An article on Computer technology. It is an advantage or a curse,
Computer Technology- an advantage or a curse.
We were discussing rather debating on the above subject a
few days back among our friends and I thought to pen down my view on the same
and hence this article.
As we are already in the new
century after completing the previous century we never realized how much we
have transformed our lives due to the advancement of technology and most
important of them is IT. Yes computer Technology has touched our lives and of
late the new trend of social networking sites has been of great help in
bringing people together.
The social networking sites has
reduced the distance between the peoples and it has helped to exchange views
and information among masses with minimum efforts. It has also helped to make
the big and huge globe where we are living into a small village where we are
hardly away from each other, thanks to our computer technology.
When we talk about social
networking sites we need to understand that there are lots of advantages and at
the same time it has its own disadvantages too. The advantages are many like we
can increase our social contacts, we can easily reach out to our distant
relatives and friends and other near and dear, we can do business communication
effortlessly even to the farthest corner of the globe in a split of seconds, we
can easily share our information to multiple persons simultaneously, and we can
get ourselves associated with the like minded peoples etc etc. Having said that
I would like to mention that the Computer technology and social networking sites
has its own drawbacks or disadvantages as well.
From the innumerous disadvantages
a few among them are, The Computer technology has flooded with numerous
countless indoor games which has reduced the physical activities for the
children. The computer technology has improved to such an extent that now a
days a normal human being hardly burn 1/10 of his her calories than what they
use to burn a few years back during normal office hours due to the reason that
all the work are being down in the system and they hardly move from their desk
or chair frequently.
The efficiency of the brain to
calculate or memorize has faded to the
bottom low due to the reason that now a days all the calculations are being
done through Computers or related technology and the heavy dependency on the
same has helped our brain to forget its real potential.
Similarly the draw backs on social
networking sites are that without any doubt when we accept that it has lot of
advantages, it has its own disadvantages too as the identity of the person with
whom we are interacting are not always sure and the profile can be fake too,
and one need to very carefully and examine the profile and investigate it in
one’s own way to identify and recognize if the person on social networking site
are genuine or not etc. Also of late it is noticed that a good number of people
are found getting addicted to these Social networking sites and they end up
spending a good time on internet chatting with people to whom they are intimate
on line. This waste a lot of productive time of us especially of students in
which a few of the case we have seen the concerned student slips in their grade
in their studies.
In a nutshell whether we talk of
computer technology or social networking site both has its own advantage and
disadvantages. It is up to us how we manage it. It is like salt in food or sugar
in our blood. Both is very much important ingredient for our body but if it
increases or decreases the problem starts, like wise we should know how to
utilize the Computer technology and social networking site to our advantage. We
must be efficient enough to understand the need for ourselves our own
priorities and know where to draw the line.
