There is a lot of debate rather techonology is a good thing or a bad thing. Many people say technology has a baf effect on our life – me communicate less and relay way too much on technology in our daily life.

Technology change

We are all familiar with the change technology has made in our life, it is everywhere and you just can’t ignore it! People saying it is bad because it tears society apart – everyone is on their phone, not communicating with each other and just stare at the screen.

Every change in our life is a little bit scary, so I do understand why people are a bit scared of tech (especially with all of AI stuff going around). At the start of the industrial revolution everybody started reading the newspaper because there were a lot more available – people thought back then that reading the newspaper will tear us apart because everyone had their heads inside the newspaper, but we now that as for today, if you even read any kind of newspaper – you are considered sophisticated.

My Story

So, as you can understand from the article, I am going to write about the time technology saved my life. Back in 2013, I was hiking mountains. I have been hiking ever since 1970 when I did not have the appropriate technology. Back in the 70s, we didn’t have communication equipment as we do today. The news said it was going to be a harsh storm in that day, But I must admit I didn’t listen and went hiking anyway. In the first 40 minutes, everything seemed fine – just a little bit windy. It was only after I have climbed half the mountain that the weather got really bad. I was really scared and I did not know what should I do – should I keep going up or just give it up and go down? Climbers never give up – I went up. The weather just kept getting worse and worse as I got up there – it was freezing and I could barely move! Slowly I felt like I could not move anymore – I thought I am a goner. But then I remembered something that saved my life – technology. It was the first time I have traveled with a cellphone. Luckily I had reception and I could call a rescue team. They quickly came and got me. They took care of me and made sure I rested and after a few hours I was sent back home – I just can’t believe how lucky I got!

My opnion – is technology good or bad?

So what do I think – is technology is good or bad? Well just like any other thing I feel like it is important to balance it. If you use anything too much it becomes unhealthy. I will be the last person to tell you not to use technology, but I will also be the last to tell you to use it all time – it is all about moderation. I try to use technology just the amount I need and not even a little than it.
