Impingement of technology

Google

Ask the younger generation today, “if they’d rather starve or go on a day without gadgets?”
This, of course is a rhetoric question, because everyone knows the answer. Of course they
will choose to starve. Why blame just the younger generation! Their parents, uncle, aunt,
and sometimes even their grandparents are the ones to be blamed for getting addicted to
today’s modern technology and unconsciously teaching their children the same.

Shout at others without respect, your child will do the same. Be affectionate to everyone,
your child will do the same. Eat nastily, your child will eat the same way. Be at the mercy
of technology always, your child will do the same. Now, who is to be blamed? The younge
r ones or the elder ones? I am not a gadget person and so I can boldly go on with this topic.

All these are mistakes that are unconsciously committed and then there’s something where
people are forced to be the slaves of technology at their work place. Today, there’s no work
that could be done without the use of technology. Not just at work, even for studying at
school level, children are getting used to using gadgets. When I did my schooling, we used
to listen carefully if the teacher informed anything, so that we don’t end up in trouble not
knowing what the teacher told. Nowadays, students are like, “why fear when there’s
WhatsApp!” Even we do the same in our college. This might sound simple. But, thinking
that we are however going to receive the information, the listening and grasping capacities
are being squandered from today’s students. Moreover, the concept of reading books are
completely out of the box, because Google is there for you, and if you have to see which
one’s conducive, of course google will win the poll. I’m a literature student and I know the
importance of reading. But, I also see students choosing not to read the books and
preferring the easy way of using google. We would have thought all these as our simple
daily routine. But it’s not. This is how we are using technology in a negative way thinking
that we are developing ourselves.

Of course there highly productive sides of technology as well. But the problem is that people
tend to depend on technology to an extent where they couldn’t expose their inner skills at
times, ignoring the positive side of the technology. All these could be merely accepted because
people do it unconsciously. But there are some cheap hearted animals who use technology
against girls and women through this cyber crime and stuff, which is is so inhumane. Crimes
like these are being done at the cost of many precious lives. But these kind of offences have
been taken care of and are under control during recent times. The other worst part is children
getting addicted to games. With such games, they start to create their own small world.
The house that filled with lots and lots of gadgets and technologies, is no more happy.
Kids are the happiness of the house and they are silenced by this technology dependency.
To what extent children are addicted to mobile phones can be obviously seen with an
example, where the parents of the country have had sleepless nights because of a
catastrophic mobile game called “blue whale”. Everyone knows the aftermath of the game.
These are such instances where we are forced to admit the evil side of technology, though
it has even more better side.
It’s all about what we decide to choose, when we have an ocean of good and bad gelled
together.
