Technology is killing productivity

There are many facets of technology. Technology has many benefits as WELL as disadvantages. Technology is helpful to us in many ways. If we look at productivity from industrial and manufacturing POINT of view, technology has enhanced the productivity immensely. For example, in auto-industry, heavy vehicles and machinery manufacturing, electronics goods manufacturing, technology has done miracles. Companies PRODUCE goods FASTER and more efficiently. Similarly in all other fields such as defense, education, medicines, agriculture, MINING, fishing, infra-structure building, IT sector, and many more technology has enhanced productivity.

On the other hand, if we look at technology’s effect on man’s physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, they have been adversely affected by technology. Modern life-style and man's increasing dependence on technology have literally atrophied his intelligence. Not only intelligence, the effect of technology is visible on all aspects of his life. Machines, gadgets, vehicles, smart-phones, tabs, laptops, ac, blower, geyser, and whatnot, man cannot live for a second without technology.

As a consequence, he has become physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, emotionally weak! The present signs of his decadence do not augur well! If he fails to control his dependence on technology, he may become utterly incapable of surviving any longer on this planet. The ever increasing indexes of patients in the hospitals of the world is a red-sign for man. The need of the hour is man must learn to use technology wisely and appropriately. After all excess of everything is always bad!
