Advance technology is a branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means in relation with life and the things surrounding it. It is the usage and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of an organization in order to solve problems or perform specific functions.
Technology nowadays is very essential in people’s lives. Some examples include cars, computers, cell phones and televisions. These things may sound fancy but technology can develop further with time. Why? It is just a matter of time that people will think of something innovative and create a new product or invention! According to Jin Sun Kim (2008), as technology develops, there are not only advantages but also disadvantages. With technology being programmed to be productive, it helps people by giving them time to relax because the machines will do the work for them. Also, one important thing is that they are programmed correctly, they are very accurate with their work; they often do no not make mistakes so one must not worry. On the other hand, technology has its disadvantages, the development of technologies will let the machines take over the jobs of people and eventually people will lose their job and will have a hard time to earn money. Thus, they will not be able to continue to meet the basic needs. In addition to this, machines are complex, people must know how to multitask. Also, if these machines get broken, people who don’t know how to fix them will get frustrated and have to spend large amount of money to get them fixed.
In the end, technology will still be a question of whether it gives more advantage than disadvantage to the society or vice versa. All we know is that technology constantly develops over time. People will continue to think of new things that can even blow are minds off but in spite of these advances, it is our duty to manage these and decide what’s good for everyone.

The King versus the Black Mamba
The National Basketball Association fans have been debating on proving who is the better player in the league. Well, actually two player, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant, have been the main focus in the debate. Both of them have been dominating the NBA since they arrive. They have been the main attraction and the stars of the organization.
Comparing them in terms of their physique, Lebron has a heavier built weighing around 260 pounds while Kobe weighs around 180 pounds. Also, Lebron is taller than Kobe by two inches having the height of 6 feet 8 inches. You might be surprised but even if Lebron is heavier and taller than Kobe, he has still proven to be faster, quicker and jumps higher. People even say he is like a video game player. Well in terms of statistics, Lebron averages 21 points per game which is lower than Kobe's 24 points per game. Insights maybe that Lebron is a better passer. Well in defense, Lebron wins, he blocks and steals the ball more from his opponents. He works hard to get these things done. Regarding their records and awards, Kobe won several like an MVP award, four Finals MVP award, 5 championship titles and a phenomenal 81 point game. Similarly, Lebron had his awards too, such as back to back MVP awards and recorded an average of almost triple double per game but still yet to have a championship title.
Kobe, I can say is a veteran and championship material player while Lebron is a fast paced player that wants thing to be done instantly. In conclusion, both players have different styles and roles. We cannot say now who the better player is, but all we can do is just wait and see when the time comes when they will face off in a championship game.
