 * Technology: A Boon or a Bane?**

God has given us the capacity and ability to do things and improve them as well. From the ancient times, our ancestors already had this we call technology or applied science. They had the things they used to survive. These said things were passed from generation to generation and were developed. At present, it is very obvious that we are experiencing a convenient life because of the various inventions done by the antiquated and chronicled men of our planet. Men have the computers, laptops, iPAD, flat screen TVs, 3G phones and many more. Human life is now very easy because of these contrivances. However, because of the said modern creations, people are becoming dependent on such. This event somehow provokes antagonistic things. They exercise their minds lesser than of what they used to be. They don’t think that much. People use the calculator whenever they compute. Furthermore, they use the internet in searching for the information they need instead of scanning more reliable books. Men just rely on the things modern technology can do for them. On the other hand, without this modern technology, different countries around the world would not be that productive. There would be a longer period of time spent in doing something. For instance, if these inventions are not present, communication would be hard. If we just simply depend on letters or telegrams sent through snail mail it would take time to disseminate certain information. Whereas, when we have our cellular phones, fax machines, and e-mail it will just take few seconds or minutes accomplish the said task. But then, due to the too much usage of this creations man are now experiencing illnesses not only physically but in all other aspects also. Men become ill physically because he doesn’t exercise his body that much. He simply sits down in front of his computer and does his work. Unluckily, such gadget produces radiation which can cause cancer. Human can also be socially ill for he spends more time in using e-mail or cellular phones in communicating. He does communicate but he doesn’t socialize. Spiritually ill is a man who does not know God anymore. He gives more importance on these material things than God to the point that his gadgets already become his Lord. Thus, aside from making our lives easy, technology likewise makes human lives worse. To sum up, technology can be either a boon or a bane. It is a boon in a sense that it makes our lives more accessible. It enables us to do things in lesser time and still retains the quality. But, it becomes a bane if human uses it in excess. It can exterminate our whole mind, soul and body. As the saying goes “Anything in excess is bad.” Thus, being a either a boon or a bane of technology depends on the person himself.
