Why is technology debilitating one’s mind and its abilities?

Technology is good as it eases the work of an individual and enhances speed and efficiency. But now a days technology is transforming, and similarly human abilities are transforming with these new technologies. There is an old saying that technology is deemed to be the malediction for human abilities and mind. In the archaic world, humans were able to do all their work on their own but today they have started to rely on different types of technologies for their work. These technologies have affected our society both economically and socially.

From many years technology is corroding our mind. The telephone is considered to be one of the best inventions of all time, but we don’t know that this invention has cut all our threads from society. Telephones are now mutated to smartphones and these smartphones not only raise our mental power but also affect our physical health. Now a person without a smartphone is like a person without a lifeline. It has become a need, a need which is more important than your friends, family, and colleagues. Similarly, calculators have deteriorated our ability to do calculations mentally. For every small calculation we open the calculator and start calculating, this majorly happens because our self-confidence in these calculations has abated. We are not willing to accept that our capabilities are been affected by such technologies because of their speed and efficiency.

We should be careful and watchful toward its use, and we should also be aware of its advantages and disadvantages.

As Albert Einstein had quoted that

"No mouse would ever construct a mouse trap."
