The urge to see immediate benefits causes people to choose fast, temporary fixes over the hard work of long term development. Stiff competition, tight deadlines, and societal pressure to "succeed faster" push individuals and professionals to bypass standard protocols. This makes people to look out for shortcuts. Long-term paths require perseverance, patience, and resilience. People often take shortcuts to skip the necessary struggle or tedium of a process. However, our old school of thoughts always taught us to avoid shortcuts, but todays generation heavenly rely on easing their work and opt for easy way than doing long process, which is ultimately ruining the efforts.

Few days ago, I asked my 12 years nephew to solve a Maths problem. Be was quick to get me the answer but when I asked him the process, he unable to clarify me. He outsmart me by getting the help of google and getting the answer than genuinely putting his effort in solving. During my childhood days, we used to practice a lot of math question on rough worksheet. I remember there used to be a sack of old copies with maths practices. My Dad used to say, unless and until we wont do manually we wont learn the real mathematics. Those time, we do not have the privilege of getting an assistance, as kids of todays time. The advancement of technology has genuinely reduces the effort and ease all the work. Be it learning or be it applying your brain. Putting a restriction in our thought process.
AI can give you a thousand options, but it can't tell you which one feels honest.
Last few year the sudden shifting to technology to is fundamentally transforming society by reshaping how we live, work, and interact. However there is always two sides of a a coin and so does in this case. While the technology dependency boosts economic productivity, advances healthcare, and accelerates innovation, it also presents major challenges to the way to love in our society. One of the major concern that I see, is the way it is ruining the human creativity. Like in the above case of solving maths problem, we learned that there are numerous way of solving a problem. But todays time, the kids unable to find otyer ways except the way they learned from the AI pr other technological means. This indicates, that while technology provides powerful tools, relying on it heavily can hinder the brain’s ability to generate original ideas, process information deeply, and take creative risks.
Imagination is a muscle; use it or lose it
Having instant access to information limits out-of-the-box thinking. Studies show that when people search for ideas online, they become "fixed" on existing answers, which restricts them from coming up with completely unique or unrelated solutions. Relying on smartphones and search engines means we no longer need to use our minds to mentally connect information or think through complex problems. With artificial intelligence readily available to write, draw, or design, people may forsake the trial-and-error process, leading to generic outputs that lack genuine human emotion and originality.
I believe it is the time, to understand that, automating our tasks makes daily life effortless, but the hidden "price" is often a loss of fundamental skills, increased system vulnerabilities, or heavy reliance on external tools. Thereby affecting our overall progress.
In good faith - Peace!!
