Explanation / Answer

Answer)

Technology is a part of our daily life, As said about various things in the Society and Technological Change: The Nature of Technology that technologies involve control, have side effects to the environment and also to human and that also technologies can fail under various circumstances and that the design and the usage of the technologies are complex. Thus, when we say that technology is inherently equal or fair, I'd say yes. We choose technologies for our everyday tasks and making life easier. Thus, yes using technologies have been making our lives and communication more comfortable and make us more in control of the environment, also we can do many things at a time with the help of machines and technologies.

Technology and its uses can surely not affect individuals equally, as some people might use less technology, and other people might use more of it. Being dependent on technology more or less is the idea. If people are using technologies more, then the effect of the technologies will be more on them.

Technology cannot be gender, as technologies are common for everybody. You cannot gender a refrigerator or a washing machine, and specify that only a specific gender can use them, or it is meant for a specific gender only, thus, technologies cannot be gendered.

Yes, technology is always dependent on the society, as to how the government acts with a particluar technology and considering the values of a particluar time, what technologies are undertaken and what others are rejcted. Technology has also infulenced the history and human society, thus bringing revolutions in technologies and people's lives and the society.
