Technology is a boon as well as a curse for us.

Greetings friends!


We are living in a world where humans have achieved a great technological advancement in various fields and electronics is one of the top thing which is progressing leaps and bounds. We have progressed in electronics in such an extent that we can't imagine a world where we can live without using our smartphones, computers, television etc. This is a great thing as it has made it possible to get lots of information without delay and we can communicate with others sitting thousands of kilometers away in real time.

Electronics instruments, gadgets and equipment have made it possible for us not only to get information but also to monitor various parameters related to life like heart beat monitoring, blood pressure monitoring and calorie burning etc. We transfer and receive money through smartphone. Out smartphone have become a source of communication and it works as calculator, computer, television, compass, GPS, wallet, game controller etc. So it is almost impossible for a modern human to live without his or her gadgets.

But, everything comes with a price. Electronic equipment emit radiation which is harmful for us. They also make us slave of technology. We can't live without them. Watching videos on phone and using social media are addictive. They are making us sick. Apart from it, our work stops when any of our equipment do not work properly. This happened with me when my computer had a malfunction. I could not do my office work and it also cost me a financial loss as repairing took considerable amount from me. I could not use services like working on Steemit and Hive.

Despite of our dependency on electronic equipment, there are many people who are living without them. They are happier than us I think. Electronic items can be very dangerous as well. Recently, Israel allegedly caused Hizbulla fighters' pagers to explode and kill many of them. Pager have simplistic technology. If this can be done with pagers, you can imagine the level of threat for the people who have smartphones, smartwatches and computers with them. These equipment can be hacked and made to explode. This is another cruel face of the modern technology. Any terrorist organization can do the same thing with millions of such gadgets all over the world and kill many.

What do you think?
