Technology and its Impacts
Anything people interact with may affect them, and this includes people, ideas, events, food, technology and so on. The effects can be subtle or dramatic and life-changing. Technology in and of itself has no effect, however, it can be viewed as a collection of props. Which prop people choose and how they use it will determine its effect on their daily lives, it is left upon People’s discretion either they choose to use technology wisely or poorly. Technology affects people negatively when they do not use it properly. As far as the positive impacts of technology are concerned, it paly a great role in fostering and building a growth mindset, creating a culture of risk-taking, and enhances the chances of long-term success CITATION Dwe10 \l 1033 (Dweck). Technology, despite its advantages also comes with a wide variety of liability. Emission of unwanted toxic chemicals and gasses to the environment, thus interfering with the natural bio-life components. Gasses emitted from factories and motor vehicles tamper with the ozone layer, in its excessive emission human race is at a danger of receiving direct ultra-violet rays that successfully come along with its catastrophes, skin cancer would prevail in this.
In wars, technology is greatly used to make the most powerful weapons and of massive destruction, for instance, the historic atom bomb of Hiroshima, after it exploded the entire region was faced with a great catastrophe, the radioactive emission, loss of lives and the destruction of properties. In terms of financial losses, the use of search engines e.g. Google has greatly and negatively reduced people’s ability to think, to analyze and acquire information. The spoon-fed information provided with such search engines incorporates an enormous amount of data. Waste of time is another negative aspect of technology, social media applications i.e., Facebook and WhatsApp have hailed in buying individuals attention and time thus increasing the time spent to access and view its contents. With such a routine, one develops a lazy habit that eventually results in nonproductivity.
