As human beings, we have worked through the ages on how a more comfortable and more technological world could be possible. Every developing technology has brought an innovation, a comfort to our lives and perhaps opened a business door. Artificial intelligence that is the subject of movies, the days when all work will be done by robots or robots in human form that will come among us have always been our dreams. Since the 2000s, we have been witnessing a revolutionary advance in technological developments. Today, however, we are grateful for the various possibilities offered by technology. So, how does this world we live in affect human relations? What awaits this human being trapped in the virtual world with houses in the future? Where can human beings take their place in this fictional world, both spiritually and materially? By asking these questions, my aim is to clarify how products such as the internet, mobile phones and computers, which we call the digital world, change people’s lives.

Technology is a digital force that makes our lives easier. But when it comes to technology addiction, technology turns into a factor that makes life difficult. Smart devices, computers, phones, and game consoles have all become indispensable in our daily lives. Especially when these devices are combined with the internet, it has become a normal habit for most people to use them for hours. And the normal process of perceiving this abnormal action causes many people to live their lives without even realizing that they are addicted to technology. The techniques we can try to manage technology addiction are as follows; To change the hours of daily internet usage, to prepare weekly internet usage charts and to ensure that they are followed, to write down the activities that we want to do but do not have the opportunity to do in a notebook and try to implement them.

Individuals who start working within a company with the remote working system can use this process very efficiently in terms of both self-development and carrying out the company’s business correctly. Works carried out within the comfort zone, without being tied to an office environment, are always carried out with a higher motivation and more away from stress. With remote work, you can manage your time well, complete your work and spare time for yourself. The remote working system, which has great advantages for both employees and companies, may also have disadvantages in some cases. Especially if the necessary controls are not provided for the employee, it is possible to observe situations such as being absent from work, moving away from the working tempo and not being able to complete the work. For this reason, employees should show the necessary devotion and not get too caught up in the comfort zone and should not stray from their sense of responsibility. Because the working person may lose his sense of responsibility in the home environment, if you do not set a certain working hour for yourself, you will not be able to control the order and functioning of your work. Therefore, you should prepare a specific work plan and stick to it. Thus, it is inevitable for you to be an employee who is both systematic and able to manage time well.

Web banking is a must for many people. We were able to get in front of his computer and do the necessary transactions immediately, without the need to go to the bank. We can pay our debts, send money, and perform loan transactions. In fact, we can do every banking transaction, such as opening a new deposit account, buying, and selling dollars and gold, thanks to the internet. This is just one of the benefactors of technology. While there are advantages to using internet banking, of course, there are also disadvantages. The first of these disadvantages is not being able to understand the cause of the problem when there is a problem with the operation you want to do. Normally, when you are involved in making a transaction at the bank and you have a problem, you can find out the cause of the problem from the person in charge, but this is not possible on the internet and mobile branches. Another disadvantage, or rather the risk, is that you are less likely to be defrauded by using internet banking. Internet banking fraud, which was very common in the past but has decreased in number as a result of some measures taken today, still makes a name for itself, albeit a little.

In these days when we can easily access everything, shopping has become one of the easiest things we can do. Not only do you save time in online shopping, you also do not get tired physically or mentally. Because with a single swipe of your finger, you come across countless product types instantly, and you do not have to go from aisle to aisles to find what you want. When shopping online, it is enough to write what you are looking for and find it in seconds. While online shopping has many benefits, it also has disadvantages. As a matter of fact, there are many fraudsters in the online world as in real life, and these malicious people can deceive consumers; They may even be able to steal your personal information. In order to avoid such a situation, we need to research the online shopping platform you plan to shop on beforehand and never shop from places that do not inspire confidence.

Remote education is an education and training program in today’s conditions, where live, video and audio lessons are taught in a completely virtual environment, where the participant can watch and view them again whenever they want, through the existing computer technologies, completely independent of time and place, without the obligation of the student and lecturer to come to the campus. It is a reasonable, modern, and forward-thinking educational system that is increasingly digitized. Ultimately, like all software, remote education platforms aim to facilitate the work of humanity. Security is a major issue with remote education systems, as it is with any software. Especially distance learning platforms that issue official certificates can be attacked by malicious people. For this, it is important that the system is open-source, and that periodic maintenance, updates, backups, and hosting are performed.
