Nowadays, as human civilization and
knowledge have developed, human beings try to create new device to help them in
doing their daily activities. That’s what we know today as technology.
Technology has been one of the most important parts in our life. Human beings
even tend to feel discomfort without technology because the life will be more
difficult without technology’s help.
We
can see the fact about the impact of technology in our daily life. When the
electricity is cut off, we’ll feel discomfort because suddenly we can’t see
anything. Everything will be dark. Besides, we can’t use any technology device.
Human beings in the ancient time did not feel discomfort without electricity
because there was no technology to be used at that time. Now, technology has
had impact even in our small activities. For example, we don’t use cooking pot
to cook rice anymore. People think that it is more efficient and easier if we
use rice cooker instead of cooking pot to cook rice. Another example, in this
hot weather, we should use air conditioner to cool ourselves.
Technology
has made friends with everybody with no exception. Business people use
technology to do transaction, to input data, help to check their stock and many
others. Almost all company and shops use computer system in doing their
business now. Teachers and students also use technology in their activity. For
example, teachers use computer to deliver the class material to students and to
type examination questions. Meanwhile, students use computer to do homework or
project given by teachers. They sometimes also use internet to search for
additional class material to improve their understanding or to help them in
doing project.
But,
besides all of these positive impacts given by technology, people also find
some negative effects of using technology. For example, most people think that
people can use internet to achieve bad purpose and some parents think that it
is unsafe for children to access the internet as they can do something bad.
Another example of the negative effect is those who keep using cell phone for
the whole day, keep messaging each other and even ignore their daily activity.
Such person is living in their own world.
Actually,
all these bad effects can be eliminated by applying some morale education.
Parents should keep educating the children to behave in right way. It’s no need
to encourage people to stop using technology as it’s not the effective way. By
preventing people to use technology, it will cause backwardness and it means
that people won’t make any progress in their life. So, either the positive or
negative impacts of technology really depend on us. It depends on the way we
use it.
If
we use the technology in the right way, it will help us a lot. In the other
hand, if we use it to achieve bad purpose, it will be dangerous for us. For
example, we can compare the positive and negative impacts that we create by
ourselves. If someone uses computer system to design useful software that can
be used by people all over the world, it will be the positive impact.
Meanwhile, if someone uses computer system to create a virus or become hacker,
it will be dangerous for people and it will be negative impact.
So,
it is very important to improve morale education so that everybody will use
technology in the right way, not use them to achieve bad purpose. Technology is
very useful device which provides help and knowledge which we may not find in
our daily life.
