Warding off Negative Impact of Technology


This article examines the overall negative impact of technology concerning our society and culture. Experts and professionals who came together in a three-day conference involving the opinion of students were discussing the issue concerning the impact of technology. Throughout this article the issue of technology’s effect on education is discussed, the experts claim that technology is booming and developing incredibly fast and that our society might not be able to follow. The expert Shaikh Mahyan states “ As the conference clearly demonstrates, worldwide trends in technology and communication pose serious challenges for the development of our educational system. Mahyan claims that even if one is trying to keep the distance from technology and live his/her life on a natural basis, it is really difficult to do so because technology is ‘catching’ us in every part of our life’s. “It is impossible to stay isolated from the rest of the world”. This statement means that even if we would try to ‘isolate’ our selves from the world – the technology world, it would be very hard or even ‘impossible’.
This is only one out of many themes concerning technology and how it has taken the control of our society but shouldn’t we be the ones controlling the ‘robot’?
