RE: FRIENDSHIPS ARE OVERSHADOWED BY TECHNOLOGY

Sorry my response is abit long. Am off at work😆.

Of a truth, technology has brought about a lot of positive changes to human life. One thing I truly appreciate about it is how it helps us stay organized. Before now, our offices used to be filled with piles of papers here and there, but with technology, we can now archive so many things in our systems and on the cloud. Whenever we need any document, we can easily print it out without stress.

Technology has also made learning and communication easier. It has connected people globally and made access to information faster. However, while we enjoy these benefits, we should also be careful not to let technology control us. Too much dependence on it can make us less natural and reduce human interaction.

Now, in my opinion ooo,

I personally see technology as a 'weapon', a double edged sword. It can either be used as a positive weapon for growth, development, and speed, or as a weapon that destroys the very person using it and even the relationships they have built. The choice lies in our hands.

That is why when we go on social media today, we see all kinds of things, from valuable content and junks. Many people use it wrongly, exposing themselves in ways that later haunt them. So, while we engage in this digital space, let us be intentional. Let us embrace the positive side of technology and not allow it to take our minds away from the real things that truly matter in life.

Funny enough😆, #mothers and #fathers #Hivers in the house can relate to this too. Technology, in one way or the other, has affected the #relationship between us and our #children. These days, when a #baby is crying, the first thing many #parents do is to turn on a cartoon. Instead of paying attention to what the child is trying to communicate, we quickly hand over a screen just to keep them quiet.

Of course, parenting can be overwhelming at times, children can be all over you calling mummy, daddy every second 😅. But not every time should we expose them to screens. When they get used to it, it becomes an #addiction, and we begin to see children who can hardly stay without gadgets.

Let us therefore engage technology as a #positive #weapon, something that supports our growth, not something that dominates our space or weakens our human connection.

Thank you Ma for this wonderful piece. It is a timely reminder to us all. 🥰🥰
