IS TECHNOLOGY HELPING OR KILLING?
Technology has become a major part of our world and the effects it has on our social skills are growing. People argue that technology has brought us together with our community and increased our interaction with people. Yes, technology has brought us many advances, but in my opinion, we’ve become socially deprived because of it or should I say more zombie-like day by day. In a world full of constantly updated technology, it’s easy to feel superior. Look at us, we’re at the top of the food chain and we rule the world. We’re even smart enough to invent machines to do all of the hard work for us.📱
Or are we not so smart in that aspect? Hmm, not sure.😕😐
The zombie apocalypse is near.
What do I mean by that? No, I don’t mean that we’re being infected by some sort of zombie virus that leaves us desiring other’s brains.
No need to find a gun for each one of us. The zombie apocalypse is already here.
Going back to 5 October 2017, when a tragic incident happened. The power bank carried by a man inside his pocket suddenly exploded without leaving any sign of exploding before. Scary isn't it? In case you have no idea what is a power bank or how it works, Power Banks are comprised of a special battery in a special case with a special circuit to control power flow. They allow you to store electrical energy (deposit it in the bank) and then later use it to charge up a mobile device (withdraw it from the bank).
Back up to September of this year when a young man was killed on a San Francisco subway train. The alleged shooter waved a handgun around for several minutes, at one point wiping his nose with it, before deciding on a random victim to shoot, according to yet-to-be released subway surveillance video. The remarkable thing about the tragedy is that every passenger in the subway car was on their phone. No one noticed the deranged shooter until after he fired his gun.
A German “body-hacker” implanted a device in his arm that broadcasts his body temperature to an Android smartphone and sends alerts when the temperature exceeds a certain limit. What purpose does this serve?
It’s possible that you might call my view hysterical, but it’s backed-up by fact. Cell phones make one a worse driver, Twitter is addictive and people that use Facebook for long periods of time are likely to have higher rates of depression.
There is a lot of records showing accidents due to driver paying fully attention on their gadgets, and is increasing day by day. Besides, cyber bullying also already becoming addictive drug to people. Even if you go other people houses for celebrations or open houses, one of the most common things that you could see is teenagers on their smartphones and not interacting with guests or relatives.Oh, that awkward moment when Baby picks an iPad over Mommy. *sighs*
Believe me or not, gadgets can affect your health. Here are some you might want to know:
Have you ever watched Wall-E? If you already watched it, then you might can picture how the technology cause a great impact towards the world. If you haven't, then you should go watch it. It's AMAZING! Trust me ;)
this is a clip from the movie Wall-E
In a nutshell, technologies are making human zombies. Making us addicted just like how zombies are addicted to blood. Making us killing each other a little by little. We should always not misuse the convenience provided by technology. Think before we act, before it's too late for everything ;) See ya on my next post!💖🌸🌟
