Technology – a Boon or Bane

It would be ungrateful on our part not to recognize how immense the boons are which modern technology has given to mankind. Can we think of aliment without computers, mobile phones, electricity or modern methods of publishing? We all k right off the impact of technology in medical science & education system on us. There was a time when diseases such as malaria, influenza & TB were considered to be incurable. But now even some forms of Cancer are curable. totally this would not moderate been possible if it were not for the progress made by medical science.The fact is technology has contributed to significant improvements in other areas like communication, travel, clement living, global warming, nuclear stockpiles etc. The greatest technical inventions are those which have affected the larger mass of people. The Internet, mobile phone, automobile, rail travel, CT scan have made significant difference to peoples lives. Technology has made our life easy, comfortable, simple and luxu rious. Technology is supporting human so much that now a person can work from his home. It has helped a lot in uniting people.In fact with the help of internet the world has just dark in to a global village. Yes, technology & scientific invention has its disadvantages also. A car is a wonderful gift of technology to mankind. But a intoxicating driver is capable of using it as a weapon of destruction. Television is a mean of instruction & entertaining people but it is often apply as a channel false propaganda. Atomic energy provides a number of wonderful uses to mankind. But again, certain destructive minds plan to use atomic energy for destructive purpose.Television & Computer Technology makes one lazy and obese. We are unable to walk even for a short distance, because we became so utilise to taking out our car even for a short distance. But I feel that technology is more boon than bane. Its up to us to decide whether we can survive without modern technology or continue to use it by paying a heavy price for it. When we say technology is dominating our life, in a sense we are allowing it to do so. As a human being we have a brain, to decide whats wrong, whats not, when to stop, and when to get off.
