Whether computers are destructive or essential has been a matter of debate these days. In my opinion, while modern technological advancements nowadays can be viewed as an obstruction, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages if managed properly.
Firstly, software technology has a significant role in school and other educational institutions. For example, teachers and professors use websites to educate pupils and students by showing them presentations, videos and images. Such an approach can make a lesson not only educative, but also more engaging and enthusiastic. Furthermore, I believe that it is possible to enhance productivity and thus save time for more vital tasks using automated applications such as AI. For instance, people can rely on software in order for it to help with grouping tasks, setting a reminder for an assessment deadline and etc, hence these implications can be considered more of advancement.
On the other hand, if not controlled in the right way, these advancements in technology can lead to negative consequences. Reduced attention span, which in turn can lead to having low performance in exams, poor memory retention and etc. Not only this, but also human eyesight and posture can be strongly affected if excessive screen time is observed. In terms of automated algorithms, the over-reliance on technology can diminish a person’s critical thinking skills and analytical abilities.
In conclusion, I assert that implication of technology in our everyday life is useful if utilized properly. We can benefit more of machines if we start to address the potential drawbacks.
