Over the past few years, technology has impacted many parts of our lives. It has changed how people read, gather information, research, and many more ways of living.

Technology has also changed many people’s jobs. Before computers and cell phones, librarians had a harder job than they do now. They did not have computers to search where a specific type of book would be. They would have to use a card catalog and it would take a lot more effort to find a book or research.
Linda Sutliff, Brunswick librarian, said, “The internet has helped us over the years. We have more information but we still use our books. The internet has made our jobs easier.”
Technology has also impacted the workplace. Matt Franklin, head of IT security at the company RPM, said it has made his job harder. “Advances in technology have forced me to focus more on security. This impacts our ease of access of information,” he explained.
