Confidence in using technology should be in ourself-not in the technology
Md Jahedul Islam
The wheels of science, technology and civilization are woven and moved by the same thread. Nowadays various technological tools have become essential to make life faster. A better life and civilization cannot be imagined without the use of technology. As a result of the latest innovations in technology the life is changing every moment. Basically technology is born to make life easier and more beautiful. However this requires the right perspective. On the one hand technology can be used positively through It's right attitude and on the other hand the bad attitude towards technology can lead us to misuse it. At present misuse of technology is increasing rather than proper use. So misuse of technology is now becoming dangerous.
Will humans control technology or will technology control humans. At present this complex question has occupied the conscience of the people. The simplest answer to this complex question is that since technology is for humans so humans will control technology and manage everything beautifully through technology. Making positive use of technology will make life easier as well as more dynamic. Therefore the technology should be applied with caution. For this reason one should take the benefit as much as is necessary for progress and development.
If we abandon by ourself to technology by immersing ourself unaccountably in the vast empire of technology then life can be disrupted. Continuous misuse of technology can stop all achievements. Even the risk of death due to the harmful effects of technology can constantly haunt us. In this era of technological and scientific advancement its progress cannot and should not be stopped. But besides preventing its misuse positive use should be ensured. People want to have everything easily at their fingertips. Internet technology use of smartphones has made communication management much easier. So it is very important to be careful in this case.
Now everyone young and old is used to using technology. Morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night everyone are busy with mobile phones and social media. Many people spend lonely nights in the competition to use technology. Mobile phone is a very popular technology now. Its customers are increasing every day. Mobile phone is an important contribution of science in the amazing development of human civilization. Mobile phones have revolutionized information sharing. Now a single moment cannot be imagined without this mini version of computer and internet. Mobile phones are very popular all over the world due to their fast communication capabilities and various conveniences anywhere in the world. In order to reduce the misuse of mobile phones it is necessary to give mobile phones to children after reaching adulthood.
Apart from this proper education should be given about the misuse of mobile phones. The invention of technology has brought happiness, peace, prosperity and convenience in every aspect of our daily life. The phenomenal development of human civilization from the earliest times to the present day is rooted in the significant contribution of science and technology. Science is the product of human pursuit. Technology invented by science has given speed to man. Now the advantage of this technology has made every step of civilization are faster and the world become smaller. Science has given man the unstoppable triumph of infinite energy. Technology is the amazing inventions of scientists. In contact with technology the door of new consciousness has been opened in the world. Due to the helping of the technological world is progressing rapidly. With the help of technology people can solve task in less time. With the help of technology people can do more work in a short time and through this reason economic development is also faster. So the world is now dependent on technology.
Exporting technology invented in one country to other countries is making economic progress. Moreover some countries are making financial progress by exporting raw materials for the development of technology. From the days of prehistoric man's discovery of fire to the modern era of human life human pursuits have enriched science. Meanwhile world-class technologies are still in the hands of a few. Therefore special attention should be paid to prevent division and discrimination due to technology. The impact of technology on daily life is depend not only the welfare of people. Misuse of technology is also causing harm in many cases.
People are becoming increasingly labor-averse as they over-rely on machines. People of modern civilization are advancing in the world depending on science and technology. Modern civilization cannot be imagined without science. Technology is a major contribution to human civilization. How vast the contribution of technology to human welfare in the modern world can be felt from daily experiences. Technology has made our daily life more convenient as well as more dynamic. But if people misuse this benevolent power of science then it is not technology's fault. The real culprits in misusing technology are the people who use it in misuse. If people do not misuse the power of technology and are guided by the wisdom of science and use technology for the development of civilization then the use of this technology will be neither a curse but a blessing. One thing we always have to remember is that we will use technology. Technology should never use us.
In the coming days the technological system of the world will become more and more dependent on artificial intelligence and automation technology. So we have to keep our eyes and ears open for new innovations. Must have attitude to adopt new technologies. We have to create technology friendly environment by making friends with technology. Along with adopting the new in keeping with the times, one has to know the newness. We need to prepared ourself for any kind of technical challenge. Technology should not be seen as our competitor.
Technology cannot be allowed to dominate to us. By accepting technology as a friend then it is possible to achieve the desired goals by keeping pace with technology. This modern technology has been able to conquer the whole world. For the helpful contribution of the technology the world is now in the controls of the people. Technology has made difficult tasks easier as technology has brought people to the pinnacle of development. Moreover against the skyrocketing success of technology there is the threat of destruction of civilization. However its evil effects can be controlled by humans. More important than technology is the knowledge and conscience of a person. We should always be aware of that. Because if people can invent technology then they can also control it. Therefore by discarding the bad effects of technology the world should be taken forward on the path of further development by applying technology for human welfare.
