The relationship between society and technology is quite complex, creating what many characterize as a co-dependence of one upon the other; society creates and depends upon technology to meet its needs and desires. Modern technology, or something close to it is absolutely essential for supporting the 6 billion plus inhabitants of the Earth today— and technology's very existence arises due to society's needs and desires and history. However, this "symbiosis" goes further than that: every advancement in technology influences and eventually changes society. So the needs of society change, creating more needs, and eventually creating more technology, and conversely. (McGinn 1991)

Consider only communications: telegraphy, radio, and the telephone— with its latest progeny, the mobile phone. With the invention of electrical forms of communication, society began to depend on ever quicker means of communication among its members. Higher expectations for speedier communications were initially met using telegraphy, then radio, then telephone systems. This demand for ever speedier (and more accessible) communications led to the invention of the portable phone. The influence of such technology is so pervasive, that now anyone can be said to be accessible 24/7/365 in most places in the world, even in "the heart of darkest Africa" or Antartica. Gone are the days of lost explorers and mysterious "lost worlds" (thanks also to GPS). The modern business world would be mightily hampered if it had to give up its cell phones, faxes, internet, personal computers and printers and copy machines— yet that was the world of the early 1960s, scarcely two generations ago!

Many technologies allow one society to have a significant advantage over another society. This may be indirect— as something that promotes population growth— or this can be direct— in the form of markedly superior weapons. The effects of these technologies on human society are complex— at the extreme, resulting in one human society enslaving, assimilating, or annihilating another. Some technologies are initially employed for one social purpose, but then used for one or more others. Moreover, the widespread adoption of a new technology invariably launches the need for the rapid adaptation of old technologies and the invention of new technologies. The car is example of this... it was created and marketed as a substitute for the horse, initially for the wealthy, but as its use spread among the population to people of all walks of life, it began to require many supporting activities and industries, such as road building, gas and service stations, etc. Its superiority as a means of transportation inspired its use in war, but its increasing need for fuel may eventually lead to resource wars.

The use of mass media techniques, such as newspapers, radio, and television programming, allows a select number of society's members to have great influence over the attitudes and opinions of others. And mass media often shapes mass opinion, thereby effecting and affecting social change

Good luck. I know this isn't much try googling it and go from there.
