Technology


When faced with some and possibly bewildering technological changes, most people react in one of two ways. On the one hand they learn to adapt to the new invention and eventually wonder how they could possibly have lived without it. On the other hand, people recoil from anything new, claiming that it is unnecessary or too complicated or that it somehow makes life less than human.

To star with, some people may believe that technology is vital in order to make life much easier. Many people support this view due to the fact that technology provides individuals with several pros ranging from doing the shopping without having to leave the house to working at home rather than going to the office. Computers are able to perform more time-saving functions, transport is faster and more efficient and new inventions continue to help us to carry out daily tasks with ease and comfort.
As regard to scientific levels, it is said that several improvements have been achieved in the field of medicine. Scientists point out that cures for terminal diseases have been found. Therefore, the lives of thousands people are being saved day after day.

However, it could be argued that technology id often seen as the main culprit for replacing human beings taking into account computers as a clear example. For several people, computers still represent a threat to our freedom and usually give us a frightening sense of a future in which every single decision will be made by machines. Thus, man is being replaced by technology in many ways and as a result he is becoming redundant. Moreover, several critics are convinced that technology has somehow ruined childhood. Nowadays, children are not longer playing outside their home but shutting themselves away in their rooms and losing themselves in individualistic activities such as, television viewing and computers games.

Taking both sides of the argument into consideration, it could be said that although technology provides people with a whole range of outstanding features, it has also created new problems for mankind. But while it has created problems we should think carefully before dismissing its many benefits
