Technology, a Blessing OR a Curse?

By Usama Fayyaz → 18 June 2015

As this is the first post of my blog so I would be writing this post regarding our blog niche that is 'Technology'.
It's 21st century and almost everything in this era utilizes technology. Technology gadgets are used in banks, hotels, and in shops too. Even every person today owns any sort of technology gadgets i.e. smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC etc and these gadgets help the people in their daily lives. With the passage of time the technology is stepping towards those gadgets and technical stuff which was considered impossible in past but now that impossible thought is converting into possibilities and helping the world to move towards modernization.

Technology a Blessing

This modernization in the world of technology have made the life easy for people. Technology has made life easier For example: As internet is among the technology inventions so its biggest use is communication and now people can communicate with their relatives from any place in the world. Similarly businessmen can communicate with clients via video chat, audio chat, e-mail etc and these service can be availed through internet using several applications i.e. Skype, G-Mail, Line etc. People can access these services for just paying for their internet connection and nothing more as these applications (G-Mail, Skype, Line etc) are free to use. Moreover technology has made the world of information easily accessible to people. People can search for information through smartphones, laptops, PC etc and utilizing search engines i.e. Google, Bing etc. Technology even helps students to a great extent as many schools, colleges, universities, now a days provide E-Books that students can study , and these E-Books doesn't occupy any space also light weight as students are not required to carry bulky books but can save these E-Books in their Smartphones, Laptops or Pc and can view it any time they want to study and can also carry it anywhere.Technology has also made E-Learning easier as a teacher deliver lectures Via video chat and students can study even at home without any need to go to educational institutions. Further on, many portals i.e YouTube, Khan Academy, W3 School etc are source of information and learning as one can learn programming, cooking, tips, tricks and other stuff without spending a single penny. These Features of Technology make it a blessing for us.

Technology a Curse

But as everything in this world have negative and positive aspects, Similarly technology also have a negative aspect along with the positive ones. Technology Stuff i.e. smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC etc. were invented for the easiness and benefit of humans but it's very sad to say that we humans are misusing this technology and converting this blessing into a curse! Specially youth of today is following the wrong path and misusing this blessing. Technology was intended to be used for educational and learning purpose but today it is not used the way it was intended but it is used to commit crimes (Cybercrime) i.e. Hacking websites, stealing information, looting people through various methods etc. Moreover specially youth of today has forgot the real reason behind the invention of technology gadgets and stuff and they are using the technology items to access adult sites and content which is not suitable for them and this is distracting them from their aims and it is resulting in their dark futures. People also use these gadgets to play games all of the time which weakens their eyesight and constant use of technology gadgets also makes a person lazy. Further on, as students use E-books to study so it is again harmful to health as it weakens eyesight, makes a person lazy and the trend of reading books is also vanishing from our society due to use of E-Books. Use of E-mail to communicate is also leading to death of letter writing and posting it through mails and is becoming threat to our traditional ways of living. And due to these reasons the technology which is a blessing is being converted into a curse and we all are responsible for this.

Final Words from Author:

In my opinion technology is really a blessing for us if we use it in a right way. As technology makes our lives easier so, we should keep the negative aspect in mind while using the technology items and facilities. And definitely using technology in a limited way for educational and learning purpose makes it really a great blessing for us.
