The World of Technology

Simply Technology is everything that makes life easier; for example computer makes our life easier is technology, same to the internet and so on. Knowledge would be one of those factors that have been made easier to get accessed. Not only knowledge, but certain things such as computer, internet access, calculators, television and so forth that helps one to be more aware of these conveniences. Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances divide the two concepts. Technology is an amazing tool with which we can enrich our lives by communicating with and learning from people all around the world.  It allows us to have a long distance friendship, keep in touch with our college freinds away from home, meet amazing people, build a business faster and more efficiently, and to research and learn things in seconds that would have taken hours or even years the old fashioned way: technology" can refers to material object of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques.

The term technology can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", “information Technology”, or "state-of-the-art technology". Technology is an enormously field that emerged at the end of the last century as our society experienced a fundamental change from an industrial society to an “information society.” From its inception just half a century ago, computing has become the defining technology of our age, changing how we live and work. That is why we called this age “THE ERA OF TECHNOLOGY”

Technology surrounds almost everyone in modern society today. It affects both work and everyday activities. Technology contains information that many would rather it did not have. It influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share information, which they would otherwise not be able to get. Even if a person does not own a computer, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone. The technology, which is just now beginning to be disrupted and hacked, is affecting the minds of young people in ways that could be harmful. It is affecting our immediate young future. It also gives another form of communication and exchange of information, which was not available before, information that is both good and bad. Technology is the driving force of the future. It is changing our lives and shaping our future rapidly. The new technology will have a major impact in all of our lives. Technology has improved the way people feed, clothes and shelters themselves.

Technology is a wonderful thing…until it isn’t. So, Technology has also changed other aspects of everyday life, such as health care, education, job satisfaction, and every-day time activities. We call the age were in today the "Technological Age". Technology is often considered the key to a nation’s economic growth, which shows that technology affects everyone. Unemployment numbers will most probably rise, crime will increase, and we can be the masters of technology, and not let it be the masters of us. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are new terms, which describe the important role computers have come to play in our industry. Technology may also be used to solve urgent problems. For the first time in human history, almost all the goods and services people use depend on technology. The whole point of this is that people have to be sure that everyone is aware of all the good and bad aspects of technology. .

Gen. Idi Amin Dada

Early Years

A member of the small Kakwa ethnic group of northwestern Uganda, Idi Amin's birth date is unconfirmed, but estimated to have been in 1925. His mother, an herbalist and diviner, raised him after his father deserted the family. Amin had little formal education before joining the King's African Rifles of the British colonial army in 1946 as an assistant cook.

Military Service

Extremely charismatic and skilled, Amin quickly rose through the ranks. His stature was rather notable. He stood six feet, four inches tall and was a Ugandan boxing champion from 1951 to 1960, as well as a swimmer. He soon became notorious among fellow soldiers for his overzealous and cruel military interrogations. Eventually he made the highest rank possible for a Black African serving in the British Army. From 1952 until 1956, he served in the Allied forces' Burma campaign during World War II, and in the British action against the Mau Mau revolt in Kenya (1952–56).

Before Uganda's independence in 1962, Amin became closely associated with the new nation's prime minister and president, Milton Obote. The two men worked to smuggle gold, coffee and ivory out of Congo, but conflicts soon arose between them, and on January 25, 1971, while Obote was attending a meeting in Singapore, Amin staged a successful military coup. Amin became president and chief of the armed forces in 1971, field marshal in 1975 and life president in 1976.

Rise to Power

Amin began his rule with popular actions, including freeing several political prisoners. Simultaneously, however, he sent out “killer squads” to hunt down and murder Obote's supporters, predominantly those from the Acholi and Lango ethnic groups, military personnel and civilians. His victims soon came to include people from every order and rank, including journalists, lawyers, homosexuals, students and senior bureaucrats. He expelled all Asians from Uganda in 1972, an action that led to the breakdown of his country's economy.

Amin became known as the “Butcher of Uganda” for his brutality. It is believed that some 300,000 people were killed during his presidency. In July 1976 he was personally involved in the hijacking of a French airliner to Entebbe. In October 1978 Amin ordered an attack on Tanzania. Aided by Ugandan nationalists, Tanzanian troops eventually overpowered the Ugandan army. As the Tanzanian-led forces neared Kampala, Uganda's capital, on April 13, 1979, Amin fled the city. Escaping first to Libya, he finally settled in Saudi Arabia.

Death

On August 16, 2003, Idi Amin died in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The cause of death was reported to be multiple organ failure. Although the Ugandan government announced that his body could be buried in Uganda, he was quickly buried in Saudi Arabia. He was never tried for gross abuse of human rights.
