Today, information technology plays an important role in our life, whether at home, office, or in some fun activity, life is incomplete without it. However, people are getting addicted to it that they are ignoring the physical world around them. This essay will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of Information technology.
Globalization is spreading faster than ever with the improvement in the internet and computer efficiency and availability. Despite people living far from each other, they are connected virtually. Platforms such as Facebook, people are tied to each other more than ever before, they can share or see each other life experiences. Further, this is not limited to personal life but offices are also well connected with fast internet. Employees who are working remotely from home can work for another country; this is all possible because of a rapid increase in technology.
On the other side, machines are physically disconnecting everyone and people are struggling to maintain healthy relations with their family and friends. Even though individuals can connect to anyone from anywhere, human touch and actual presence are missing in their life. Due to excessive time spent on technology, people often find themselves that they are not able to spend enough time with their loved ones, which deteriorates their personal life. In recently published research, it is found that one of the major reasons for depression in youth is social media.
In conclusion, although people are occupied more with information technology and disconnected from each other physically, it has provided them several benefits to socialize and expand their world virtually. I believe if we use it intelligently and carefully, it can change our life drastically.
