Have technological advances had a positive effect on the lives of people in your country?

In my country technology has been implemented in society and culture, faster and faster and with an increasing force. In my understanding, there are both advantages and disadvantages in this implementation that has been occurring all over the years. Communication becomes more accessible, the information "runs" faster and more easily. Medical advances surprise us everyday, and the education becomes changeable supplemented with technology. Today, living without technology in my society is quite impossible, however, we must not drop entirely in a technological life. Technology complements, it doesn't substitutes. An email doesn't taste like a hug, a site doesn't taste like a book, playing a computer game doesn't taste like playing in the street. Clearly our country has evolved considerably in many ways with the technological development, it's up to us people, to choose between the advantages and disadvantages that technology can offer.
