RE: Is technology making us lazy? Are smartphones good for us? Are all social networks in fact ANTI-social? Is all this taking us in the wrong direction? "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."— Albert Einstein

in #life7 years ago

I had a professor in college who defines technology as the destroyer of mankind. By the way this is a technology school. Realistically nothing is perfect. If it was than what is the point to pushing forward. Everything has some type of flaw/s so in time it will evolve. The argument/discussion to be had is if this will be good or bad in the long run.

Honestly life has been a lot easier with the technological innovations today and this have provided people with more free time to be "productive" in other ways. As technology replaces real people on specific jobs it is the people's responsibility to create new "productive" work for themselves. There is not technology to be blamed but the people who did not go out to better themselves and to create opportunities. Its a new age and people will likely have to change jobs more often than not. The good old days of long term employment and steady income will not be had today if one does not evolve with technology.

I am a perfect example. If I had follow cryptos and steemit last year I would be rich now. Instead I am currently a poor sap trying to earn pennies on the dollar. Well at least I am trying to earn more with the use of technology.

No way technology is making people dumber unless they rely on it 100%. I am still astonished by how artists and gardeners on steemit know more about blockchain and cryptos than me. I sit in front of a computer all day and still I ignored what technology is benefit for the mass. Technology is as good as how it is used so I say to all those believe in the negative feedback with technology reverse it and use their time learn and apply the technology.

Sort:  

"...have provided people with more free time to be "productive" in other ways.

Thanks for your input!:)))
