Question
Technology: An Enemy
Televisions. Computers. Laptops. Ipads. Ear pods. Cell phones. Smartwatches. One cannot escape the Land of Devices. They are everywhere. It’s impossible to go anywhere without seeing someone’s eyes glued to a screen. Technology is a great tool when used sparingly. Business affairs and transactions, email, digital photography, 3D printing, and searching the World Wide Web are just a few of the benefits the Digital Age has bestowed upon all inhabitants of Earth. What clever presentations men and women can create, what powerful images photographers can design, and what incredible interactions people can have because of the technological advancements the world offers.
Despite the good things technology brings people, it has a bad side. “Technology keeps us close to those who are far away but far away from those who are close.” It’s true. People are so self-absorbed in their phones and millions of other devices, that they cannot carry on a conversation with someone standing right in front of them. The ability to socialize has declined and continues to do so. From kids to teenagers, to young adults, communicating with others is a lost art. Some individuals choose to only communicate via an electronic device. Many do not have the basic skills to carry on a conversation in person among their peers. Hiding behind a screen detracts from being in tune with oneself and with others. Reality becomes falsified, and humans lose their sense of individuality. While technology has its positive attributes and is necessary to function in today’s world, it is the enemy of humanization.
