Abstract

The impact of modern technology around the globe on both humans and other physical environments cannot be overstated. Technology has widely affected general ways of life and events. The level of technology has continued spreading to many developing nations, which is not only affecting human lives but has a great impact on employment and business activities as well. This situation is analysed from two perspectives in this paper; concerning the negative and positive effects. The study gives a short overview on how work was done before and after the advent of digital technology, and with the help of collecting problems resulting from modern technology, it suggests possible ways of minimisation the negative effects of the technology, especially in developing nations struggling to adapt to new changes.
