I agree that technology designed to make people's live simpler often turns out to make them more complicated. Some people may say that developing technology is essential living modern world. However, technology itself often evolves without considering the human. Also the more technology has been developing, the more the human should learn complex skills to handle that.
First of all, technology itself often evolves without considering the human. Today, technology competition has a common between businesses. Many companies spend a lot of money on developing new technology. Thus, unlimited capital flows into to develop new technology and business which invested a lot of money to develop technology would try to earn profits. However, most consumers have difficult catching up with their new technology. This is because, the new technology often demand a lot of training to handle products. Under situation, the technology development and capital`s flow only evolves. In conclusion, these makes human lag behind.
Second, the more technology has been developing, the more the human should learn complex skills to handle that. When I was in the first year of college, it was enough to handle two software programs in computer field. However, When I was senior student, I should handle more than five software programs in computer part to enter the company. However I did not feel convenience even though a lot of new software programs were developed. It means that new technology did not make ours more convenience.
In conclusion, I agree that technology designed to make people's live simpler often turns out to make them more complicated. This is because technology itself often evolves without considering the human. In addition, the more technology has been developing, the more the human should learn complex skills to handle that. |
