Today’s world is consumed by technology whether it is through PCs or mobiles. Technology can be used to our own advantage or it can be used to our disadvantage. There was a time when the technology that exists today did not exist at all. People went through life without youtube, social media, video calls, or even just simple calls. School or college projects had to be done without the help of the internet and school knowledge or book contexts had to be used. But as most people of those times say, they were simpler times even though most of us believe that technology has made our lives easier in many aspects.
Most people are used to the usage of technology and so without it, it may lead them to boredom. There is nothing wrong with using technology. It was initially made to help us and facilitate us but now we use it for other things as more standard of particular technological products have been made for that purpose of having fun. But when it is used unnecessary or excessively that is when things can get too unhealthy. A lot of the bad usage has led to many inappropriate moments to take place in the world as it stems from watching particular videos from technological advancements.
The world would not survive without technology, as the whole world runs on it. Without technology in this world, we would not have scientific progress nor we would we have access to ebooks or even online learning. It has a broad spectrum of advantages. There is a great amount of knowledge that we may learn from searching the web and it also helps us to contact loved ones across the world. Technological objects also include daily household items like refrigerators.
But there is also a side to the opposite which is what if today’s world was without technology. Firstly, people would be more social physically and they would also spend more of their time outside and make better use of their time as this generation tends to use most of its time on social media and with their faces glued to the screens. It makes people procrastinate and less focused, at times also lazy. The internet can also lead to terrible mental health due to social media. And it has lead to a lot of competing. What technology was initially made for, the reason for it, has been abandoned.
Today's world would not be able to survive without technology. It runs most of our work, it keeps us entertained, it helps us connect with our friends when we don’t see them. It can sometimes be used by others to build their own personality. Most of us use technology for our day to day work and other requirements. We mostly seek our answers from the internet too. It makes things easier for us and it also helps to meet new people. Some may use tv shows that they watch as their coping mechanism from the world which they can easily get off of Netflix or music apps like Spotify and SoundCloud.
