Technology:boon or bane
Technology refers to
the collection of tools including machinery, modifications ,arrangement
and the by human .The human species
use of technology began with
the conversion of natural
resources in to simple tools. The
pre historic discovery of
how to control fire increased the
available source of food and the invention of the wheel helped human to travel from
place.
Recent technological developments ,including the printing
press,the telephone,and the internet have reduced physical barriers to
communication and allowed humans to interact freely on the global
scale.Technological advances have shown people a more efficient way to do
things.For example,education has been greatly advanced by the use of
computers.Students are able to learn on a global scale without even living
their classrooms.
Agricultural processes that once required dozens of human
workers have now turned mechanized.Thanks to the developments in
technology,medical discoveries have also occurred at a much rapid rate.Thanks
to machine with internet on the go,it has become very easy to get information
at anytime anywhere thanks to smart phones and tablets.
Communication is like water to life.We cannot develop
without communication.Communication technology
has blessed with advanced communicating technology tools which include fax
machines,electronic mail,mobile phones,video conferencing and social networking
sites.We can talk to people all over the world with just a click of a button.
In medicine too,hospitals have implemented modern technology
in surgical rooms and disease that were once termed as incurable,are easier to
tackle today.
As every coin has two sides ,technology also have its pros
and cons .In today’s world everything is more convenient and accessible for all
because of technology ,yet it comes with its share of disadvantage
Technology has isolated people socially.people are spending
more time playing video games online,and neglecting real life and human
contact.Technology has replaced our old ways of interaction.the increased
dependency on modern tools like calculators has reduced our creativity .We find
students today solving a simple mathematical equation with the calculator.This
affects the IQ,the way students use their brain and reduces the level of
creativity.Mobile phones can cause cancer if kept next to you over prolonged
periods due to intense heat they emanate.working for a long long period of time
on computers can affect vision.technology has serious negative impact upon the
health and living condition.computers can cause repetitive strain injury,a
disease caused due to long working hours on a computer.
Thus,we can conclude that while technology is a boon,we must
ensure it has not turn into a bane by using it effectively and fruitfully.
