Some people will say that, “Modern digital technology
is a blessing and the only way forward”. But is this true? Is modern digital
technology the only way forward? In this article we will look closer into what
modern technology means to us and what the consequences of it is or will be.
Firstly, the technology can be very helpful and it can
be used as a tool. If you are going to take the bus for example, you can check
on the internet the times it drives by your nearest bus stop. Or if you’re
going to make dinner, you can search for different recipes. That is much easier
than checking it in a book. When you have to buy a new phone, there is probably
thousands of websites where you can see recommendations about the product.
Secondly, the technology is the future. In the past
hundred years, the technology has come so far and can be used to so much
things. Like the cars for example, the development has been amazing. From the
old cars that did not have much equipment to the cars they produce today with
all the new technology. Think about how the cars will look in another hundred
years.
However, there are not just good things about the
modern technology. While some people use the technology as a helpful tool, some
others just sit home and play videogames all day. This can lead to lots of
problems. Like getting addicted. Many peoples who has been sitting home and
played games, got addicted. Some peoples even stopped going out and became
unsocial. Not to mention all the health problems that have showed up. Many
people are getting something called “tablet neck” because of hours spent using
their phones or tablets/iPad’s.
So maybe the modern technology is the only way forward,
but like almost everything else, it comes with and without benefits. Therefore,
we have to be careful and use the technology wisely. Because the development
will probably keep going on.
