Technology is a surprising thing. It brings you great gifts with
one hand and stabs you in the back with the other . You
don’t have to go around making trouble for yourself –
technology does it for you .
Right from the plastic toy to plastic surgery , and from a
common pin to rocket , we have been taking the help of
technology . Youngsters think why to play football , or rugby
outside , when there’s a play station at home . What’s the need to
write? Let us text on the mobile/ computer / laptop. Why to read
books? There are audio books available on internet. Doctors can’t
tell what is wrong with you without X – rays , CT scan , etc.
I’m compelled to fear that technology will be used to
promote the power of dominant group rather than to make
them happy . Men has a moral sense which animals don’t
have but technology
makes men indifferent to all the higher
things of life . Technological progress has merely provided us
with more efficient means for going backwards . Humanity is
acquiring all the right technology for all wrong reasons . I like
my new smart phone , my laptop just works smoothly and my
calculator is ideal but I miss the god given intelligence being put to
work.
