We live in the age of technology. With every minute tickling away, more and more sophisticated gadgets are being developed to make life easy. From cooking to cleaning, from medicine to marketing, there isn’t a field without the presence of technology. Internet has made earth a Global village. With every corner connected, we can stay in touch with our kith and kin no matter how far away they are. If technology brings people closer, then why are the human values reducing. We prefer to stay hours together in social networking sites, chatting with an unknown friend from an unknown country but we run out of topics while talking with our relatives. Technology has even reduced the distance between Mars and Earth but ultimately distanced us from our neighbors. Family ceremonies and get-together have long lost their original meaning.
We, human beings are distinguished from robots by our ability to recognize people and share feelings with them. Now that technology has shaped a scenario where that basic sense of human feeling is lost, then in what way are we different from a robot? Is this what we actually expected out of technology? It has provided simple solutions to many complicated problems that we face in our day-to-day lives. But regrettably, it has complicated our simple way of living. It’s high time we realize the actual the importance of values and ethics. “Remove the weeds before it is too late”. Only when we comprehend and mark the difference now, the future generation will enjoy the privilege of having human relationships.
