OBSESSION WITH TECHNOLOGY

There is long term debate is going on a topic “Technology boon or bane”. I myself is in a favor with a point that, yes, technology is boon for a human being because of what all benefits that we are enjoying in our daily life. It has made our life comfortable in many ways. So yes, I accept that technology is a boon for us.
But here I am taking a very narrow look on a point that how this technology is changing the way we human behave in our life’s. We use to hear in our schools that human is a social animal that needs society around him for any reason may be social, emotional, and physical or security what ever it may be. But now this obsession with technology is changing everything our habits, behavior our socializing pattern.
For first & very large extent we have stop trusting our memories or our brain power or may be say that we are too busy in other things that we stop remembering the special day or our near and dear ones like birthdays, anniversaries. We use various website & our mobile to do this job. We almost stop remembering the phone no. as we use mobiles for that also. (my own example I still remember many no. that I by heart before taking a mobile but after taking mobile I hardly do bother to remember a single one. Faced problem at time when you urgently required some no. but you might not have u r cell with you on spot). And a very simple and striking things use of calculator is so extensive that we hardly put stress on our brains to do any calculations. At times calculating simple calculation without calculator is tough task. (I remember by grand pa who use to calculate various SUMS without use of calculator as efficiently as calculator does.)
Many of us also have stopped reading news papers as we try to get all news from television quickly listening to it & quickly forgetting it. That`s hampering our vocabulary as well as our command over language which is so essential in competitive world. We all know about it.
We also use social networking sites extensively but why don’t we realize that there are people whom we can meet personally if we want to n let the sites be communication medium between those whom we can not meet very often or not in same city.
These habits of ours taking their toll on our health system as we sit for long hours in front of laptop screens. That is affecting our eyes, spinal cord, and digestion system to name a few…..
Although there is no point of doubt that yes technology is a good thing which is making our life easier we get in touch with many friends whom we have left in schools or so, but too much dependency on it at times are leads us many problems.
So I guess this is the time to think that where are we going with this technology thing. We can be MASTER of it or can be SLAVE of it. Choice is ours & time is now…
Make your own decision…………..

After a long time i am back here on blogosphere. I was thinking of giving it some name but was not able to finalize any name for it in long time so zeroed on the name which is very simple yet powerful MY LIFE...MY VIEWS... with simple idea this is my life & what happening around me and how is it affecting me or matter of concern for youth in all aspects or anything i will try to write here. for all those who will read i will need constant support and a genuine feed back so that i can improve my self or we may make some real difference.
