This is just a case of what has an advantage also have a disadvantage and what appears as a blessing can also be a curse.</p><p>In the wake of technological advancements and development of science and technology in the world, there have been a lot of bad sides the entire world didn't bargain for. I'd be analyzing some negative effects of technology in our world today in few points.</p><p>Firstly, it is worthy to note that the advancement of technology in the world has caused the rate of in employment to triple in the last 7 years, as humans are no longer required to do most jobs anymore but machines. A machine can successfully do the job of ten humans which means that for every machine created at least yen humans would become unemployed. This negative trend is brought about by advancement in technology. In a bid to make life easier for factory owners nd industry owners, staffs become unemployed and the after effect of massive unemployment leads to increase in crime rate, as the unemployed would look for alternative means to make money and might end up getting frustrated and resort to crime.</p><p>Secondly, advancement in technology in the world by making the world a global village has reduced the rate of interpersonal communication between community folks, families et al. With the introduction of the social media, most individuals no longer have physical friends nor even talk to their family members but have friends they can't see on Facebook or other social media platform which has directly and indirectly affected their ability to communicate well with others they can see physically.</p><p>Furthermore, advancement in technology in the world comes with health risks. Before technology, there was nothing like cancer or other chronic diseases but with the improvement of technology in terms of GMO foods and other high risk products created with technology the human lifespan gradually keeps reducing. Radiation from telephones and network masts etc are vivid example. </p><p>Conclusively, there are a lot of other negative effects of technology on the world which I couldn't list but the bottom line is truly technology has been a blessing to making life easier but also a curse because it has made life worse and unbearable for some. Technology led to the development of the hydrogen bomb that sank Hiroshima and Nagasaki till today. That is one glaring example that technology is a curse as well</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkcpjrmd5","appParentAuthor":"mosinusita","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
