We all are living in the golden era of technology, nobody in the human history has witnessed
the transition the technology have made to our very own world. Despite of all known evolution
and modernization this technology has brought in, some would still argue that, technology brought
quandaries and complications into the trivial world which has become obsolete now. After weighing the
facts on both sides, it is certain that technology has solved innumerable problems then the very own
problem they brought in.
To begin, Consider the period of 1990's decade, It was revered as the golden time of modern history,
achieving this at most praise for the Internet boom that happened in this period. People who were
lacking a penny, were raised to acme of pecuniary with their internet knowledge. Before this modern
era, a common way of solving an unknown problem is to meet the experienced and to get sort it out. This
had many disadvantages such as profiligation of time, and more often it is almost impossible to find the
person who has the knowledge to solve it. With the power of internet as we witness nowadays, many problems
can be made obsolete just within a minute. What kind of a problem does this internet technology cannot solve?
Even the current generation children agrees to the aphorism "Internet is the World!! and World is in the internet!!".
Moreover, the technology although brings in some side effects with it, the side effects will eventually be
shredded with time by a newer technology that supersede the older one. For example, Let us consider the
effects of eye sightedness. When a person loses power or gains it, an optometrist will prescribe an lenses or
glasses for comprehending it. Although this technology solves the eye problem, there arise a problem of some
alien object sticking right in our face. This was solved by a newer technology the laser surgery, it was a
popular and perversed application for the eye problems that had no side effects onto it. Thus even though a
technology presents itself with a problem, with the time flow a far more powerful technology will make the
problems go null.
Some would support the statement the technology presents more problem than solving it by pointing to
the global warming and ozone layer depletion problems due to ever increased pollution. Is it not true
that we are seeing an unprecedented approach for making our world a green planet. If this problem hasn't
been arrived a far more superior technology of electric cars and greener, Eco-friendly industries have not
made into the topmost aspiring objectives of today's generation.
In essence, It is the problems that have been solved holds a higher number than the problem that been
observed owing to the technology. The examples of Internet, and technology applied in the medical field
all convey that more problems has been solved than being grown. An World cannot thrive without the technology
that overcomes the obstacle being thrown at it and so does our history complies with it.
