Technology. A virus or a cure?

One of my many questions that remains unanswered is this one. Is technology really a virus or a cure? I'd like to say both and it's true.


Besides its revolutionary introductory, technology changes the way we as humans place ourselves in everyday situations. Technology has brought both, an answer to the unquestionable but also a rising, problematic issue.


Technology has disguised itself into everyday situations that seem simple to do by creating it into a little gizmo. Take a mobile for example. It implemented more manageable communication with two or more people. But now is being used for various other objectives that disguise its sole purpose.


Technology, yes, creates a much easier lifestyle for lots of people and creates connections online but disconnects us from the real people in our lives.


We benefit from technology ways I really can't number including entertainment purposes, but the virus that we created reveals to us how one piece of technology, be it a couple centimetres wide, establishes the distance between one another that no one can mend.


Why I address the invention that changed the 'inhumane ' ways people lived in the start as a virus? A virus takes control of cells in your body and increases. Once you understand the harm a virus can cause, you'd do anything to prevent from it. Technology, a virus? Possibly. Is there a cure? Once you know or experience the harm it causes, hopefully there is.

Thanks for reading!
