A blessing :

Using technology in communication has become a necessity,

it’s now part of our lives. People
communicate through emails, faxes,
Mobile phones, texting services, video
conferences, video chat rooms and
social media channels.. Technology
has transformed the way we
communicate, it has created a big impact in how businesses
interact with consumers and how friends interact with each
other.

Medicine

Many technological
solutions have been
proposed for several
problems that the
world of medicine was
facing, and these have
greatly changed and improved the medicine industry. There
have been many breakthroughs in data collection, treatments,
research, and medical devices such as hearing aids which have
had a huge impact on the World of Medicine. Today, thanks to
technology, there is better and more accessible treatment for a
wide variety of diseases, better and more efficient care for the
sick, and better health careand disease control.

A curse :
On the other hand, the
evolution of modern
technology has
disadvantages, for example,
dependence on new
technology. Man no longer
needs to think. Even if the calculator is a good invention, man
no longer makes mental calculation and no longer works his
memory. The decline of
human capital implies an
increase in unemployment. In
some areas, devices can
replace the human mind.

The use of technology

certainly needs rule and
new laws. For example
internet use is an individual
freedom. However, the invention of the atomic bomb cannot
be an individual freedom. In fact, regulations are difficult to
implement when these technologies are introduced – such as
regulation surrounding the impending arrival of autonomous
vehicles.

Finally, as most technological discoveries aim to reduce human

effort, it would imply that more work is done by machines. This
equates to less work for people: the human is becoming ever
so obsolete by the day, as processes become automated and
jobs are made redundant.

The negative impact of the influence of technology on children

should not be underestimated as well.

A blessing or a curse ?

revolutionize our lives, but
memory, tradition and myth
