Modern Technology : Blessed or Cursed ?

 


In the modern world , we are almost dependent on modern technology. Sometimes these technologies help to make our life easy and comfortable ,sometimes they are cured. The modern generation is still trying to build up the technology to the next level but they still do not know what will happen in the future !!! Modern technology can change the world remarkably by doing the work itself in the replacement of humans. Now, let's come to the point and see is the modern technology is really blessed or cursed.



Modern technology makes the world in our hands. If we think about the past then we will realize that there was no means to communicate with distant people. But In the modern world, modern technology makes it faster and more accessible. By using the internet and smartphones, we not only communicate but also share documents and make video calls with others. Besides, social media helps to know the truth about what is happening in the world. It was really surprising that we can know all of this just sitting in a chair with a smartphone with internet connections. Not only that by using social media we have the access to sharing ideas and experience. The technology gives us the permission to use video conferences. The tools like Zoom and Skype have the access for video conferencing. It was especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. In that situation , technology helps in the study sector, business meetings and so on. Also ,we use social media to help the homeless people by donating money using online apps. However, the rapid development of vaccines , especially the COVID-19 vaccines represent the power of modern technology . Because of modern technology healthcare has also got remarkable advancement. Now people are getting much better treatment and enjoying much better lives. Modern technology also plays a very important role in Education sector. Before the technology students took notes with paper and pencil but now they use different apps in their smartphone or laptop for the notes. Mostly to get better education they depend on online courses, educational apps and ebooks.We can’t forget about the ChatGPT. By using it, everyone can ask any question and get a much better answer within a second. On the other hand, we can not remember all the roads for that we use online maps that help to provide an easy way to reach the destination which also save our time. In our free time, we can download music or movies to watch with our families and friends.



Though modern technology makes our life comfortable, it has significant challenges. Privacy is one of them. Now-a-days, we use different accounts with two step verification where we save our personal information on it. But it was not fully safe because hackers use cheat codes and take away our privacy anytime. Sometimes, the information is commercial but it is shared to other countries that can cause cyber-attacks.Besides, there are different online games for entertainment. But people take it seriously and spend most of the time in online games that hamper their health. According to Google, the online games cause mental health issues, dopamine desensitisation, seeking escapism, social isolation and peer pressure. The daily use of technology is the reason for mental health. On social media platforms, sometimes people share their personal photos and information. Because of that most of the time people face cyberbullying by social sites. Furthermore, children rely on online games that will reduce physical activity and social skills.People use online shopping platforms that make the lifestyle more common. They are almost dependent on online platforms so they can face serious health issues. Additionally, excessive use of screen time means people can not communicate face-to-face. It also affects their personal relationships. 



Now we can explain that modern technology significantly changes our lives by offering benefits in the communication, healthcare, education sector and so on.

Despite all of the benefits, it also comes with challenges such as privacy, mental health,communication skills etc. Modern technology can act as a blessing instead of curse if we use it carefully and responsibly.

Campus Chronicles

Maliha Mahreen Shah Id: 24103077 Section : 29  Campus Chronicles      As I sat in a lonely corner away from the commotion of the cafeteria waiting for my morning coffee to cool, a constant stream of new faces passed by. A group of freshmen laughed without a care in the world while heading to class. A couple bickered, but too far away from me to hear why. A senior walked by readjusting the bag strap on his shoulder, seemingly alone and tired, like me. I was alone waiting for my friends to get to the campus and tired from the all-nighters I had pulled the last few days but why was he tired and alone? Why was the couple bickering? What were the group of friends laughing about? These fleeting questions in my mind passed by as did the countless people infront of me.   cafeteria  As I stood  amidst  a sea of books in the library looking for my next read, I noticed…another student memorized and repeated Economic theories    at the speed of ligh...
