Today's Technology - For Better or For Worse?BY: laidespecial | Category: Technology and Computers | Post Date: 2009-09-10
From the beginning, technology has been part of human history. Day after day, mankind continues to progress in the field of technology. There was a time, when pager, radiogram, typewriter -you name all the old tech-were the best of the best. To people back then, it might have seemed as the pinnacle of technological advancement. However, anybody reading this will agree that technological achievement today is by far greater than what has been achieved in history. With the plane, mankind can travel the world in seconds, with the phone, you can talk to a friend who is miles away, send pictures, music, messages. With the internet, you can buy the whole world, chat, get any information you want... Yes indeed mankind has achieved a great deal in the field of technology. Personally, when I reflect on what used to be, I cannot but marvel at the level which man have reached. Who knows what is to come next! At times, I try to visualise a life without technology. I picture a world without electricity. At night, the whole place is dark and silent. Everybody goes to bed early. There is no noise of TV, music. You forgot to relay a crucial message to a work mate but there is no phone to pass it on. You feel hungry, but there is no left over because there is no fridge to preserve it. You feel cold on a terrible winter day but you have no heater, you miss your relatives and friends who are miles away that you desperately yearn to talk to them. You have no phone and the only means to see them is to walk down the miles. No internet, no car, no train, no plane, no scanner, no fax, no printer... Without a doubt life will be difficult, if not impossible, without these things. Technology has changed our world for the better. Our reliance on it clearly demonstrates this. In a way though, it is tearing us apart. Mankind have achieved a lot in technology. It is suppose to make our life easier and more convenient. The opposite seems to be happening. People seem less happy today. Partly it can be blamed on the progress in the field of technology. Children prefer watching TV or playing games than talking to their parents. The parents would not mind as they have load of work to finish from office using their blackberry or iphone which they have connected to the office system. We seem not to have time for each other. We prefer to do our things online, on the phone, by email than talking or seeing the person on the other end. The essence of human interrelationship is being lost all in the name of technology. We no longer share the pain of each other as we have never got to know/meet them to know how they are doing. The enormous information which can be found on the internet is also disturbing and alarming. You could learn how to create a bomb in a second. Destructive powers are available for terrorists or any one who is keen. Hundreds are dying everyday as a result of bomb explosion. It is easier now to destroy lives on a grand scale. The environment is threatened by mankind He pollutes the environment by smoke emitting from various machine like car, plane…Forest, animals habitat are being intrude and destroyed as man continues to expand and fuel his quench for technological advancement. Clearly, today's technology is not without its woes. Yet it is indispensable. However you view it, technology is like the mouth and the tongue. The teeth keep biting the tongue but the tongue cannot do away with the teeth.
