Do changes that makes out lives easier not neccassarily make them better?

During the last century, numerous technological advances have been made that makes mankind’s life easier. These changes certainly simplify our lives but they don’t necessarily make it better.

With the publication of the internet, comes Email. Electronic mail has now become a part of our daily life. It enables us to communication with friends and family from far away land without delay. But as we communicate more and more, we get use to the fact that our family is just a click away. If check up on a friend is as simple as typing a message and press the send button instead of meeting them in person or calling them. Then we began to neglect social interaction and concentrate more on cyber interaction.

Over the past decade as America and the rest of the world enters the “information age”, more information is accessible by the general public. This certainly makes a research project a lot easier but with all these free information that is flowing around, it makes privacy harder. Also it becomes more difficult to protect someone from sensitive or offensive material, especially children. Because of all the information that is open, parents not only have to worry about what is hurting their children outside their house but also inside.

Technological advances diffidently make life easier, but it doesn’t make it better or safer, I would even argue that it makes it more dangerous. Some technology makes it harder to protect our children and even national security. On the health side, with obesity already a problem, computer games would certainly not help that problem. But these days we are so dependent on these technological changes that we sometime can’t even imagine how to survive without them. At least we don’t have to worry about our robot maids that decided not to follow direction and fights against us.
