Technology, when defined, is applying scientific knowledge for practical purposes, which makes work easier for humans, but now it has become more than just a facility for life. Instead, it has become a way of life. It is slowly but changing the famous saying, i.e., \u2018Behind every success story there is a woman\u2019 as for now \u2018Behind every success story there is an appropriate use of technology.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 21st century, speed has become the passion of youth, time \u2013 the devil and technology \u2013 the friend. Everybody has developed a longing to progress and succeed, and do you feel technology helps them cope with the hyped growing process? Well! Of course, as who would choose to eat raw sugar over ice cream. Mobility, efficiency, margin for innovation, energy & time consumption, economic benefits\u2026.in short, we have it all. Now, the word technology is a lot more than computers, networks, or the internet. We, as creators of this artificial intelligence, are ourselves surrounded by it throughout. Every little human attempt for ease and convenience gives birth to innovation and technology, which is both good and bad depending on how you look at the glass, either half empty or half full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cTechnology is lust removed from nature. It creates an appetite for immortality on the one hand and threatens universal extinction on the other.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> -Don DeLillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are turning ourselves slaves of this artificial world. The value of human labor is declining as everybody is now becoming a tech puppet. There are immense expenses, the scope for distraction, environmental complications, and health problems; just as there is an endless list of advantages, so is the list of disadvantages, just as the two sides of the same coin. Despite the reduced employment rates, companies prefer automated and unmanned devices to be skilled and determined youth. Fieldwork is almost equivalent to zero, which leads to a lack of experience and efficiency. Technology, as defined by a famous personality, is a circus as until you are a spectator, you enjoy the show and get back home, but the moment you get involved in tricks, you become a slave and can never get back. But, do you think knowing all merits and demerits of technology is enough? Well! \u2018No\u2019 stands as an answer to this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 For instance, drinking milk is beneficial as it gives strength to our bones and provides overall nutrients for growth, but on the other hand, drinking milk can also lead to the outgrowth of various pathogens on our body and lead to allergies in the same way technology has helped reduce human efforts. Still, it has also started taking up human\u2019s position from time to time, but again it depends on how you look at it – a threat or a boon, a helper or a replacer. As we all know, too much of something is never too good, so is the case with technology. It all depends on how you let it affect yourself and how you make your body adapt to it.  India, being a technically advanced nation, has amused the world with its inventions and discoveries from time and again but it has also somewhere or the other given itself a blow. For example, the coming up of ATM (automated teller machine) is a boon as it enables the customer to withdraw cash at any time of need. It has taken up the human position but only for our good. On the other hand, at a few places in India, people have started using robotic waiters instead of hiring traditional human waiters to attract more and more customers; at a few places, automated vending machines have been set up for selling various everyday articles but take a minute to think, – Is this aspect of technology required despite many unemployed out there? The unemployed immigrants who readily work for a sum of money lower than the average salary is even expelled from that also with the coming of such inventions. Technology, at times, kills humanity and hopes, especially in unemployment and poverty. The solution to this can only be the invention and usage of what is required badly and discard all technical luxuries such as domestic robots, telemarketers, unmanned computerized receptionists, etc., and our resolution as an avail to another human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur future success is directly proportional to our ability to understand, adopt, and integrate new technology into our work.\u201d -Sukant Ratnakar<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the process of accelerating technology is continuous and to some extent, even we as clueless pets are also becoming a part of it but now is the high time when we realize what we are doing and that we are hammering our finger than the nail, now in this global break due to pandemic COVID 19 let us take a minute even to criticize technology than only blindly following it and now let us together take an oath to not be unfair with the upcoming generation and give our kids the opportunities which the robo-babies are enjoying. The coming generation is the unafraid generation; they condemn, segregate, and even protest against what is not suitable for them. They are hungry for the world to be a better place, and for this hungry generation, we have to take a step away from technology to come a step closer to actual technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
