What is Technology?

Technology is something that is created for the welfare of society and humankind by applying the principles of science. Or in simple words, technology symbolizes the advancement of Human knowledge, and man is considered as the creator.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology:

As for many years, the topic “Technology-a boon or curse” became a topic of debate for many scientists, and no one able to find out the actual side of this.
so now discuss some good and bad points of technology over here to find out what is suitable for whom.

This technology is somewhere diminishing human relations. As online social networking increasingly replaces real face- to -face and physical contact, as well as problems such as cybercrime, online stalking is increasing. Humans are social animals, so a lack of physical contact could lead to depression and anxiety.

Second is that we are increasing our dependency on technology, such as hospitals, airlines, education, etc. Humans would be almost helpless if the technology was taken away from overnight.

People waste their valuable time on social media like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok by using it most of the time.

Therefore, it depends on us that how we use technology for ourselves. The technology works both as Boon or Curse according to our using it. Like human-invented technology of Atom Bomb for their security but when it is used for harming the other humans then technology will definitely come out as Curse. So how to use technology is depends on us.
