When you heard about innovations and technologies, what comes into your mind?
I'm no forecaster, but you probably think of cell phones, laptops, washing machines, vehicles, and other appliances we used in our home. People ought to become curious and able to seek for more. In fact, the things we have today are the product of continuing study of the people, in which people's dream comes into reality.
All of these have been brought to us by Science. Science played an important role in our daily lives. Although Science had done so many good things to us, it has bad effects too. As new inventions and discoveries continue to expand, people become almost motionless for they pass their workloads to advanced technology.
Walking to turn our television on is not necessary anymore since we have remote controls. Don't want to walk even if its just meters away? No need to worry 'cause we have vehicles such as motors, and cars. With advanced technologies and gadgets, all we need to do is just sit, relax and let them do the work that we must do. But do you know that by getting technologies carry that one's we, people, must do is just like losing a component that makes us humans?
For me, we, people, have given the chance to live in this world to labor. Doing something is the one who gave meaning to our life. Can you imagine this world if there's no human doing something? What do you think will happen?
Our health is also affected because of innovations. Being motionless disabled us to exercise our body. Because of laptops and cellphones, we're exposed to radiation that results of the weakening of our immune system. Everything that we do reflects ourselves. Everything that we do in the present can affect future generations. How can our children live their life if they were the one's who will pay for out carelessness? Can you imagine it?
However, it affects people's communication with each other 'cause they can talk and see each other via technology such as phones and laptops. Yeah, it became easy to socialize because of internet, but have you ever thought that it is better if your frineds will meet up to talk and not just talk on internet? Aside from exposure to radiation and lack of excercise, did you ever think that it hits you differenty if you bond with your friends not facing your screen. I think it is better. When you were in giving up state, did you ever think it is better if you have a shoulder to cry on and not just a screen in front of you. It comforts you differently!
Henceforth, it also created an invisible wall between people for they spend most of their time to gadgets. Can you spend your time with your family without using and minding for gadgets even for a day? Have you ever noticed that gadgets pull away people from each other? You are a student and have a topic that you didn't understand, to whom do you go? Is it to your mother? Older sibling? Father? Either way, I'm sure that more than 50% of people in this world will go to the internet sites. I remembered one time when I asked my mother about a certain topic that I can't understand. Do you know what she said? She said that "just search it on the internet". The time will come and you didn't notice that you were slowly getting away from each other, not physically, but by heart. If ever that time comes, what will you do? Are you ready for it?
Therefore, let us not got drowned on advanced technology. Even though that it brought us at comfort and easiness in life, we must not lose ourselves because of the new inventions and innovations. Don't let technology take over us, we, people must the one to control them!
