The twenty-first century has brought a revolution in the field of technology. Every day thousands of inventions take birth in this field. It has completely enhanced the fields like medical and health sciences, agricultural sciences, social sciences, military usage and many other fields.
According to millennials, technology is leading this ‘backward’ world to a modern world, but indeed we are wrong. Albert Einstein had once said “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” and that is happening today. Technology has completely brainwashed us. It is taking over humanity.
We live in the era where greed has poisoned the human soul, where money has more power than love and brotherhood, where fake love happens on social sites, where people do not give time to their families but are busy with these gadgets.
In the name of trends, people are eager to do anything. We are losing our faith in religion. It has completely spoiled our society, especially our teenagers and kids. Millions of people have died because of the weapons of technology. It has not only affected humans but also our overall environment. The friends gather not for discussion but everyone gets busy with his cellphone and how can someone eat a meal without posting its pics all over social media? Might be we are independent and live in an independent country but indeed we are slaves to the technology.
According to Sir Stephen Hawking, “Technology would be responsible for the destruction of the human race”. Technology has replaced human interaction to a great extend. Many people waste their time by spending hours on computers games and cybercrimes are also increasing with the rise in the development of technology.
There is also a connection between excessive internet use and depression, drug abuse, isolation, and suicides. According to the latest research “The more you use social sites, the more you become unhappy because you begin to think that people are living a better life than me”
