Some scientists refer to the advancement of technology as a disaster, while some refer to it as a blessing. We consume technology almost at every breath. Some love it, and some are still trying to figure out a way to follow a minimalistic approach and get the job done.
What are your thoughts on where we are heading with this technology phase?

Technology helps us save time. great opportunity for learning
If talk about cons, one of the biggest ones is that it is addicting. Gaming, surfing, movie streaming. people are so much obsessed with these activities that it is becoming unhealthy

Pros : Saves time
Cons : Extreme dependability
@mubashir_memon That's one major point highlighted.
If used mindfully and judiciously, technology is a boon.
@big_chill Definitely. One needs to be wise enough to use technology in a better direction.
The role of technology fostering economic progress is difficult to deny and also technology has allowed humans to travel faster and trade goods all over the world.
@gajanan_sawale Certainly. It is making businesses transparent in all aspects.
Smaller. Better. Faster.
Everything has their own pros and cons, technology can make you a tech addict so you'll never want to do anything by your own; at the same time it can also help you make your life easy and save your time by managing things in lesser time.
Technology has made our life very easy.
But also, very addictive & can be a Distraction.
@chetana_murthy Yes. It's amazing to see innovations all around.
The pro is technology allows us to do things we previously could not.
The con is we (sometimes) allow technology to control us rather that us controlling technology.
Use any tool consciously.
Technology is the application of knowledge to reach practical goals in a specifiable and reproducible way.
Pros :-
- Productivity increases
- Saves Time
- Communication becomes easy
- Can help in reaching more clients
- Financial transactions are easier and more secure
- AI
Cons :-
- Can be bad for the environment
- Automation can reduce human requirement in jobs
- Students can lose focus (distraction from studies)
- Social Disconnect
- Data security and privacy problems
Technology runs the world and at this point, technological advances in any field are inevitable. Imagining a world without technology would be virtually impossible at this state in time because of how it surrounds us and how we rely so heavily on it in our day-to-day life.
However on the other hand, since technology makes information so readily available, it makes people more prone to procrastination. Although it may seem favorable, when that reliability diminishes it becomes a problem.
Pros: Convenience ! Ease of Use !
Cons: Over dependence and everything from the movie Terminator
@tom_pathadan Yess! Whatever environment we are exposing ourselves into is something that we are deciding to put forth. The only climax is to actually experience the impact.
Technology has made the evolution of human species possible and is responsible for making us what we are today. It seems impossible to imagine that humankind was able to reach the moon in just 70 years after the invention of the first aircraft.
While there are countless examples of the benefits of technology in fields like Medical Science, Communication etc. one cannot ignore the fact that technology has made humans be less connected to nature. Technology is like a tool which can be used for both constructive and destructive reasons. It comes down to our choice of how we use it and to what extent we use it.
What I believe is any advancement is good only. The use of the newfound tech is what makes it good or bad. So ultimately it is people who make it good or bad.
so pros : less old problems
cons : more new problems
Pros: Automation controls the schedules and production lines without human interference. The program can reduce cost and optimize the schedule to reduce defects and inefficiencies, creating better quality products.
Cons: People are losing job, spending insane amount of money on the set up and environmental concerns have taken a back seat.
@aishwarya_naudiyal You got a high-end observation here and that really puts the question -- How are we balancing things with the environment?
Technology is a great leveller and has helped save countless lives. Any cons that arise out of technology are outweighed by pros in my opinion
@krithik_suvarna2k Quite an insight. Cons are actually the problems that need to be resolved. Brainstorming already!!
Technology is created for a reason to fulfill the required needs of society or individual people. It also helps and makes our daily routine at least a bit more bearable. Because of those reasons, we become dependent on inventions in technology which makes us more controllable and predictable. 🧌
