Is Technology Good or Bad?

Technology is an important part of our life. It gives us knowledge, saves labor, and entertains us. However, there are some negative aspects about technology. It can ruin people's lives and health in different ways.

On the one hand, technology has benefited us in many ways. First, it has facilitated communication because it has turned the world into a global village. Also, technology has improved our lives a lot. Vacuum cleaners, washing machines, computers etc all save us time, money and resources and do complex tasks. In addition, technology helps improve education. Students can access more information and a lot easier than before. Today, with the Internet, the sky is the limit for accessing all kinds of information and broaden our knowledge.

On the other hand, technology has a dark side too. It creates unemployent because machines take the place of people and a small tool can do the work of many workers. Also, technology can create addiction. This dependency on the machine can make people lose many social skills, as is the case with computers, as well as cause or worsen diseases. Moreover, machines create a digital divide between the North and South and within the same society. So, many people are left out and behind.

In a nutshell, technology is both good and bad like anything else in life. It all depends on the intention of the user who should approach it in a more rational way.
