Impacts of technology on societies

I believe that the biggest impact made on modern society is computer technology. it has given us the oppurtunity to gain more knowlegde in any area possible. It has made research much easier for students to write papers and educate themselves on all subjects. It's much like the impact that the printing press had on the european society. it was invented by johann gutenburg and he was known for his work on the gutenburg bible. The printing press caused the cost of the books to go down so more could buy them. Because of this more people had the oppurtunity to learn to read and write. The ability to read and write opened up a world of oppurtunity for the people to study and research things.
