Getting To Know Technology Better

             Technology is seen as a very useful and helpful advancement, but there are also downsides to it. Technology and its advancements have helped a great deal of people like making their lives better. However, technology makes the lives of other people worse. Just like everything else, technology is not perfect.

There are a lot of disadvantages of technology. These include being exposed to radiation more often than people should, becoming lazy because of their dependence and the ever-rising unemployment rate. The suns rays have radiation, but it's low enough to be safe, unlike all the computers and gadgets that emit tons of radiation.

              Technology has been providing humans with almost everything they need, and so they become lazy and dependent. Nowadays, washing machines, dishwashers and automatic garden sprinklers can be found in almost every household. People leave it to the machines to do their work rather than do them themselves. And along with the dependence on technology comes unemployment. Technology has become so advanced that they can replace humans. What once were hundreds of factory workers have become two or three machines.

              There is no doubt that we need technology. People are not living in a society that revolves around technology and they use them day-to-day. Without technology, people could still be lugging around huge rocks to be used for construction.  Technology has improved the means of communication. Before, people had to go through the whole mailing process just to send their messages. The advancement in Technology has fixed that. Nowadays, with the click of a mouse, people can get word to others. Also, don't forget the improved health care and facilities. This has made life so much easier. Technology made it possible for us to experience a better life.

There is no definite answer to whether Technology is good or bad. It may bring harm, but people need it badly, it is too involved in the people's lives and has become very important. Technology is neither good or bad, it is how people use it.
