If i say the diverse advancements in technology has been all shades of good and pleasant on my part, then i certainly must be telling a FAT LIE.

Lyndon B. Johnson, the former president of the United States of America quotes:

If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.”

Personally, i have embraced technology as far back as many years ago intentionally or unintentionally, and i cannot deny its how phenomenal it is in this modern day.

We have all felt the impact of Technological Advancements in too many an area to mention but a few; in Science & technology, in trading & business, in finance and also in administrative running process.

The rapid & changing advancement is technology has been so good to me i cannot deny,

For one, my phone has become like my BFF (Best friends forever), it keeps me company, gives me comfort, and truth be told it makes me happy, take it or leave it, through hundreds of features it offers in applications and web information coupled with social themes.

I find it really difficult making physical connections with friends and family, this has been typical of me from the onset, these days i don't sweat it, i communicate steadily with these special people home and abroad because technology has made it possible. I reach them mostly through the whatsapp app, facebook, and i am also in track of their lives and all that is going on around them through their posts and updates online.

STEEMIT has added more flavour to this, you would not imagine that i have now met friends from all over the country in which we communicate, many thanks to the STEEMIT platform for this rare opportunity.

So most of the time, i am on my phone, steeming, chatting, texting, and video calling...cool.

Technological advancement has also assisted me in the area of online purchase. Be it groceries, acessories, kitchen equipments, shoes, handbags and wears.

All i do when i have a need is go online, locate a vendor in that field, make my choices, then place my order, have a dispatch rider take my delivery and boom i have my products. It's that easy and effortless.

I have found job opportunities not only for myself but also for friends in need through online vacancies & publications and through the popular App linkedIn. It's been such an amazing experience for technology to be able to hack all through this through science & technology.

Now here's the downside

There is a saying by popular historian, Christian Lous...

Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.

No caps, this is so darn true !!!

Inasmuch it gives so much help the brunt of it all is taking a huge toll on me.

Firstly, my health, due to late nights and being for hours on end on the screen, my eyes has begun to fail me and most mornings i am stucked with a constant one-sided headache, not too good.

My laziness has tripled as i get really lazy doing any other thing after getting off my electronic/ mobile devices.

My laundry, chores and cooking suffers for this ill.

Real intimacy & bonding alike with my loved ones feels lost, everyone now seems to have a world of their own in the internet, no more fun or family time to bring us together.
