Negative Impact of Technology
Negative Impact of Technology
'Technology and threats have a lot in common.' The negative impact of technology on society has left no stone unturned in proving this statement right. Let's get acquainted with more in the following write-up... It is appallingly obvious our technology has exceeded our humanity. ~ Albert Einstein
When I was a kid, we had a social life, and it was called 'outside'. And look at today's kids - Facebook, PlayStations, iPhones, Blackberries, and not to forget, television sets with 300 channels. My grandmother used to say, one day when technology would hover, humans would stop thinking before acting. This statement makes much of a sense, and why not? Technology has sidelined 'patience' from our lives. Every second that passes by is making us all the more dependent on technology. Some may call it a bliss, but some differ. They may agree to the fact that technology has eased up life, but they also believe that it has cast differences between us and our close ones. Think of it, with the help of Internet technology, we no longer meet our loved ones in person, who may be living in the same town as we are. Instead, we call, chat, or e-mail them.
What's more, we become anxious when the coffee machine takes a millisecond more in dispensing the coffee. We become fretful when a song takes a minute extra to get downloaded. Impatient as we've become, we humans might have eradicated this thing called 'waste of time', but many of us are still unaware of the stupefying negative impact of technology's ubiquity in our life. Agriculture, business, media, etc. are some fields where technology has proved its mettle, but at the same time, the dreadfully negative consequences that it has led us to are worth a concern. So, why always talk about the positive impacts of technology on our society? It's time to get real, and face the negatives too. The following bunch of words is an attempt towards understanding it all.
