The great advancements in technology have changed the world radically. From the way we eat to our definitions of luxury, everything has changed over the past decades. Computers, smartphones, airplanes, televisions, air conditioners, etc have made our lives easier. But this marvelous scientific stream – technology – has its own positives and negatives.
On the positive side, technology has made transportation much easier by the invention of cars, etc. On the communication front, telephones have brought the world closer than ever before. The invention of computers and tablets has made business very easy. Technology also facilitated data storage, all thanks to the invention of hard disks, USBs, and most recently, the cloud. The Internet, a marvel of technology, has single-handedly revolutionized the entire world. We can now assess remote areas through satellites and explore the space all thanks to technology.
Although technology has its merits, it is damaging to several areas of life. Addiction to gadgets is giving rise to new psychic problems like insomnia, depression, and several other disorders. Its overuse can also lead to social isolation as people then avoid real-time interactions and prefer virtual communication. Moreover, there are now concerns about privacy as all the data is available online, which hackers can misuse. Technology causes a higher consumption of energy when we don’t turn our devices off and thus increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
So, in the end, one can say that technology is a double-edged sword. It is in our hands whether or not to use it judiciously.
