Wrong Direction

Technology, the word that we usually take for granted and most of us never bother to think of how this development affected us in just about every measurable way. For a start, lets define the term technology. Technology can be identified as the collection of processes and methods that we use in the production of goods and services. Everything you see, everything you touch nowadays relates its existence in way or another to technology. The daily use of technology changed the entire way we live each day. Wether some people may refuse to admit that technology contributed in the creation or discovery of new things, the fact remains that they are wrong, somehow. Give a burglar an ambulance to aid injured civilians and he will probably use it as a getaway vehicle. People misunderstood that technology was meant to enhance our daily performance and improve productivity. Take mobile phones for example, their purpose was to ease communication among individuals. However, the effect of this technology ruined the entire society, social life has been literally demolished and corruption spread all over society. Creation of super weapons that were meant to spread peace in mother earth have been used to annihilate it.Thats just one example of whats happening. The words can go on and on. In the end, I find it difficult to see a way out of this issue , all we can do is just cross fingers and hope that we realize the devastating result of the wrong use of technology, and by not doing so we are committing suicide and self termination.

  1. I found your article very well structured but I think that technology just like anything in life, it has a bright side and a dim side. Each person has the will to chose which way he wants to take technology and use it. Technology is an abstract. It has no lean towards good or bad.
