In 21st century, we are almost surrounded by various
means of technology.
Technology present in our every walks of life.
All of us are carrying cell phones [smart phones].
Q. What makes a Smartphone smart?
Ans- We all know that is Internet. Without internet our smart phone is
like a brick.
But I am not going to discuss about features of smart phone. In this
article I will try to draw your attention on some important aspects of
technology.
Technology is replacing almost every human
activity, technology has two faces one is brighter and another is darker. Many
people want to discuss about only brighter face of technology but when it comes
to discuss about dark side they said that “every development has some
drawback”.
Now-a-days, technology is replacing almost
everything, from classrooms to factories and even cars to some corporate
offices.
People argue that they can replace
classroom environment by using virtual classroom. But virtual classes cannot
completely replace chalk and black board classes. That is why because in chalk
and board classes there is less chances to get distracted because students sits
front of teacher, so when they get distracted teacher will guide them. Also in
physical classes students learn to follow discipline.
In the case of
virtual classes students study on electronic gadgets, there is more chances to
get distracted because virtual classes run live with the help of internet, so,
if one opens internet to attend his virtual classes he/she might end up
watching some videos and doing some chat rooms.
So, physical
classes has always an edge over virtual classes.
After
introduction of computer many people lost their jobs because they don’t know
how to operate it.
We saw major developments in
technology in recent years, which include robotics and artificial intelligence.
After introduction of robotics technology many companies set up robots in their
plants for many activities, many people got unemployed because they do not know
to operate robots. Companies hired five technicians in place of hundred people.
Yes, I agree that robots are superior than us they cannot make mistake. In 2013
there are about 1.2 million industrial robots working across the world.
- Recently, some online sellers introduced Drone delivery,
· Many delivery boys will lost their live
hood if it will completely adopted by
whole world.
· But, drones have limited pay load,
battery life and range.
· Drones can be noisy and can annoy and worry
many people for privacy and security reasons.
So, drones cannot completely able to replace humans
right now but in future they can.
- Recently, Google launched driverless cars across the world for testing, fortunately Indian government refused to give permission because in country like India there is no need of such cars, because there are lot of unemployed peoples live in India and such cars will create more unemployment.
· But, what about rest of world?
·
Many direct truck
and taxi driver jobs will disappear.
·
Hotels decline,
people will sleep in their moving cars
Many restaurants across the world are using
robot steward for serving guests.
What wrong in iring human steward?
- Because robots are much cheaper than humans, they dont need salary regularly and they can serve guests with accuracy. But then what is the need of a resturant owner. Robots can manage company better than a human.
So, we have to
adopt technology wisely and there in need of pre-planning before implementation
of new technology,
And technological
developments are more beneficial for industrialists but for poor it is only a
cause of unemployment.
I am not saying
that there is no need of technology but access technology will be a threat for
mankind in future.
Now we are controlling technology but may be in future technology will control us.
