Are people becoming technological zombies?

Technology has become a very helpful for humanity, we have made and used technology as a

tool to help our lives in every part of life. From tools for communication to information seeking,

we use technology to make our lives easier. But now, humanity is starting to become addicted

to technology, we slowly begin to rely on all activities of our lives to technology and if we

continue this way it can be predicted that humanity will become lazy and that it worsens the

life of mankind, that's why nowadays the term of zombie technology appears to people who

are addicted to technological sophistication. There are many factors why we are now becoming

to be zombies on technology, but from many factors we will look at three major factors that

cause this which are our work now depends on technology, all information now is accessed

through technology, and we will be confused without technology.

1. Our work now depends on technology, true and that cannot be dammed anymore

because today's technology takes over everything including our daily work, for example

if we used to typewriters to finish papers then we now use laptops and don't waste a lot

of paper just to finish one paper we are working on . Everything is stored in the memory

on the laptop and we can open and change it whenever and wherever we want.
 2. All information now is accessed through technology, yes everything we need can easily

we get starts from the latest news and even the old news that we can search for from

technology via the internet, we can get all information with just one touch via Google

then the information we want can be obtained in just seconds, and even we don’t need

a newspaper to get newest info.

3. We will be confused without technology, without today's technology like the internet

or TV, we will not know what is happening in other parts of the world. The information

conveyed will be slow to get to our eyes and ears, and life now will be very different if

we live without technology.

Although there are so many benefits that we can get from the development of technology, we

cannot deny that technology has made our lives more lazy than before. If we keep continue

doing activities in such way, then everything will be chaotic when suddenly someday the

technology we use every day is lost or gone. But it seems that the problem is natural and not

too big because technology has truly changed all lines in our lives as humans.

Apart from the benefits we get from technology to our lives, we certainly need to be better

prepared for changes that are far from technology to our lives. If we are ready for change, we

will be easier in living together with advanced technology. Human life today is far smarter and

also easier than previous years and times.
