Our world has become so digitally inclined. In a matter of 50 years technology has increased so much that we are above where many people think we should be. I think that our technological abilities have helped us and have also hurt us. I think when it comes to medicine in diagnosing diseases and cancer it is very good however when it comes to social life we are constantly on our phones. Speaking of technology, the other day I was in the hardware store and I found that there was a thermostat called a smart thermostat. Right now in my home I have a regular thermostat that I use buttons to set my desired temperature. However with a smart thermostat a lot of it is digital through a touch screen. Not only are smart thermostat cool and hip, but they’re also very convenient when it comes to setting your home temperature while you’re away. You can control your home temperature through your smartphone device. However owning a smart thermostat has a lot of Advantages. According to recent studies it is found that about 10 to 12% of energy can be saved through heating and about 15% of energy can be saved through cooling. This means that when energy is more efficient a lot of money can be saved on monthly energy bills. Even though technology can hurt us I think it also benefits the population especially when it comes to saving energy and money. I look forward to buying my smart thermostat and installing it right away.
