Unseen Passage with Questions & Answers

Passage:
The modern world is highly dependent on technology. From communication to transportation,
healthcare to education, technology has revolutionized every aspect of life. The internet,
smartphones, artificial intelligence, and automation have made tasks easier and more
efficient. However, technology also has its drawbacks.

One major concern is data privacy. With the rise of social media and online transactions,
personal information is more vulnerable to cyber threats. Hackers and cybercriminals exploit
security loopholes to steal sensitive data, leading to financial and identity fraud. Companies

software updated.

intelligence are replacing human labor in many industries. While this increases productivity,
it also leads to job losses. Many workers must acquire new skills to stay relevant in a rapidly
changing job market.

Despite these challenges, technology has greatly improved healthcare. Advanced medical
equipment, telemedicine, and robotic surgeries have saved countless lives. In education,
digital platforms and online learning have made knowledge accessible to students worldwide.
