Latest Technology: An ally or an adversary?

Can you imagine yourself without any help from the machinery? Can you imagine the daily life without the latest gizmos like cell phones, microwave, computers, laptops or other machines? Today’s generation is so used to the latest technology that it becomes restless if it is forced to stay without the help from the technology for a few minutes. There are advantages as well as disadvantages of the latest technology.

Here are the advantages of the latest technology:

• The latest technology saves your valuable time. Earlier if someone wanted to send a message, he/she used to write a letter and post it. It used to take a few days for that letter to reach another person. However, with the help of modern technology, your message can reach the other person within seconds. Thus you save your valuable time and can get your work done in minimum possible time.
• You can save money too with the help of the latest technology. If you want to get some heavy machinery shifted from one place to another, then you can use the robotic arm or cranes to do the needful. This way you do not have to hire the man power for shifting purpose.
• There are fewer chances of mistakes, accidents or human errors when you are using latest technology for getting your work done. You can trim and maintain your lawn better with the help of machines. If you have a robot at your home or workplace, then you can save a lot of human efforts and enjoy with the latest technology.
• If you take help of the modern technology, you do not have to pay your hard earned money that you have to pay if you employ human servants or helpers.

Though there are many advantages of the latest technology, you cannot overlook the disadvantages that come along with the modern technology. The disadvantages of the latest technology are as follows:

• With the increased use of latest technology in day to day work, the main disadvantage is that many people are losing their jobs.
• When people lose their jobs, the less money changes hand and that affects the economy. Not only the developing counties but the developed countries too will face the adverse effects because of change in the economic scenario.
• The machines like cell phones, computer or even robots can break and if you do not know how to fix them, you need help. Thus, you may end up spending a lot of money and time on the repair work.
• If you are getting your regular work done with the help of machines then maintaining them properly is a must. You need to feed the data manually before you can start with your machines, if there is any error while feeding the data, then you will not get the desired output or end result and thus may suffer from losses.

Set your own limits for using the latest technologies to enjoy the benefits and to stay away from the disadvantages.
