ICT blessing or curse?

I 
 

The following study case is related to the use of cellphones,

computers,internet and other devices. It goes for the users of this
technology that have become a part of modern-day life. It is for
those who are technology ³addicts´, who have a compulsion to be
connected to the web, to know what is going on, and let them know
how can use technology in a balanced, wise and a productive way.
Moreover, this case can be used to consider the products of the
modern technology are blessing that enables us to be in touch with
other rather than be a victim of an epidemic of shyness caused for
the use of email, the messaging.

The use of technology is causing people to become more

insular, people email or text oneanother rather than talk face to face.
According to psychologist and researcher Robin Abraham, shyness
in social situations, now affects about half the populations, which
represents a significanttrice over past levels. ³Technology is
enabling us to different situations´, says Abraham.

The excessive and improper use of technologyis harmful

mentally and physically, and can convey to some sign of addictions.
If being connected takes up more and more of your time and it
becomes the preferred activity in your life to the exclusion of
everything else, that¶s the surest warning signed that something is
not quite right.

Because a growing numbers of children use cellphones and

computers, as well as entertainment media, it is necessary to teach
them to use these devices wisely and responsibly by setting
appropriates limits on child¶s use of technology, and also explaining
the dangers that inflict it. If many children insulate themselves for
hours on end watching TV, surfing the internet, and playing
computers games, why no consider establishing technology free
times and zones in the home? Use technologyconsiderately, must
be the main goal of people in order to overcome the fact that many
gadgets even being designed to connect people may put emotional
distance between them.
