When a country develops its technology , the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive . To what extend do you agree or disagree?

The world is rapidly progressing nowadays and so is technology. Use of mobile phones, applications and internet is ubiquitous. With a single click, you can approach any kind of medium you require. It has made life lot simpler by connecting people who live far apart, being able to access all kinds of information from internet, online shopping and enriching lives with various entertainment sources. Hence it has taken a major chunk of our lives.

On one hand, technology has simplified our lives to a great degree. We can easily browse and buy things online and have them delivered at our door step, which saves us a trip to the markets. We can upload and share pictures easily. We can apply for jobs and give online interviews from anywhere in the world. We can search information and have access to news . And to top the list, we have mobile applications which help us write messages, set alarms and make notes for us. Who had ever imagined this would happen one day ! That's the magic of technology; Our lives have become oversimplified.

On the other hand, consuming our lives greatly it also brings it's hazards. The use of technology has made us extremely lazy. With technology doing all our chores, we only need to command. It is increasing the incidence of obesity and diseases among people.
Moreover , technology has made us so preoccupied that we have forgotten what real relationships are like. Instead of driving over to a friend's house, we prefer to say hi over voice texts. We spend more time over social media than with people in real. Two siblings sitting in the same room will be glued to their mobiles, checking social media updates , not having anything to say to each other. The idea of giving check in statuses when you go out with friends makes people so paranoid that they forget what it is actually like to enjoy food and company of people. Life revolves more around the pictures you post on social media and the comments you receive. How deeply saddening it is that you may chat with people on social networks like real buddies but have nothing to say to them when meeting in person. Instead of having quality conversations with our family, we prefer playing video games and watching television shows together Apparently, social networking may have improved our communication skills and increased our friends circle, but in reality it has made us lonely and superficial.

Though we do not realize the grave damage technology is doing to us, i believe it is still in our hands to steer our own boats. Realizing the comforts and advantages it brings to us, we need to control its usage to prevent its negative influence. Calling people up and meeting them in person should always be a priority. Heart to heart conversations with family and friends should hold more value than taking pictures and posting them on social media or tagging friends in memes. Playing a video game with siblings should be replaced by going for a long walk . In a nutshell, we should look for ways to bond together and live well.

Therefore in my opinion, no matter how strong the influence of technology is, if we take proper measures we can prevent it from taking charge of our social and personal lives. To strike a balance should be the ultimate motto.
