In this day and age, technology is present in almost every aspect of human life, question is do we need technology break? Technology is developing with such speed and intensity, that nearly every day different gadgets are being  produced, and new inventions are presented. But, in this never ending technology race, the desire and ambition for development is often unecessary and even dangerous. Today’s modern technology has started to cause more problems than good to human kind. Isn’t time for break?

Modern technology is used not only on a daily basis, but also everywhere in the world. From the global point of view, technology has affected everyday life in many ways. For example, in the process of industry, because inovative machines and devices have taken the role of the human being. By incorporating this new technology, in the process of production of different companies and firms, human kind has managed to substitute itself by it’s own creativity. This “development“ has a serious disadvantage, because technology has extruded people from their own work places, and many workers have lost their jobs because of this advancement. History repeats itself: Ned Ludd is an example from history, are we like he?

Off course, modern technology has played an important part in improvement of the quality of human’s life. It helps us to solve different problems, in a quicker and more efficient way, and also to relieve some parts of our responsibilities. But even in it’s main purpose, it has proved to be more damaging than alleviating, because it often makes people lazy and incapable of solving these problems in a more natural, old fashioned way.

Also, after narrowing down these problems with technology to an individual level, one more flaw can not be dismissed. More and more people are becoming addicts to this incredible convenience and endless possibilities. People spend much more time in front of the computers than is necessary, slowly starting to live in this “virtual world“, and the price is often their social life, education or even health. Also, different gadgets have made people obsessed with information. All we need is break, technology break!

By considering all of this, one can easily conclude that technology changes human kind’s way of living – and not in a good way. We need to distance ourselves from it and reduce the impact of technology from many aspects of our lives. This development can and will have serious consequences for us, it will alienate us from the normal way of living, take our working places and in the end, irretrievably change our planet and its life.

What do you think, are you technology addicted? Do you spent to many time in front of you „virtual friend“? Go, take time to be with your family and friends!
