A Bad Master or A Good Servant?
Technology has always been a great help to mankind, from communication to connectivity to our daily dose of entertainment. The world has grown
leaps and bounds only due to various new technological advancements. During the current pandemic, schools, colleges, offices and other places have
been shut since 2 months and the only remaining way to connect without direct human contact, is through technology. It has played a great role in
connecting us to the world, our friends and even school. It has paved a way for the world to go on. However, even a casual conversation now requires
technology’s assistance. At least three hours to even twelve hours are spent daily either for online education or on online business meetings even
though the maximum recommended time spent should be 2 hours. Thus, technology has taken over a major part of our daily routines. During this
pandemic we have no way but to use technology as an alternative. However, considering the current scenario, we assume the lockdown may extend
for a very long time and hence excessive use of technology will continue. This can cause various diseases such as eye strain and migraine. Poor
posture can cause chronic back or neck pains. It may also cause insomnia or sleep disorders and because it is extremely addictive these cases might
be severe. If the average amount of screen time for a person is 3- 4 hours daily then in just a few weeks it will become addictive. So, after the
pandemic ends, the question remains, will this overpower us? Will excessive screen time still remain in our routines? Will it become a habit? And will
it take over our social lives??The answer to most of these questions is “YES!!”. Thus, I conclude that if our daily screen time is not reduced, it will
cause havoc with our lives. If used judiciously, it can be a very good servant but if allowed unchecked, it will be a very bad master!!!
