The invention of Nuclear power, for instance, apart from terrifying and paralyzing creators has led to much harm and fear in the society. Most industries are faced by challenges attributed to the ever surging patterns of quality innovation given that it is usually associated with cost innovation. As most industries evolve especially the one’s dealing with microelectronics, the rate of quality improvement does not diminish and as a result profitability attributed to improved quality may be higher later (Fox, 2010).
This paper will thus explore the concept of technology in the society by looking at the past historical development of this aspect, as well as the benefits it has subjected to the contemporary community.

The current technology is at great risk of being obsolete as new inventions are being undertaken each day. Consecutively, there is need of this generation to prepare for tomorrow especially scholars, politicians and businessmen as they are the ones affected to a great extend before the impacts of technological changes resting on the larger population.
