The world has completely changed so much in the
past few decades, and one of those changes is the
advancement of technologies that we can use. We
already live in a modernized world where technology is
very rampant nowadays, and it is continuously
improving, enhancing, and updating to a much better
version of itself that makes people interested in having
it. They are creations available to everyone that
provide a faster way to finish a certain task in just a
couple of periods of time. Cellphones and computers
are two of the technologies that are widely accessible.
They are used by millions of people for their work,
studies, and just ordinary daily usage. They both have a
significant influence on our society since they have
many benefits to offer the public, but they also have
downsides because they contain some components
that produce negativity the more we use them and the
more time we use them in a day. Today we were going
to discuss and share information on whether
cellphones and computers are a boon or a bane. Either
we must continue to use them or we must stop using
them.
To begin with, a cellphone is a handheld device that is
lightweight and easy to carry everywhere. Its benefits and
advantages start with its highly portable and affordable
nature, providing many useful things we can do with a
single small technology. Having one would help us easily
communicate with our family, friends, and other people
through calls, video calls, text, and chats. It takes our
boredom away because of its many features, especially
when accessing it with the internet, where it can have
better access to it via cellphone. This lets us be connected
to the public, keeps us updated on what is happening
around us, promotes business, and much more through
social media platforms. This may be extremely useful in an
emergency since it allows for quick and easy
communication. Speaking about communication, this
greatly helps, as in the present as a pandemic has brought
hardships in seeing face-to-face. This technology has
become a source of communication in different aspects of
human life, like students' ability to continue studying and
professionals' ability to work from home. Cellphones have
become a worldwide thing for the public as they provide
help, stay connected with the public, learning opportunities,
and a foundation for an easy life that is widely accepted and
normative to have.
Moving on to the next, a computer is an electronic and
heavyweight device that lets us store, retrieve, and process
data. We frequently see them in buildings, offices, industries,
and various fields. Computers help and give benefits to
workers, professionals, students, government officials, and
ordinary people because their purposes can be used in various
environments. Specifically, it is almost necessary to use it in
every domain, field, sector, schools, workplace, and across
industries, such as medical facilities, government offices, and
many households. They are used for a variety of tasks,
applications, and activities to enhance productivity in all
aspects of the social process. Computers play a huge part and
impact our lives in different ways because of their smooth
performance and many components or features that we can
access. Examples of them are: being able to surf the internet,
watching videos, typing with our paper work, communication,
and many more. We may not notice it all the time, but they do
make life a lot easier. Without computers, the world would be
a harder place to live in. We may not notice it, but computers
greatly help to make life easier. Thanks to computers, we are
able to do tasks, activities, or anything on a regular basis. Lots
of people may disagree, especially those who don't have like
me, but we still benefited because services around the world
used computers. Computers are a technological advancement
that has enabled the possibilities to become a reality.
On the other hand, technologies, such as the cell phone
and computer, have paved the way to making our day-to-
day easier and more efficient. However, when there is good,
there is also a bad effect of too much usage of these two
mobile technologies. As we are all already in an era of
modernization where lots of inventions have become
prevalent. These make people depend too much on them
and make the users lazy. Past practices where everything
needed to be done by hand, like in communication, which is
by writing letters, and people before were always outside
interacting with others, but now with cell phones or
computers, people choose to stay at home. This is capable
of making someone addicted and isolating the user, which
may affect our productivity. As a result, we waste time and
are unable to complete tasks that we should have
completed. Furthermore, spending too much time staring at
screens can also affect our eyes because of the blue light
emitting from the screen, and excessive exposure to this
blue light can have the risk of harming our eyes, which can
result in blurry vision. Long screen times may negatively
affect our brain's functioning, but it can also pose multiple
health risks in the long run. Otherwise, we should balance
and control the daily usage of our cell phones or computers
in order to get continuous benefits from them.
To summarize it all, technologies have given
us greatly increased possibilities that are
endless for the public. It has its own set of
benefits and drawbacks, but how individuals
utilize them is what matters. Cell phones and
laptops may be both boon and bane. We can't
be certain because they can both be the two.
But we should just let us decide on our own
because it depends on how we think of it as a
user. Our actions will reveal whether or not our
lives are a blessing or a curse. We have
variances in how we use the technology that
we have. We have our own knowledge about
them, and our characteristics are not the same,
which have a big role in making them an
advantage or a disadvantage in the future.
Remember that knowing our limits makes you
a responsible user.
