The advancement of technology generally evokes a range of emotions

in people from different walks of life. People all around the world utilize it to

its optimum potential. There are even products which can be obtained

regardless of your social status, something that is deemed “common” for

anyone to have in the present. One example of which is our cellphones.

Cellphones are the main tools in bridging the gap of communication. It

evolved in a way that it can provide information and entertainment.

Students like use the said gadgets in researching, gaming and

communicating with our loved ones. Yet everything comes with a price. Little

do we know that we are slowly being consumed, especially if we don’t

handle these things responsibly. We get distracted and fail to do certain

obligations. Some won’t value a person’s physical presence. Others are

deprived from reality to live virtually. This may not happen to you, but it

already happened to some.

This is the whole point of technology. It creates an appetite for

immortality on the one hand. It threatens universal extinction on the other.

Cellphones are one of the greatest contributions of technology. But we

cannot eradicate the risks, and all we can do is to minimize it by exercising

self-management. One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men but no

machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. Once again, good

afternoon.
