Technology has grown its footprints in every segment of our lives. From communication, machinery, agriculture, transportation, science, and health, every industry dwells on cutting edge technology to perform necessary and critical actions. While on one hand technology makes life simple, convenient and easy, on the other hand it has parted people physically, mentally and emotionally. This growing gap of thoughts and ideology has been on the part of technological advancements. From the business point of view, technology has revolutionized the global economy a great deal. And, there are more than ever opportunities to grow and thrive. To proceed, People should learn the ways technology improves business to gain maximum advantage from it. And like every coin has two sides, technology itself has some advantage and disadvantages that shapes our present and future. Take a look!
- Reduced Distance
The emergence of technological advancements has made the world a neighbor. Now, everyone seems to be on doorsteps. Technology such as internet, online chat, video call, and others has opened new dimensions to allow flow of information and communication without the limits of geographical boundaries and long distances. One can communicate and share their thoughts and emotions to anyone in the world in real-time and all this are possible due to advance future technology.
- Time saving
No doubt technology has played a significant role in saving unnecessary time in communication and transportation. Earlier people use to post physical mails to send information from one place to another; this includes important decisions on which the future of many nations depends. So, communicating it on time becomes critical to make sure it stays impactful. Hence, technology has brought a new era where we can save more time with the aid of many communication mediums.
- Automation
Another great founding of the technology is automation. It includes automation in machinery, software, and several other industries. All these automation has been possible to rapid developing technology that has evolved over the years. With automation, many repetitive tasks are done with great precision and accurate at much high speed and in less time. All this is possible as technology begins to decode the science behind all these tasks and bringing out solution to tackle these hurdles.
- Overdependence
Although technology has been useful for the mankind, but its overuse has made us over dependent on it. Right from computers, machinery, Smartphone, automobiles are all part of the technology that has taken a huge chunk of our life and without them life seems completely impossible. And no one can imagine living life without them even for a second. So, despite having so many advantages, technology failed to make us self-independent. And, in case of any contingency, this week point might surface at some point of time.
- Virtual World
Technology is undisputedly at its best at the moment. Now, internet has grown into a powerful medium to meet new people and share feelings and ideas. But, instead of meeting people physically people are focused at living entirely in virtual world. Most people never care who are with them but are more devoted to people who never ever they met in life. And, they have to somewhat developed a virtual world with virtual friends, and virtual realistic feeling. This makes them ignorant to real people around them and they seem to not care what happening around them and who is living around them.
Final Words
While technology is there already to continue to revolutionize the world, it depends on us as how much to rely and depend on it to fulfill our needs and wants. Keeping a balance in life is important and without balance everything seems to break down. And, the result of that phase is completely terrible.
