In this generation, technology is present in the lives of every human being. Technology was introduced nearly two million years ago when stone tools were invented. Technology was upgraded time and again from telephones to iphones, stoves to ovens. Like this, technology has provided many benefits and also taught many things which we were unknown about. Due to which we are able to finish our work easily and faster. It has also saved the lives of many people around the world. It has also helped to build and strengthen the relationships. With dependence on technology, the answers cannot be as straightforward as it seems. So we have to look at both sides of the coin then draw a conclusion.
People nowadays are used to spending most of their time virtually. The people who spend most of their time in the virtual world have a different mindset. Like they want everything to be perfect as they saw on social media or somewhere else. The belief that they grow in themselves regarding perfect life, which leads them to live far from the real world. They expect everything to be perfect the way they see it in social media and movies. Students also spend most of the time inside their room only. They don’t really care about situations happening outside. They take excuses from online classes and play their video games or pc games etc. They’re slowly avoiding spending time with their friends and families too. They create their own life with their mobile phones or PC in that virtual space. These technologies somehow affected people these days. They just use their mobile phone all day nonstop, mainly children. Many parents are also used to spending their time on mobile phones using social media and all. They’re also getting addicted and forgetting their responsibilities.
Talking about how technology connects people. Technology means not only where we can find the words' meaning and recipe or how we can solve our problems faster and easier. But it is also where we can interact with different people around the world. We can build our relationship with other people with the help of various social media. Likewise, technology helps us in many ways. It helps us to stay connected with our relatives and friends during the pandemic. And the big thing about technology is even when we were far from our relatives and friends, social media helped us to interact with them. During the pandemic, our schools were all closed and because of technology we were able to study and run the online classes. We didn’t know how to attend the online classes and how to submit our assignments but technology taught us how to. We were taught how to use docs, classroom, gmail, etc. We get to learn many things which we were unknown about and that was only because of technology. Technology made our lives easier and it was entertaining as well.
