Technology: a ticking time bomb?::
Technology has revolutionized the world and has been helping us reach the zeniths of our professional or personal lives. However, while being engrossed in the ‘miracles’ of technology, we often remain ignorant and clueless about the harm it begets.
First and foremost, it is my firm opinion that technology has made us replace the real pleasures of life. We now spend most of our precious time hunched over our computers or phones, playing fantasy games and swiping through Facebook newsfeed. Admittedly, what we do not realize is that the support and companionship we receive from our loved ones cannot be substituted with a screen, and those long phone calls or chats with our peers cannot compete with a warm hug or mutual smile we share with our parents or siblings.
Additionally, it is an undeniable fact that technology has opened the door for bullies to tyrannize a victim even from the safety of their own living room. Of course, you might say to yourself in such a situation, “turn it off”. However, the bitter truth is that the stinging effects caused by the preposterous remarks on Facebook or Twitter, for example, linger in inexplicable ways. It is doubtless that having internet trolls under one’s skin can easily shatter their self-esteem and confidence, sometimes leading teenagers to inflict harm to their bodies.
All in all, without a shadow of doubt, it is my unwavering credence that technology is silently tearing us limb from limb whilst we are all hoodwinked to thinking it is eminently propitious.
