Technology

Does Technology make our life easer? Or it just makes it worse. Nowadays technology served us in the best ways when it comes to communication. It has made it very easy that with a click with your finger tips you can be talking to someone on the other side of the planet. However this limited face to face contact with people. These have a great effect on our society.

Some people believe that technology have made it easier for us to communicate, for example people how are away from their families can benefit very much from such technology by means of communication. Another one is that companies businesses and government departments can benefit from this by reducing the time spend in processing papers by communicating with other departments.

Although technology has served us well in providing easier communication methods it has a very negative impact in our society. For one thing, people who communicate using computers get drifted away from the real word by sitting behind those screens. Sometimes they retain a mailed hostile attitude towards others in the society while some others become isolated from others. Another reason is that those people would not make contributions to develop their society. One last reason, is that those people can suffer from diseases such as sight problems and obesity problems due to sitting for long times behind the screens.

All in all, technology is a substance that we control to suites us best, it does not control us. Once people start understanding this, we will not have problems related to technology development.
