We are so in love
with gadgets and every comfort this technology has given us. We have come far
ahead from those Stone Age days but what if someday an alien giant comes and scraps
off our entire technology. Ripping up over server systems, destroying our
sources of energy and leave us helpless with no hope to restart.
Will we be able to
rebuild our times which were gifted to us by our ancestors? I doubt, may be one day we will be able to
start but it will take us years to forge that much of strength to restart. We
are so use to the comforts we have been showered with that we have forgotten
the essence of making an effort.
Not just the youth
even the elderly these days rely on technology like never before. I am a
economics student but I want to see how doctors treat a particular ailment. Let’s
google it. We have 12000 results, choose the first five. Oh I have viral, this
page tells me to take Amantadine and Arbidol. Is it an advantage or
disadvantage, I fail to decide. Though I no more need a doctor but what if
google is wrong.
This is what I call being blind folded by your comforts.
Every profession has become dependent on web. I don’t have to make notes, I will
study from internet. Wow. The need of books, acquiring knowledge and learning
things rather than just referring to has been lost.
I think a time will come when I will ask a lawyer what
capital punishment is. He will say wait and after searching google will give a
reply, so it is a legal process whereby a
person is put to death by the state as a punishment for
a crime.
I
mean have we become actually advanced or degraded ourselves to an even lower
level.
