Technology; one of the most dangerous yet important tool humans can’t do without now in the 21st century. Have you ever imagined how survival would be for you and i if technology gets taken away someday. I’m sure you and i don’t even want to imagine how hard life is going to become if such a thing ever happens in the near future. Honestly, thinking about it gives me chills. The fact that technology play a huge role in our life as humans is a fact we can’t ignore neither can we deny. Technology is life in this 21st century, the continuous advancement of technology is what brought about the civilization and modernization we have now in the 21st century…
When it comes to technology, people tend to focus more on the benefits they get from it, rather than also looking at how much damage it has caused in the life of humans since it came into existence. Don’t get me wrong friends, I know how important technology is to mankind, especially in regards to our survival on earth. Technology has indeed helped made life easier and comfortable in so many ways, but then, don’t let us forget the different damages it has caused to mankind also. If we are to compare the life we are living, here in the 21st century to that of our forefathers, who had little to no access to these technologies we have today, do you think we are living a much more better and fulfilled life than they did?
My answer to this question is a resounding No. Our ancestors lived a more better and fulfilling life than we do now. This so technology has taken more from us than it gave to us, is it the constant deterioration of our health or the unseen damages it has inflicted on us. Centuries ago, there was nothing like technology, back then our forefathers had to improvise to make life easier and better for themselves. They lived an organic life, which helped them greatly. Thanks to the absence of this so called technology in their time, they lived longer, compared to this 21st century, where no one has ever lived longer than 120 years max. Thanks to the organic and natural life our forefathers lived, they grew very old before death took them, unlike now where technology has damaged so many things in our body…
Technology is making life both easier and complicated. Our forefathers didn’t stop living when they had no access to technology, if they could do it, what’s stopping us from giving it a try. Honestly, I doubt if it would be possible for us to live without technology in this modern age and time. We are now addicted to this so called technology. We have built our survival around it, so much that putting an end to it now is like asking for the lives of millions of people…
A big shoutout to our forefathers for living a more fulfilling and prosperous life than ours. I know this might sound crazy to so many people out there, but then it is what it is. To me, technology is making life more complicated than it seems. Regardless of its numerous advantages, there are also many disadvantages attached to it, which we have decided not to see because of the numerous benefits we get from it…
In conclusion, I know you guys might find this funny and unbelievable, but deep down inside of us, we know the life our forefathers lived before technology was more safer and better than the life we are living now in the 21st century, and the earlier we accept this, the better it is for us…
