Tecnnology: Not a choice
The consequences of technology is a theme very
discussed nowadays. With the advance of technology, many people think that it
is good, others think that it is making us ‘less humans’ and that can be danger
spend so many time in front of the computer or watching TV. But, how can we don’t
make use of technology and what is the meaning of ‘less human?’
Some people constantly says that we shouldn’t
stay much time using the internet or our cell phones, but it is impossible to
don’t make use of technology nowadays. We are surrounded by technology, in our bedrooms,
our living rooms, our kitchens in the streets, everywhere! Young people may be
addicted to social media, etc, but I don’t think it is a bad thing. In the
future, things will get better (or worst, in the point of view of some people),
if nowadays the technology already helps so many people, in their studies,
their work, to meet new people, to be informed and saving lives, in a few
years, live will get so much easier with it. Technology is not a bad thing at
all, and using it shouldn’t be limited.
Another thing that is common to
hear is that technology is making us less humans, but what does it means? Well,
it probably means that we are losing our humanity, that we are in the way to
become robots. But is that a real bad thing? Being human also includes being
evil, selfish, ambitious and all the other bad feelings, because they are also
human feelings. I’m not saying that we should transform into machines, but
becoming less human may not be this bad.
In conclusion, we need to think
of technology in different ways, different points of views. There are a few bad
things about it, but, in the same time, it is probably the best invention of
the history. If you can’t see it as a real good thing, just accept it. Is not
something that can be stopped now.
