ABSTRACT
Societies across the globe have advanced because of the efficient and reliable technologies designed to solve problems or specific practical issues. Technology provides valuable health care options, social options, and our existence in the world. Throughout humankind’s recorded history, technologies have played a role in the shaping of our societies and the individuals with them. The technology that promotes social media has done a lot to make sure the transition from want to need remains a conditioned part of human existence. The social worker is immediately impacted at the macro level by the overwhelming support that may disenfranchise some and alienate others from the benefits of technology. The education of professional social workers must stay to keep up with the advances in technology to ensure social workers provide compassionate and caring helping relationships. Technology harnessed can become a very effective and efficient means of redistribution of access and use of social resources.
