MODERN TECHNOLOGY

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

• Easy access to information
• Good for communication
• Increases loneliness
• Competency

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

• It has become very easy to get access to info at any time anywhere. This is possible due to modern technologies like broadband internet. Data is being published online, sites like Wikipedia and Youtube have great content that can be used in research or entertainment.

COMMUNICATION

• We cant develop without communication. Modern technology has helped us with communication tools. Mobile phones can help us connect with other people in different ways (e.g text message, phone call, video chat) All these modern communication technology tools have simplified the way humans communicate. All you have to do is take out your phone

LONELINESS

• Social Isolation is increasing, people are spending more time playing video games, using social networks and they neglect their real life. Technology has replaced our old way of interacting. If a user can easily interact with 100 friends online, they will feel no need to going out to make real friends which at a later stage leads to loneliness.

COMPETENCY

• Increased dependency on modern tools like calculators has reduced on our creativity. You can find a student when they can solve a very simple mathematical equation without using a calculator. This affects the way this student uses their brains and reduces the level of creativity.
