Some people believe that technology has made our lives much easier while others argue that we have become overly dependent on it, thus hindering our ability to solve problems efficiently.
Technology has made our lives considerably easier. Internet, for example, has brought about a revolution in the way people communicate and work. People can work remotely for international companies. This adds to convenience as people do not have to travel abroad in search of a well-paying job, saving time and physical effort. Remote work diminishes the work visa requirement, which is particularly beneficial if one finds it challenging to find the right job in their own country.
However, it has also become a source of concern for many people now. People in the past were used to performing difficult tasks manually. Ever since the technology was introduced, people have become less capable of dealing with everyday problems independently. Although demanding tasks can now be completed efficiently, without requiring much human intervention, it has encouraged humans to physically relax and not think critically . As long as a human body is working, it’s physiology and anatomy are perfect.
From my perspective, technology should continue to be developed but its unfair use, i.e. being totally dependent on it, can be disadvantageous. Therefore, it should be tailored to the needs of humans while still encouraging them to think critically and be active physically.
