A myth: ​Technologies are making our lives 

better! 

Do u think that technology is making your life easy? 

It is a myth that technology is helping you. Technology is 
making us the slaves of their comfort. 
 

 
 
Do you remember when we used to go out to get easy 
things done? 
Easy things like shopping or meeting new people. 
Today we don't realize the big issues coming to us in the 
future. We have become so comfort zoned that we cannot 
see the upcoming future problems. 
 

 
 
Today most of the stuff we have to do is online and we 
have the facility of commanding also. 
Once man did everything with his own hands, but today he 
just clicks a button and most of his work is done. 
We think we have progressed to a great extent but don't 
we feel sometimes that we are bound to the rules made by 
the government. 
 
  
 
Taking the example of India itself. 
Today it is mandatory for everyone to have a phone be it 
an adult or a kid. 
Phones and Paytm are both a must for today's Indian. 
 

 
 
The concept every person has in their mind is that 
technology is making us more advanced is correct in all 
ways, however, we don’t see that getting attached to the 
technology is making us lose all other social qualities. 
 

 
 
There has been a declaration that by the end of 2050 
most parts of the world would be so developed that we will 
get everything at our house. 
Here we get a lot of advantages like time-saving and easy 
access to things we are looking for, however, do you see 
the problems coming with them? 
Let's take a look: 
● We won't get out of our houses because everything 
will be available at home, this will result in an increase 
in diseases like obesity. 
Don't worry we are not behind in this disease. More 
than 52 percent of Americans are suffering from this 
disease. 
Do we realize why? 
 They are more developed and their work is done easily 
from their house. 
 

 
 
● Again the world will become so time managed that we 
won't have time for our families and friends. We will 
become work prone and we won't get time for any 
other forms of life. 
 

 
 
This was just a reminder that we don't forget that we are 
the inventors of technology and not their slaves. So, take 
out some time of your day without your gadgets and 
computers, and visit the nature where we come from.
