Our daily lives have been affected in different areas with the globalization and technological advances. With the technological progress, we have now better equipment, luxuries and comfort that were not present before. In each commercial sector of a country, we can see the impact of the new technologies. By looking at the benefits of technology, many industries are coming up with new features and equipment to meet and suit the needs of people.

Positive impacts :

  • Easier communication

Technology has improved the communication between people. With the advent of mobile technology, conversation with friends and family members no matter how far they are has become easy.

With the evolution of social networking websites, locating childhood friends or family has become simpler. Technology has enabled people to share information across any place in the world within a fraction of a second.

It also enables people to pursue professional courses from recognized institutions that are delivered by renowned lecturers at the comfort of the house.

  • Better employment options

With technological developments, working from home has become easy. People who can’t go outside due to some reason can easily work from their home. Technology has provided new employment opportunities to housewives and students. All they need is a computer and internet connection.

Negative impacts :

  • Online games addiction

Due to the popularity and easy access to several online games, it has been observed that children no more like to indulge in outdoor activities. By spending lots of time on games harms their eyes and damages their health. It reduces their concentration and productivity too.

  • Cut off from social life

Digital communication has been replaced by real conversation because more and more people use excessively their mobiles or laptop. It is adversely impacting the development of physical, mental and emotional development of a person.

  • Deteriorates relationship

Due to overindulgence in technological gadgets, it has been seen that people are not able to give quality time to their family members and near ones. This has created distance between them and is ultimately destroying relationships.

  • New technologies dependence

Now with excessive new technologies and new equipment that facilitate our daily lives, we tend to be dependent of it. For example when there is a dysfunction we are “lost” or we tend to be more lazy because now we can have everything with one click.

 

The good or bad impacts of technology depend on how we use it. It is our duty to educate young generation and adults to encourage its healthy use and abstain from its addiction.
