There are a lot of issues that we speak about, nowadays. One such issues is
the technology-is it a boon or a bane.
There are a lot of speakers who speak about environment or nature,
but its either money or fame that is in their first place and not the nature
itself. Now you may wonder, as to why did I deviate from the topic of
technology and move to nature. Technology and nature are the best enemies of
each other. Technology is much offensive but nature on the other hand is less
defensive.
What is Technology? Technology is an idea that was
created by human to make his life much simpler as to what god/nature has proposed.
But, don’t you think that we are disobeying nature. We are ! Because we think
that nature is static and not dynamic. But, we are wrong, nature is not static.
As the Newton’s third and most well renowned law, which is every action has
equal and opposite reaction, if we do some mistake then we will have to pay for
it one day or the other. So, the nature is waiting to take its revenge on us, just
waiting for the perfect moment. Natural
disasters are one way how nature shows its revenge on us. So, if we suffer from
a natural phenomenon then the gods/nature is not the one to be blamed.
Why did we need technology for? We needed technology
for the betterment of the human race. I would describe technology as a curse, because
it attracts everyone and everything. If we chose something very beautiful, then
it has something very dangerous waiting for us. I’m not telling you that
marrying a beautiful girl has consequences, which we do know (no offence
against girls) , in fact everymen wants a beautiful woman to support his life.
But, marrying a technology has its consequences, by marriage here I meant to
those who love to have the latest tech in their hands. In fact now days,
technology is knowledge. But, is it so. We created technology to support
knowledge, but now we say technology is knowledge. If we attend an interview,
the interviewer asks the interviewee about his/her knowledge in technology and
if one is good in that he is more considered than the others. Nowadays,
starting from a five year old kid to a fifty year old man everyone play with
technology. Technology was knowledge, is entertainment, and will be life.
How did technology get its picture in the first place?
We can relate the start of technology back to the days of war, when the
scientists where working hard enough to find stuffs that could beat the
opponent in large numbers. They started finding nuclear bombs that could wipe
an entire city in to ashes. But at one point of time humans have found enough
bombs that could wipe the entire earth.
So, he stopped concentrating on technology as war and started
technology as luxury, which even turned out to be much fatal as the former had
an ending but the later has no ending. We nowadays find phones and laptops and
gadgets, not even knowing the consequences of not disposing it properly. The
nature is a life cycle in which humans have to play their role as humans, but we
invented technology and gave it a place in the life cycle thinking that the
nature would accept it. But, our assumption was wrong the nature rejected it (non-decompose
products).
Who is to be
blamed the producer or the consumer of technology? If we as the consumers stop
consuming the technology then the producers would have no choice but to quit.
But, as we all know human mind is not an ideal one, we would be an
environmentalist but would be using the latest tech. And what about the case of
producers, why can’t the producers stop the production of technology and start
a green revolution, this intern is not
possible as the producers are no other than the greedy money hunters, who want
both money and reputation in their life. So, is it that we have no choice???
