Are we becoming technological zombies?

in #technology • 8 years ago

The end of the days are here. Throughout human history, we've always looked for better ways to meet and satisfy our needs needs. Our society is obsessed with technology. Its almost as if we've become slaves to the screen. The truth is, most of us can't last  even a day without using technology. We have phones, laptops, iPads, TV's  and many of us couldn't bear the thought of going without Wi-Fi. Many will try to deny it, but its the cold hard truth.

    I think technology is somewhat of a double edged sword. Certain applications can be addictive, whether useful or detrimental to our personal growth, yet that would seem to apply to every aspect in life. Obsession and lack of self control seem to be the fall of many of us. User discretion and balance of use is required of any situation in life, yet with the advent of technology we continue to have greater, expedient ways to reach our goals or destroy them.

            I disagree that technology does harm because all depends upon people attitude towards innovations. Besides, the direction of technology development changes all the time due to a man's demands. In fact it is the matter of evolution that is developing by spiral. After the
            overuse of technological innovations, at the moment when most of people will understands that they degrade becouse of machine, there will be new age when people begin to evolve themselves, develop own body, brains and capabilities. But without reaching 'technological bottom' we will never understand the importance of this matter.

              I believe you are absolutely correct . It all depends on people's attitudes towards the innovations. We as humans have the choice to turn them off or turn them on, use them or quit using them. It all depends on how strong willed we are as well as priorities in life.
