“ Tec hnology is a useful servant
but a dangerous master”
Lous longe.
»What if there is no technology, why don’t we just imagine our lives without
technology. Waking up by the rays of sunlight , getting water to use from wells,
going to so -called schools/colleges /universities or other institutions by walking
God know how long, no cure of diseases, no entertainment, no nothing .
Technology easies work of human beings . It can be both blessing or a curse , because our whole
world now -a-days revolves around technology i.e; How we communicate with each other? How
we see the world? And How everything else etc.
Basically, technology is a mean of communication between the individual s and the way by which
information can be exchanged between them. It serves us as a source to share our ideas or
thoughts with other people.
Now the question is .. W hen technology began ? In 500 B.C; the Abacus , which is also called a
counting -frame, was the fisr t known Calculator. Throughout history, In 1885 , the first
Automobile was introduced . In 1927, first Television was introduced and so on.
In the past, people had limited resources for communication like they had to travel miles to give
a simple message or convey information from one person to another. There was a decade when
messages were in the form of pictures ; than in the form of different fonts or alphabets. Messages
were conveyed by birds like pigeons. Now -a-days , information technology has made this so
easier to communicate, send or receive messages throughout the world.
Technology is everywhere in today’s society, progressing faster and faster everyday , but
sometimes technology can be used irresponsibly , which could endanger others e.g; Computer
where knowledge is handy . On the other side, A study has found those who work for more then a
decade at a computer terminal are twice as likely to develop Bowel Cancer. Another well -known
technology Cell phones ; the absolute means of communication . A research says that 78% of
teens now have a cellphones. Everyone knows cellphones are one of the surprising gift of the
technology that are able to perform a lot of works at once. Now -a-days , cellphone is not just a
phone, but it is like our private secretary that keeps track of everything and provides us neces sary
information. A research shows that after ten years , Ipsilateral tumors e.g; the tumors in brain,
eye, ear etc will be started in human beings. Another well -known technology now -a-days are the
Televisions. No doubt they are in everyone’s house , bonds the families. But on the other side,
According to the A.C. Nielson; the average American watches more than four hours of television
each day. In a sixty -five years life, that person will have spent nine years glued to the tube.
Obviously , everything has two facets; one is positive, and the other one is negative and t hese are
always for sure . Just like t echnology has both a dvantages and disadvantages through we can
prove how the technology is blessing or a curse .
»Here are some of the Pros of technology :
• It saves time.
• It improves efficiency.
• It allows us to do more with less.
• It gives us every -type of information.
• It can be a mean of entertainment.
• It allows us to experience new cultures.
• It can be beneficial in online learning.
• It makes easy to communicate with the people around the world .
The in -between/precautions:
• Limitations for kids and families.
• Teach ourselves to put down the phones in public.
• Be more present wherever we are.
• Use secure connections.
• Be selective with friend's requests.
»Cons of technology :
• It leads to health problems.
• It can be a factor of wastage of time.
• It creates the need to constantly upgrade.
• It can be leads toward social isolation.
• It is not affordable for everyone.
• It is making a generation of laziness.
• It creates social devisions .
• It can be a factor of declin ing in the physical activities .
• It makes less interaction with the people around us.
As we know that, technology is the oxygen of twenty -first century, many people rely on the
technology too much. Here we can say T echnology is both a blessing or a curse because without
it we would not be able to achieve a -lot of things and also without it we would not be a ble to
communicate with our loved ones overseas through video calling or texting. However it is
obvious that, these devices can’t develop real relationships.
Another point is Technology without moderation is making the world around us more long and
less enjoyable. Moderation has always been the key to success. Mankind has become dependant
on technology, and it isn’t always a blessing as it takes us away from the real world.
Technology has all the informat ion by click of a button . The downside to all this information
available on the internet is that much of it isn’t accurate e.g, Wikipedia .
The difference between superficial and human intelligence is the lack of soul. One of the most
unique qualities about being human is the ability to read and feel emotions but unfortunately, the
excessive usage of technology in the lives of many young children has distorted their human
ability to recognize their own emotions and thos e of others.
Technological advances save lives but sometimes they ruin them. The excessive use of
technology has brought death and is slowly taking the wild attentiveness of the human breed.
Using technology in moderations, I think is the best way because we need technology. We will
end up being better . I personally felt that, technology is mor e of a blessing than a curse because it
gives us choices which we don’t have before and improved the human’s living conditions. It has
been a curse that our ancestors were fortunate not to catch and we were damned with for eternity.
“Technology is made for man, and not man for technology ”.
