"Vehicleocity" - Winding up the world silently.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions - Plato
The saying is quite true, considering A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem. But I think the philosopher somewhere missed out on quoting about the pros and cons of each invention. There are two sides of coin, and it makes us important to look after both sides before making the acceptance of the new Inventions.
There are various technological advancement in every sphere of life. The various Invention in day to day life is changing our daily lives and making our life very easier and smoother. From cooking, to communication to traveling, to many things, we have seen invention all around us. More importantly they have been accepted easily in our society.
But are these Invention killing us or helping us??

This is big question to ask your self or analyze the different situation that invention creates. Every invention are made to solve a problem or to make life easier. But it is hard to judge their effect in the longer duration. Just to make my thoughts cleaerer, there is an instance from my daily life, which I like to share.
An incident to remember..
the invention of "ear buds" is a revolution way to stay connected with the mobile devices. It is a Bluetooth electronic device through which users gets connected with their mobile and help you in talking, listen music with ease by putting it in your ears. It has becomes a "swag" statement among todays youths. But in my case, I have used it only once and watched a movie putting it on ears. But at the end I develop a swollen eyes next day. The device was a branded one , but still it causes some problem to. It was just a bad impact of the Bluetooth device on me. May be the radiation, or the device usage ghat caused me such issues.
I am 'not'
against every invention. In-fact this platform is part of one such invention, along with internet, mobile, browsers etc. that allow us to remain active and making this post. Inventions can lead to new technologies, create new jobs, and improve quality of life etc. there are so many things around us which already become our part of life. We have adapted to them and find it hard to get away. There may be many examples computer, mobile, internet etc. where we are completely dependable on such inventions. They all are helping us. Never knew what impact it will create in longer run, or what could be the situation for coming generation
Invention under consideration
Of all the advancement, the invention of car and motor vehicle is somewhere causing a lot of issue in our life. This is my personal thought. What used to be a life changing innovation now causing some serious problem to humans and also to the environment.
I know many of you disagree and never have thought about it. but as it eases our lifestyle it make things quite worse in many aspect. ***From reducing the human physical effort, to causing air and noise pollution and now the chaos on the roads. It has multiple reason to be considered as killing us.
(my random personal image)
Imagine the life before the invention of automobile. People making use of bicycle, carts, or walk to various places. When Karl Benz developed the first petrol powered automobile, it was dismissed by many critics with many feelings, as though nothing would overtake horse drawn, carts train and bicycle. Motor vehicle, allowed people to travel faster and further than ever. It provided a sense of adventure and independence to many. Though it was considered to be the one of the worst invention. Nevertheless with their overall usage around the world, the automobiles have made the mark, the world in various negative ways.
The negative consequences of heavy car usage includes the use of non-renewable fuels, air and noise pollution. The various urban sprawls and increase in number of accident are adding more woes to it.
Better late than never
Now realizing the issue and to combat, these issue, many companies are shifting back and working on environment friendly vehicles like battery powered motors etc., Seeing the negative consequences of automobile many countries have already created a sense of emergency among people. If the situation is not tackled in better way, it will be going to cause some serious issues for future. We have just realised how dangerous the automobile could be after so many years of usage. Hopefully everyone realised this issue and help in every possible way to stop this spread further.
Peace !!

Nice article, thought provoking for sure
Thank you so much, 🙂 such appreciation motivates to do better...
👍
I loved your post, dear friend @steemflow, it makes you think deeply, you are very right in many ways, there are things that were done to help us live better, but with a huge environmental impact.
It's good that some companies are already repairing the damage they have done with their inventions.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon
We often miss out on the negative aspect. Mere seeing the positivity, we end up adapting to invention....remember there are two sides of a coin
Wow... It could be you reacted to something about the earbuds. I used to own one as well, but then I realized how dangerous it was. Once I had both pairs on, I was deaf to the rest of the world. A bomb could go off and I won't even know.
So when they got spoilt, I didn't even bother to replace them.
We all have our reasons for liking or not liking things...😏
Congratulations @steemflow

This is so true..all the device are dangerous...we have many mobile explosion incident, so why not those buds...who knows what is written over the fate...but the effect it had on me , made me to stay away... I have no words for this support. It means a lot to me.
Technology has been such a blessing to us. The advancement we have now have brought us to a point where we have life much easier than our ancestors. But then, with every provision of a solution, a new problem can be created. And many of the technology we have now can be our undoing. Sorry about your experience with the wireless earphones. I guess some products aren't as good as they should be.
u never know what we are upto.....have you noticed that nowadays everyone has more bluetooth devices around them....watch/buds/mobile/earphone etc....definatley there are some side affects too in coming days...after all it is the radiation that might cause some serious issue....just my thought
You are right, actually. And there are side effects like overexposure to radiation. Maybe it affecs our lifespan in the long run.

This is a thought provoking look at how technological advancements have affected us, and whether or not they’ve actually been good, and I’ve often wondered about this as well.
As a teacher, I see students every day, who have grown impatient and are unable to wait for anything, and I often consider this problem to be directly credited to things like streaming services and microwave ovens. Inventions that don’t allow us to practice patience anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love Netflix and the ease that comes from heating something in a microwave oven, but young people who have grown up with these items and not known any different are unable to appreciate the necessity of waiting and being patient.
Thanks for writing this and highlighting the pitfalls that can sometimes come with invention.
Impatient and aggressive are quite common nowadays.....it has many source and might you be true in your understanding....but somewhere it is related to upbringing as well....my teacher used to say "the way we present shows our family background"
