Tech in Human Life


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.
