Mimeme:Technology



Technological advances are meant to ease human's life and signify evolution overages. However, it serves both goodness and omens in the hand of a human. Many perceive technology is a blessed to empower their life, upgrade their individuality and assist in their performances. However, no one can deny the reality that it is a curse too which perished human physically and mentally, fed misconceptions and totally wastes of time. We are responsible to scrutinize both to reach a logical answer so we shall review on how technology mastered human' life:
  • enhances quick yet effective communication systems
  • shorten the time of a particular work, hence increases productivity
  • enable us to multitask without hassles
  • transportation system operates with many conveniences
  • saves nature from extinction such as paperless activity
  • extract needed information with a single click
  • upgrade knowledge to aid personal development
  • lever human to revolutionary
In contrast, technological evolution may flip into the cursing pages too, sadly this gives little or no realization to the human. So their action to rectify remain gloomy. Some listed below might be in direct opposition to the above-mentioned blessings which described in scenarios:
  • face to face communication lost a long time ago during a meetup, phones held over hands does the communication where silence remains among attendees
  • a written document for medical records are still employed in several hospitals but the staffs have lost the talent of writing thus taking a considerable long time to accomplish those tasks
  • awareness between confidence and overconfidence leads one to get committed for several jobs but loses the capacity to perform
  • elderlies or illiterate people find difficult to access bus without Touch n Go card
  • destruct forest to build highrise signal towers
  • an irresponsible parent who forgotten to "child lock" the phone beforehand it to their child causes their children to watch porn videos
  • a woman committed suicide by being too sensitive over the nasty comments from her social media friends
  • even donations to orphans are snapped and shared in social media to reach for cheap publicity
If this is how technology nurtures human society than how would you say it as a blessing? However, a few steps can be taken to steadfast the corruptions in technology advancement as follows:
  • respect and offer your communication skill in a meetup, gatherings or even when sitting with your family
  • balance your work well by not depending on systems too much which may face interruption  
  • be realistic and perform according to your capabilities
  • set up an alternative plan for those who are less versed with technological advancement
  • save nature as much as possible by avoiding forest destruction especially in a dense habitats forest
  • assist your kids to use the internet with your supervision or make a necessary arrangement if it is needed to accomplish their school matters
  • uses social media moderately and never reveal your personal matter extensively, being too sensitive might end up with catastrophic consequences
  • do not publicize your life and adapt ethics and morality learned during school life to carry your life as it supposed to be
My apologies if this article has disturbed or caused discomfort to some of the readers but I find conveying this message over this manner helps one to understand or at least think about. I'm not against technological advancement but emphasizing people to use them appropriately so it always remains as a Blessing rather than a Curse!
