Do you think advanced technology somehow hampers our natural thought process? Share your opinion.

---

I believe advanced technology has destroyed our thought process. Now no one uses their Brain to solve any problem. If they run into a problem they will watch videos or search about it on different websites and these days many of the articles are generated automatically through AI.

Nobody uses their own brain to solve any problem so yes I believe that the advanced technology is somehow damaging our natural thought process. and we are dependent on many gadgets to help us solve the common problems in our daily life.

For example we don't remember any of the numbers or any of the emails, if we lose our phone then we won’t have any record of our email or phone numbers in the earlier days people use to remember all the numbers and they would use their brain to do many things like writing a letter on a paper with the pen.

These days the technology is doing most of the work. Let's say if you are writing something we don't even have to correct the words, you don't have to think about the spelling using the autocorrect will do all the things for you. which is killing the natural thinking of a human. and someday if you don't have these things we would not be able to write a simple email or write a simple text message.

So, yes I believe that advanced technology is manipulating our natural thought process in many ways and making us their slaves.

Should we depend entirely on these advanced technologies, or should we also use our intellect? Explain the reasons behind your answer.

---

---

I am of the opinion that we should not depend entirely on this advanced technology because not every time they can help us and when we are in need all the advanced technology is available and we should not make ourselves more dependent on it.

There can be situations in which no advanced technology is available and at the time you will have to use your own mind and while we are dependent on Advance technology we won’t be able to run our thought process and will remain helpless because of dependency.

Advanced technology is not bad at all, it helps us in making our chores easier and helps us save time but at the same time overuse of these technologies can affect our mental and physical Health.

Advance technology have to cover our whole life from going to relatives house to making a group video call, from going out took our cab to booking at online to your phone, from manually turning on each light to controlling the whole system with just one button, from playing outside in the streets to playing video games and watching cartoons on mobile.

All the things that dimension about are the reasons why we should not depend on advanced technology because there is no time for exercise, for meeting your friends to relax, children do not play outside to remain healthy and fresh but play video games instead which has limited their patience.

Are you supporting or against the usage of advanced technologies? Share the logic behind your choice.

---

I am not a hater of advance technology as a matter of fact we used advanced technology and our day to day life and without the latest and updated Technology we could not survive in this day in age advanced technology are very important for everything for our business is for our health care and for our education we need all these advanced technology but up to a certain limit.

There should be limit to everything, let say we need this technology in our health care and we are doing a lot of new discoveries because of this advance technology about human brain, about human body and because of this technology we are able to cure many diseases but at the same time there are many problems with the technology as well.

Sometimes the readings are not accurate, sometimes the result is not accurate and we don't care to retest the judgement of the machine because we are entirely dependent on it and because of that sometimes the main diseases remain uncured and many bad things happen because we believe the machines more than humans.

There should be a balance between usage of advanced technology and our human intellect because not all the residence can be taken using advanced technology. Sometimes it gives the solution which is not according to your situation because humans can understand better than machines and then know how to solve their own problems then them.

Disadvantages of Advanced Technology:

Technological division:
With the increase in advanced technology use people have become divided. Not all the people have access to these advanced technologies due to higher prices and due to which those who have access to technologies become more advanced and others left behind due to no access and this leads to technological division.

Health issues:
Technology has also advanced and improved the medical facilities but along with advancement it has also many drawbacks. Such as lasers, ultrasounds and many more treatments done with advanced technology bring many other diseases with it and overall increase health issues.

Job displacement:
Technology has replaced many jobs and due to advanced technologies many jobs that were earlier done by humans are now done by machines and robots which has produced job displacement. Many people having degrees and expertise have no value and jobs due to advanced technology. If machines can do a job for free, why would someone need a slow human to work and pay them?

Privacy concerns:
Nowadays humans are more dependent on technology and have made their private life totally open. They upload each and everything to social media such as where they go, with whom they meet, who are their close friends etc are all uploaded to social media which increases the risk of leaking their private information and people can misuse it which creates privacy concerns.

Environmental impact:
Technology is advancing day by day and people are making good use of it but the use has become more and now this overuse is impacting our environment in many ways such as, excessive use of energy, water and air pollution due to increased industries and many other technological uses that harm our environment.
