Is Technology a Boon or a Bane?

Technology has contributed to significant improvements in the area of medicines, communication, travel and education. We have used technologies like AI to create driverless cars, trains etc. Innovation of smartphones, PC etc. has helped us to great extent. At the same time with our over dependence on technology, we have contributed towards global warming and nuclear stockpiles. In a very recent incident there was a chemical leak once again from a factory which caused several people to die. With our dependencies on social media and gaming consoles, we have become less social and spending more time indoors

Let’s take a simple example of a matchstick. We can use it to light a lamp or light a fire for cooking. But it can also be used to light a fire that burns someone’s home. So friends, similar to the matchstick example, if the technology is used for wrong purposes it can be a Bane whereas if it is used for right purposes, it will be a Boon for us and we can reach new heights. Maybe we all can have a house On Mars in the future!
