisite organizational agility.

I doubt there is anyone answer to this issue.technological advances have occurred since the Paleolithic and the question has always been one of how it will be used. A rock can be used to crack nuts or the head of a stranger.
Technological advances hold great promise for bettering the human condition, but our record with technology thus far is not encouraging. Climate change is here and real, and could not have happened in the early Neolithic.
I am an oldster and doubt I have a place in technology's ascendance. All I can do with the perspective of many years is to council caution and careful monitoring.

In this chapter, we discuss the emergence of alternative products. Under conditions of severe competition, companies launch alternative products to gain the initiative and to promote increased sales, although the R&D and manufacturing cause large cost increases. In the case of the VCR, many alternative products, such as EVR, TED, and the laser disk...
A method is developed to conduct an economic evaluation of a potential process innovation prior to establishing the innovation's technical feasibility. The approach allows the identification of 'opportunity windows' for application/performance target combinations for new technology. The boundaries of acceptable performance can be set before investm...
We formalize an explanation for technology revolutions and growth cycles in a model where consumers and firms benefit from periodic changes in technology which result in the development and marketing of new generations of products. We characterize the equilibrium and analyze the effects of changing the rate of technology growth, resource endowment,...
