Explain how the invention and widespread adoption of the technology you selected effected social change.
TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL CHANGE
New technologies have created new capabilities, including access, capture, speed, and permanence. Technology often has a more wide-ranging effect than the purpose for which it is chosen. As a result, advances in technology present both opportunities and threats to individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.
