Almost the entirety of everything we use in our world today is thanks to technology. Thanks to technology, our work and other livelihoods have been made easier. Take a look around you and tell me what aspect of your life you don’t require technology for, it’s going to be very few and you I know that for a fact.
Right from our homes that is the food we eat, to our means of transportation, communication, our hobbies and many more have an aspect of technology involved. I remember when I used to be so happy to go to put ICT lab back in primary school because then, seeing a computer and even using one was a luxury for most of us. Today, almost everyone including kids have the luxury of using any electronic device or their liking. As they say, everything has its advantages and disadvantages and technology isn’t left out in this one.
Today , let’s talk about the good parts. You’d agree with me that technology has provided us with some level of ease in our activities. God knows I used to hate having to grind tomatoes, onions and pepper in an earthenware bowl for my mother anytime we were prepaying our meals. It took a lot of time and I also had to use the little energy I had to do that. At the end of the day, she would still say it wasn’t done well. And don’t even he started on the days we had to pound fufu(swallow) for hours because my uncle was visiting us and that was his favorite meal.
Today, we don’t even have to stress about any of these thanks to blenders and other machines. As currently have machines for all these things. Our cooking has been made easier and time saving. I don’t know else one would wish for aside this. I know there are someone people out there who will still prefer to do all these things manually because they don’t want to be lazy. I on the other hand will always pay for my ease because there’s no award for who suffered or is suffering the most.
Once I know something will make my life easier and I can afford it, I’m gonna get it because why not? You and I both know that even if I don’t buy it, someone will buy it. Technology isn’t our enemy- it’s here to provide us with ease and save time we could use for other important stuff life having fun with our family. If you wish to walk all the way to work or grind your vegetables and all, have at it. I will book the closest and most convenient ride for my trips, I will buy the latest appliances and any other thing that will make my life easy
Talking of creativity, humans aren’t losing and haven’t lost our creativity because we are the same people coming up with all these amazing tools for our own benefit. If anything, we are getting more creative by the day. Technology is here to say, let’s embrace it and use it to our advantage.
