Technology Change

Technological change refers to the improvement and invention of technologies to enhance existing products and processes, resulting in increased efficiency and lower costs. It consists of three stages: invention, innovation, and diffusion, and has both positive impacts, such as economic growth, and negative impacts, like diminishing the value of human labor. Technology has transformed our lives by creating new products and processes, improving communication methods, and evolving economies.

Technological Change | Overview,

Stages & Examples

What are three examples of how technology has changed

our lives?

Technology has impacted our lives in several ways. Some of these include new products and

processes, increasing efficiency with lower costs, evolving economies, and decreasing self-reliance.

How has technology made our life easier?

Technology has positively impacted human life in many ways. One of the major ways in which

technology has positively changed or impacted our lives has been in improvements in industry and

economic growth.

Technological Change

The definition of technological change refers to the improvement of the already

existing technologies and the invention of new ones to improve the existing products in the market

while also creating new ones. This can be defined as the process of increasing the efficiency of a

product or process resulting in an increase in output without increasing input. This is because, in

technological change, a business does not have to start by assembling new raw materials to make a

product but uses the same product and improves the initial technology to create a more superior

product. Technology change also involves when somebody invents or improves a product, then it

gets a bigger reward for the same amount of work. A bigger reward for the same amount of work is

possible with a given level of input. The phases of technological change


include invention, innovation, and diffusion. Technological change has a lot of advantages

including enabling the creation of new products and processes, increasing efficiency, and lowering

costs. One of the major disadvantages of technological change is that workers are less valuable to

employers. This is because the new technology used is faster, efficient and the manufacturing

techniques ensure less wastage than human labor

Stages of Technological Change


Technological change has three important stages; Invention, innovation, and diffusion. They will be
discussed as follows;How Has Technology Changed Our Lives?
Technology development has impacted our lives in several ways including new products and

processes, increasing efficiency with lower costs, evolving economies, and decreasing self-reliance.

One of the major ways in which technology has positively changed or impacted our lives has been in

improvements in industry and economic growth. In contrast, it has negatively impacted our lives by

making workers less valuable to employers.

New Products and Processes

Technology plays a big role in creating new services and processes and finding new ways to

improve the already created products and processes. Technology keeps changes and processes run

obsolete but due to technological change, inventions that were released years ago with limited uses

and advantages have been remodeled and improved to provide a full user experience like the mobile

phone. Mobile phones were initially only used for making and receiving calls and several factors

undermined communication but due to advanced technology mobile phones provide multiple

communication ways including mailing, texting, or video conferencing.
