　　Most people will praise those technological gadgets that they use in their daily life.Technology is developing at a very fast rate，and what most people did not even think could be real a few years ago is now becoming a reality.Cell phones，which act more like computers，have now taken the world by storm.A lot of people cannot imagine what life will be like if they don’t have the Internet，email and chat features on their phones at their disposal.The simplest of things，such as TV，movies and even video games，have also evolved，and each of them offers consumers a wide array of choices and new possibilities.

　　Although many will use and publicize modern technology for many of its achievements and advancements，what many don’t realize is that it has affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.Advancements in technology have also greatly affected certain sectors of the industry and have even forced certain businesses to shut down for good because there is no more demand for that type of work.

　　Newspaper companies，for example，have been hit very hard by the advancements in technology.Big newspapers and local agencies have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet.Businesses and companies now rely heavily on digital printing methods for work brochures，magazines，and other advertisement paraphernalia(用品)they need，which has put traditional lithographic printing(平板印刷)in a tough dilemma.Music does not have to be purchased at a music store anymore because MP3 files are readily available on the Internet as well，thus causing big music store chains to shut their doors for good.The movie industry has also been hit hard because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite movies online.
