Resected Principal, worthy teachers and my dear friends.
Good morning !
No doubt, science and technology are progressing by leaps and bounds. Technology plays a very dominant role in the society. It is spreading its tentacles in every field. There is a drastic change in each & every field due to rapid advancement in technology. Technology has impacted our social life to a great extent with both positive and negative consequences.
It has made a remarkable progress in the field of communication. Social media sites such as Factbook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc has facilitated the communication to the distant places even overseas over the Internet. It has made easier for people to connect and communicate with each other irrespective of geographical area. However, personal relations among them has decreased. More and more new or old friends are being connected with us, having false relationship. It has totally revolutionized human existence.
It is not just in communication that technology has impacted us. With the invention of mobile phones, children are becoming more prone to or addicted to it. Video games are the main attraction for the children, that has an adverse effect on their health and academics. As a result of it, there is a significant decline in their physical activities. They are turning aggressive by nature. What's more, technology has proved its development in the field of medicines. It has invented the drugs of various diseases or illnesses which was incurable earlier. However, due to excessive use of technology people are becoming couch potatoes and obesity is the main cause of concern in the society. When all the time is Spent sitting, then obviously there is lack of physical and mental growth due to no physical activity along with various other diseases. Also, Moral Values are vanishing from the society day by day.
Thus, technology has both positive and negative impact on our lives. We need to chennalise our focus on positive effects and need to constantly coping with negative effects generating by it.
Thank you.
