“Dependence on Technology: A Bane or a Boon?

It is true that people have become overly dependent on technology. This era relies mostly on
technology in order to cope up with the global flow of economy. Being able to invest on global economy
through the help of technology has been a great help for the country. Considering its downfall, the
positive contributions of technology has surpassed the negativity due to a very wide opportunity that
technology has empowered. However, though people rely on it, it provides convenience after all.
Technology has had a huge impact on every facet of society. It's expanded the ways in which we
are entertained, has changed how we communicate, has increased our ability to travel, and has even
impacted social change within our societies. The more technology has advanced, the greater the impact it
has had on society as a whole. Just take a look at where society was in the 19th century versus where it
went in the 20th century following the rapid advancement of technology.
Before technology changed everything, entertainment was limited to things like going out to the
circus, to a play, or to dinner with friends. Then the cinema was invented and people went to the movies.
Once the TV was introduced, people no longer had to leave their homes to be entertained. The ability to
consume entertainment became more and more convenient as a result of technology. These days, there are
more entertainment options at home than there are outside the home--you can stream tens of thousands of
movies, shows, sports games, and more from your TV or computer.
Apart from all of the flaws of technology, there great opportunities that are provided by it. The
most important advantage of technology is that it saves time. As we are ready to complete a task in a
lesser time, we will utilize the time saved for other important activities. With the assistance of technology,
tons of activities like cooking, cleaning, working, commuting are accomplished faster.
Overall, even though there are many lapses in the field of technology advancements, we cannot
deny the fact that it helped our lives in numerous ways. As the advancements of technology is constantly
striving, our dependence is also proportional. Technology is not the problem, but the people’s discipline
surely is.
