For me, advance technology had given man the chance to live their lives at their fullest. It is the most complex thing for humanity nowadays. It brings advantages and disadvantages at the same time. "A tooth for a tooth": that is the most accurate way to describe what technology is. Cars may reduce time for a man to reach his destination, but it also causes air pollution. Internet may be used for upgrade one's knowledge or it may be the cause of one's laziness. Some think of technology as the one that leads humans to their doom and some thinks otherwise.
Let me rephrase the thought: humans are the one leading to their own destruction and humans are the one who promotes life. I am one of the people who uses technology for my own benefit. One of the technology that really helped me emotionally, physically, mentally and socially is my laptop. I call the laptop "The Impossible-Doer" , since it does things that I can't possibly do without the help of it. This may seem comical but my laptop really helped me a lot to become a better person. Normally, people would change their attitude through the help of their friends, experiences and other realistic events. I changed not because of a living thing but because of the presence of the laptop.
For instance, I changed my view in life because of the stories that I read in the internet. I used to be the shy type, slyly talking with a very soft voice, hardly participates in any activity that includes groups of people. To be more specific, I wasn't shy, I was afraid: Afraid of being rejected, to feel so unimportant, to feel so out of place, to be criticized and to be hated of what and who I am. Being so unsociable, I read stories in the internet that mainly focuses on friends, family, love, hate and society. It was then that my mind was fed up with lots of new morale, like, you don't need to pretend and please other people. You need them to love you for who you are, otherwise, your life would be lie.
It also helped me gain lots and lots and LOTS of trivia and facts. Plus, it also helps me in finishing my assignments and projects. Although there is just a little possibility that I can share the knowledge that I gained by the use of laptop, I still kept them inside my head, hoping that one day, those'll be of help.
Physically, my laptop is my doctor. I consult it of what I feel, search for what it is and then BOOM! In just a glimpse, I have a clue of what I'm suffering for. I can make the alternative medicine myself and see if it'll make me better. Although this is not prescribed, I do things my way, knowing that my illness is not something that might cause death.
One of the most important help that my laptop lend me is: how to be sociable. By the use of laptop, I can chat my friends from Canada, Texas, Mexico, Malaysia, and Florida. I am aware of how to treat people nicely. I know how to face them with my head raised up. I know how to react to their problems and respond with my heart. Even when we are apart, through chat, I can still deliver my heart into my letters.
I know that maybe I am just referring to the internet and not to the laptop. But in my defense, there'll be no internet if not for the laptop, so my thanks is still to the inventor of laptop.
Technology is something that maybe useful or harmful. It is in our hands whether they'll be on what-category. I support the advancement of technology given that it is in use for the good. I hope that there'll be someone else like me who will appreciate how technology helps in our daily lives and use them for improving themselves.
