Note: Technology can neither effects us positively or negatively.
POSITIVE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON OUR LIVES
The importance of technology cannot be neglected in our life. With the help of the internet we are able to learn new things and study online in different institutions without even knowing what the institution looks like, with the help of mobile technology we are able to speak and chat with our loved one’s (friends and relatives) who are living very far from us. In these modern days, we have the gas cooker, electric blender, microwave and many other things which we use for fast and easy cooking due to improvement in technology. Aviation technology has also helped us to reach distant places within hours which took the ancient people many years to reach. With the help of social networking like (Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Email) etc., we are able to find our childhood friends and relatives etc. With Information Technology, we are able to share information and important documents.
Churches today make use of keyboard; computerized musical instruments, projector, bible and other technology have helped to increase the Joy and the ways of worshipping God unlike that of the olden days.
The use of CCTV Cameras as modern technology has helped to minimize the high rate of criminal activities.
NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON OUR LIFE
In as much as technology has contributed greatly in our everyday activities, it also has bad or ugly side effect; because of technology today, parents find it difficult to spent time and communicate very well with their children. They are always busy even at home with their Laptops, IPod, Ipad, Mobile Phones, Tablets, etc.
Technology also contributes to high level of broken homes
(divorce) because some couples enjoy the company of their electronic gadgets more than that of their spouse. They are so comfortable operating their phones, laptops etc, without speaking to each other even when they are together in the room.
It has also made us not to be confident in ourselves because the use of Mobile phones enables us to send text and call to ask for help concerning things we should do by ourselves.
The use of aviation technology such as auto-mobile, Airplane etc. have lead to high rate of premature death and pollution which is not hygienic to man and was not encountered during the time of old.
The use of gas cooker has also contributed to burning of different homes which lead to death of many innocent people in the house.
