Modern Technology: Good & Bad For Humanity

Hi! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be talking about modern technology, and the pros and cons of it. I will also share some of my experiences with modern technology as well as what it was like in the olden days, where there was no technology.


First, when I refer to modern technology, I am talking about things like AI ( Artificial Intelligence ), VR ( Virtual Reality ), mobile technology and more.


The main advantage of modern technology is that it is very useful. For example, AI technology can be useful for several things. Chat GPT is an example of AI and it can be useful for researching and learning new information. Also, it can help answer questions that you might have on various topics. In addition, modern technology can be entertaining. For example, VR is highly entertaining. Yesterday, I went with my friends to a VR place to play a game. It was a Christmas themed VR, and we had to try and solve clues to complete our quest. The VR was so realistic that everyone had an absolutely amazing experience.


There are also many cons of modern technology. Let’s go back to AI. It can be very dangerous, since AI technology can do many things. For example, it can mimic the voice of an actual human being, making it dangerous. Also, due to the fact that AI technology can give so much information, it could encourage people not to use their brains to learn, but to use AI technology instead. As a result, AI could pose a threat to humanity in many ways.


Back in the olden days, there was no technology. If you wanted to deliver mail, you would have to get a horse and deliver the handwritten letter. Newer technology such as mobiles have definitely helped with efficiency and communication. For example, people no longer have to ride on a horse for an extremely long time just to deliver mail. Instead, they can just send text messages. Also, modern technology can easily help you find research and books that you can’t find physical copies of. However, mobile technology can also get people addicted to many things that are of no use, which is not a great thing.


As I mentioned earlier, modern technology has pros and cons. It could benefit or destroy humanity. Our goal as human beings should be to be cautious of the development of modern technology, particularly AI and to ensure that we use it only for beneficial reasons.
