I think that the piece of technology that has made the biggest impact on our lives is the computer. Without the computer you could not email or IM so it would be harder to contact people from all over the world. Also, without the computer you could not type things so you would have to write them or use the much more inconvenient typewriter. Another reason the computer is very important in our daily lives is that the computer is the only way to get the Internet to look up information. Without it you would have to buy a set of encyclopedias or go through other inconvenient measures to find out what you need to know. Because of this and other reasons the computer is one of the most important pieces of technology in our lives.
