In the contemporary era, many people argue that, our dependence on advanced technology in areas like communication, medical and transportation has detrimental outcomes. While complete reliance on tech in these fields has many disadvantages, I am of the opinion that, using computers to help in these fields has many benefits if it was managed wisely.
Proponents of the idea that computer technologies should be abandoned or at least limited have several compelling arguments to support their stance. First, the rate of unemployment individuals increased significantly after the incorporation of computer program in these areas. For example, many drivers in the public transportation system found themselves jobless and replaced with auto-driving programs. Moreover, excessive exposure to communication devices like mobile phone has a negative impact on one’s overall well being and particularly his eyes. Finally, our reliance on technology is creating lazy and incompetent versions of us. Many individuals prefer to call another family member to have a conversation with him, although they live in the same house.
On the other hand, despite the fact that tech has many drawbacks, I believe its avails incredibly outweigh its disadvantages. cutting edge technologies in fields like medicine and transport have greatly improved our life quality. With the aid of robots in medicine, mortality rates are reduced significantly, since the error percentage of computers can be negligible compared to human doctors. I watched a TV program about medicine and the doctors discussed the results of performing surgeries with the help of robots. Notably, the number of deaths decreased by 80%. In addition to that, by using driverless cars, people can devote more time to their work and their personal life instead of spending the time driving. Finally, nowadays, thanks to advancements made in communication, we can connect simultaneously with friend and relative at the other half of the world by using video call apps like WhatsApp or Twitter.
In conclusion, Although technology has affected our live negatively in many aspects, I contend that, its benefits are way more, and it made different tasks more efficient to do improving our overall life quality.
