Are technologies a blessing or are they a danger to society? In my opinion, technologies are a menace to society.

It could be argued that technologies are so useful that they are used everywhere – from the boardroom to the classroom. We have to use the technologies or miss out in improving our knowledge. The internet is an indispensable source of information. The world is latterly at our fingertips. Search engines will get you whatever information you need.

On the other hand, we are spending more time on entertainment than gathering knowledge. We are surfing the Net for games, music, chat rooms, books and so on.

Moreover, the family is broken up by the technologies. How many times your mother called you for dinner and your answer is ‘Wait’, ‘Coming’. We are riveted to the internet or the online games. We are not interested in family excursions or get together. They are too boring. As a result, family ties are neglected. In addition, we are more computer savvy than our parents. That has to a widening of the generation gap.



There is even less time for face-to-face socializing. Chatting online is what we all love doing. We can keep in touch with friends who are all over the world. On the other hand, through social networks like Facebook and Twitter youth are spending hours on the computer. Though they may have hundreds of friends and spend all their time updating on the site, it is still friendship made without leaving the computer. Many are so addicted to their games that they have become quite anti-social. Of course there is always the danger of exposing the young to sleazy materials.

Furthermore, because of the amount of time spent holed up with the computer, we are spending less time in fresh air with friends. Games like badminton and soccer have been overtaken by computer games. Cyber life has overtaken real life.



To sum up, we have all fallen victim to the technologies. Addiction to the technologies is fast rising. Be honest, have you not skipped family activities or class or handed in incomplete homework simply because computer, tablet, phone games is more exciting?
