Step-by-step explanation:

Technology changes society by changing our environments to which we in turn adapt. This change is usually in the material environment and the adjustment that we make with these changes often modifies customs and social institutions.Social change is any change, which is witnessed in the structures of society. This kind of change is comprehensive and includes all the aspects of society. On the other hand, modernization is a specific change aimed at the attainment of the norms of modernity.Technology the Internet, smartphones, and social media—can hurt our happiness, particularly if we let it interfere with or pull us away from face-to-face interactions. But, if we're thoughtful about how we use technology, it also has the potential to make us happier.
