In one word, technology is -
Machine. Everywhere. Accessible. Easy.
Technology has become a
concept, a lifestyle we live with. Its no more for the scientists only.
RESEARCHING vs GOOGLING?
| |
Bigger aspects of
things only part of researching
Technology is clumsy because
googling = not finding enough.
There are many more channels
to do proper research
THE MEDIUM
Its not anymore about the
content but the medium.
How you present/put it. How
it reaches to us (the consumers).
THE MASSAGE
SOCIAL MEDIA- Maximum work that youth do – Reading content,
then Viewing photos, videos, Commenting/replying others, Chatting/talking
online and so on.
We realize that we talk
maximum with our friends via social media, and maximum with our family face to
face.
THE SYMPTOMS OF
TECHNOLOGY INTOXICATED ZONE:
·
We Quick fix –
everything from religion to nutrition
·
We Fear and
worship technology – peer pressure?
Keep
updated with technology to show to the world.
“It
shapes our choice; it directs our actions” – we want to be fast all the time
and are becoming too dependent on technology. If it fails to function then we
get frustrated.
·
We Blur the
distinction between real & fake -
TV
Buddha (1974) - Nam June Paik – powerful example that illustrates the above.
We Accept violence as normal – should not be worried about violence. Technology has been used for entertainment (video games, visual graphics) – the player of the game enjoys it – violence is hidden in the façade of entertainment. Does this change our approach/perception of violence in real life?

·
We Love
technology as a toy – hand phones have become a toy (games)
·
We Live
distracted and distanced – Even we are together, we are always busy on our
smart phones which distract us from doing what we are meant to.
WHAT
WENT WRONG?
Using Technology
isn’t wrong.
We are the
ones responsible to determine how much of technology is to be used in our daily
lives. We should do it not because of fear of being left out but because we
need it.
The next question for you is that whether we (human being,,, you and me included) are aware the difference between what we need and what we want? How do we distinguish this two cat. in our daily life.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, with development of technology, the demands of human beings are increasing by the day. We want the latest of gadgets - laptops, smart phones, video games etc. To meet the standards of society, everyone wants to be updated with new technologies. However, this is what we WANT, not what we NEED. We are not aware of the difference between the two to some extent. We say that we NEED certain gadgets to perform certain tasks, but these are only for LUXURY and not a NECESSITY.
ReplyDeleteIn our daily life, for example, if we need to communicate with others then we can use a standard hand phone. This is what we need. However, we ask for the latest Iphone which has millions of applications and softwares for social networking for entertainment purposes. This is what we WANT.
Thus the difference is clear and man must understand this in order to restrict the usage of technology.
