In the past 10 years, the technological advancements that we humans have achieved are truly surreal. People who said moon landing will be impossible are now discussing a tour to the red planet MARS. From sending postal messages to friends & family and waiting for around 20 to 30 days for a reply, now we can visually see and contact any person in any corner of the world in a matter of seconds.

This is how we operate

The development of Technology around us simply cannot be put into words.

It is so amazing but also very destructive. Now don’t get me wrong, It’s like a coin with two sides or more like a BLADE with two edges. It is hard to explain but to put it in simple words, It is making people lazy and eating our brains from the inside and the worst part is, we can’t even realize it happening around us. These technologies are so and Tangled in our lives that they control every decision we make and influence them in some way or another.

People used to do mathematical calculations and deliver solutions using their brains, mind and fingers. But now we’re just using only the fingers. Just to give input and BAAM! We get whatever output we want.

We are not even using our minds to do a simple calculation trick like addition or subtraction. We need a calculator for it now, but mostly this affects the children these days. They get access to smartphones and the internet at a very young age. It is actually utilized in a good way by a very few students just to get but spoils the rest majority of kids.

Drowning inside likes and comments

Humans are built to use their brains to visit a problem and squeeze it for a solution. But now we can’t even remember an event or even a birthdate. We are using reminders and calendars, a Phonebook to store contacts and etc.

Can you remember someone else’s number other than yours? Can you?

The answer is most likely NO.

Or just 2–3 maybe. MAYBE.

You are disabling a feature that has been gifted to your body at birth, but we have replaced those gifts with technology nowadays That this is the way we operate at an atomic level

After the early 2000s, the technological Revolution completely wrecked so that we can’t even live without the Internet are these smartphones.

It deteriorates the thinking abilities of every human. They lose the skill of critical thinking decision making and fast reaction Times drowning in the world of Smartphones

But the other end of the spectrum as I side already, we are even planning to do a manned mission to Mars it can be of good use, But also a very destructive weapon in the wrong hands. So choose wisely to limit your dependency on the technology. Think overcome and evolve, It is in every human's DNA. We evolve, We survive and We overcome all the challenges thrown at us. UNITED.
