Something to think about Technology Advancement

It gets interesting and amazing everyday how technology is advancing and been used in this generation.  So I must say  welcome to the 21st Century!  I noticed that you don’t have to dial a ten digit number to call your peeps anymore. Speed dialing on mobile phones saves you your precious time. Just one click and your letter travels across continents in 2 minutes( emails).
Merit: Technology has made life very comfortable for us. Cell phones, computers and even robots vacuuming our carpets and scrubbing our floors. We have everything in our homes just a click of button away.
As technology as ben so advantageous to us , there are lots of disadvantages to it.

Demerit: I remembered a day I went to watch a movie and at the end of the movie it said “Beware of piracy”. Even after that I came back, opened my laptop and I Dowloaded the movies I wanted.


At times accidents occur on the highways just because someone was talking on the mobile while driving .



This means the driver or technology is putting his loved ones in jeopardy or his putting my loved one in jeopardy........
Well my main argument is that ,  I feel technological advances is widening the gap between the various classes of the society. I fear that this might cause conflict in the midst of the underprivileged or the less privileged section of society and lead to more crimes.
Now the question is that DO WE SLOW DOWN AS TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES?


HAVE WE BECOME VICTIMS OF LAZINESS AND POTENTIAL DANGER BECAUSE  OF COMPUTERS AND CELLPHONES?

ARE THIS MACHINES RUNNING FOR OUR GOOD OR RUINING OUR LIVES?

  1. These are all very important questions and worth considering. I think technology is here to serve us and not vice versa. We always need to be aware of the appropriate uses of technology otherwise just anything else it can be abused which will inevitably produce negative results. I believe that the key is to take responsibility of and for the technology that we use; inform ourselves of its dangers and use it for "good" of everyone. There are plentiful things in this world that permissible but not beneficial. Thanks for the reflective post.
