Negative Impact Of Modern Science And Technology On Human Society

Science and Technology

Modern technology has invented many appliances and machines which have made human life luxuriant and easy. We consider this technology a boon to the society but forget the laziness and inactiveness it has brought with it. Modern machines are replacing manual labour. Everyone has started taking it for granted and forgotten the importance of manual work to keep ourselves healthy and fit. We have become over dependent on machines which is making us both mentally and physically weak.

Robot

Think of the days when there were no machines to carry out the different works. The daily routine of a human was full of rigorous exercises and human effort which helped him become active and energetic. But with the replacement of manual labour by machines, the humans have started neglecting the talent and creativity inside them. That talent can flourish only if we practice it ourselves and not with some machine. The lifestyle of today has got no time for exercises and carries laziness and inactivity. Earlier, there were no computers to calculate, no robots for labour, no transport, no internet for communication. But still all these activities were carried out with human effort.

Computer

Internet has brought up many problems with it like hacking, spamming, phishing, internet crimes etc. It has become an open platform with no restrictions on the content displayed on the various websites. E-mails have left behind postal letters and communication has lost its personal touch. Satellite communication is like a miracle with which one is able to communicate with anyone living around any corner of the world. But earlier, humans had to make an effort and go manually to meet his/her relatives and friends.

But all these facilities have made us excessively dependent on technology which is affecting our health. Is it right to let machines do all the work instead of humans? Moreover, this has even lead to the problems of unemployment and poverty. Utilization of human brain and body is necessary for growth and development. The happiness achieved in striving for a particular aim cannot be felt with technology. Science has advanced to a level which was never imagined earlier by humans. But this advancement is not entirely a boon for the society. We should not neglect the problems it has brought up with it.
