Without
a doubt, technology was made to make people´s life way easier and simple. To be
able to be in contact with persons in another part of the work, avoid going to
the office because you are able to work from home and get all the information
you need and even more by just giving a click, are just some of the advantages
technology has provided to our everyday life. However, not every aspect of this
powerful tool is positive. There are some "cons" we must take into
consideration about technology.
In
society, for example, technological advances could break physical contact with
people around us and natural environment, For example, some people would prefer
to stay home watching T.V or may be chatting with some friends instead of going
out and hang for a while. On the other hand, in the environmental aspect, the
development of technology usually represents the creation of new devices, which
also increase the consumption of objects that are not always significant to us.
Having the latest model of an specific smart phone, for example, is useless and
this increases the technological waste in our societies.
I
personally believe technology makes our life style much more simple then it was
before. However, sometimes we have to really think about if all those objects
we are consuming and worth at all. We must also remember the more we have does
not mean we are better than other people. It is also important to consider that
electronic waste has a dramatic impact in environment, and must also take this
into consideration when buying something new.
