Is Technology making us weak?
Technology has made us mentally, socially, and physically weak.
This is not to say that good thing hasn't come out of technology.
Let's look at what we have gained.
Improved Networking,
Higher Collaborations,
Easy & Faster learning,
Cost Efficiency,
Easy access to information,
Time-Saving,
Ease of Mobility,
Faster Communication,
more comfort ….
But we have to be more cautious of how we use it.
How often are you and your colleagues are in the same room, using email to communicate instead of discussing directly or sharing Instagram photos with family….
If not cautious, we should be more responsible because taking a selfie with someone in distress, or watching WhatApp while walking on road with an open sinkhole…. Its not worth your life or anyone else's.
Sometimes smart use of technology will make us smarter while its careless use will definitely make us lazy. Let's see how-
· If you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is check your phone for messages and emails, my friend it's making you lazy.
· If you never leave your phone even when you go out for a walk and keep checking WhatsApp and Insta on the way, it's making you lazy.
· If you are in a meeting and getting bored throughout the presentation, you thought to pick up your phone and messaging someone, it's harming you.
· If you are out during sunset and instead of just enjoying the scene you are busy recording the sunset so that you can share it as your WhatsApp and Insta story, technology is making you an idiot.
· If you want to talk to someone but instead of making a call you just send a message to the person, it's making you lazy.
· If you are not willing to learn how to win over challenges and instead you open your phone to watch pxxx/ dark web or any other dangerous site, my friend, technology is lethal to you.
As humans, we are capable of learning so many things but are quick to let someone or something else take over responsibilities and blame it on the other.
So let there be a call to action that we become more aware and take greater responsibility on how we use these devices.
