Society - Ethics - and Technology

Question: Discuss ways in which technology challenges authority and aids in the redistribution of the power held by a few to a greater number of individuals. Answer: The main outcome of technology is to enhance the capacity of the individuals to perform their work efficiently (Winston Edelbach, 2012). It can be best described in context of stirring of the European society in which an enormous number of changes have been made in terms of science and technology. These technologies have a long-term impact since it has enhanced the standard of living of the societies and if such changes had not been occurred then the societies would have been lagging far behind in terms of development (Meagher, 2013).
