Well what’s gonna follow this line is
something serious that we have been too negligent to notice or say too self
centered to be bothered about .
In today’s world we say
technology is the crown of science and I don’t deny it but has technology
really been able to improve lives ? Yes it has, but in gaining something new
we’ve not been keen enough to track what it has taken away from us. Let me
start with these social networking websites. I completely agree that social
media has increased our social quotient but these are shallow waters. Let me
take you the darker depths of it. Say I have a girlfriend and I say that I love
her, she may read the word love but can she read how many feelings are hidden
behind that single word? Can we quantify feelings ? the truth being we do it
and why just because everyone does it. Is it possible for me tell my girlfriend
how much I love her just through this texting? Love is just supposed be read in
the eyes. Say my girlfriend is very beautiful can I even notice her beauty? Is
it possible to console a person emotionally on these sites with images etc? And
the most ridiculous flaw I found in social networking websites is if you update
your status saying you’re sad, people like it!!!! Isn’t it the height of
stupidity? But we are the “move on” generation no matter what happens we move
on. Is this the society we wanna leave for our future inhabitants of this
earth?
We call ourselves the so called
“engineers” with great pride yet we design technologies that harm birds and
various other living organisms and the worst of it we know all this but we
still do it! We create such blunder mistakes and then find some irregularities in
government and we protest! We accept things very easily without even analyzing
them. We demand equality when we ourselves don’t practice it when we claim
ourselves as the superior beings and we encroach everything from the rightful
inheritors of the earth and still ironically wear t shirts saying “Being Human”. Our standard
of life is increasing but, the quality of our life is falling and yet we say
we’re progressing. Man being known for his intelligence isn’t able to conceive
this simple idea and rectify it. I agree we have to earn our daily bread but
its better to be hungry than to snatch
something from others, fill your stomach with it and behave like its completely
right.Morals are falling apart. Isn't it the sign of a tornado that is ripping our society apart ! Cellphones result in insomnia and various other sleep related problems!
Coming to the development of a
child, in this era where children spend most of their time in digital world
which takes them equally far from the real social world. Development of a child
is always incomplete without socialization but that is absolutely missing these
days! We are drenched in Technology for most of the things in our life. Can you
capture the happiest moments of your life in some pics? Superficially yes,but
can an image show a heart blooming like a flower filled with ecstasy? Man has
just started an age where there is quantification of everything .why do we find people updating sad statuses? Its just because they dont have anyone to hold their hand and tell them " Don't worry no matter what comes in your way, we'll face it together".
Why do we depend on technology where it isn’t needed? Instead
of saying hi to my friend on social networks who lives in my neighborhood why
can’t I go to him directly and spend some quality time with him? I am not
someone who opposes technology! Man has made technology not the vice versa .Technology is a boon to humans if its used in the way it is supposed to be! But humanity is just not matured enough to handle such immense power.All i wish
is that we don’t let it become a curse!technology isn't bad but the way man uses it gives an ugly picture of it! Change isn't needed in technology but in our minds and hearts! Its in our hands now as the present
of our nation to decide what’s right and what’s wrong. Its time to redefine
progress and restore the imbalance!WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!SPIRIT!
