As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the
ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate
Miarso
points out, technology is a process to upgrade an additional amount, that
process creates a product, the product’s result does not separate from the
other product which has already exist, so that’s why it is one of system’s
integral (Miarso, 2007: 62). Technology is one of way which can make something
to be more practice and faster. It is very useful for human’s job. In this
globalization era, we can find so many technologies that made by some
factories, for example smart phone, notebook, net book, laptop, and some
machines. Most of them are made in China and Japan. They have good benefit for
human, such as make easier to get information, as entertainment, media for
sharing, even be online shop. Although it brings many advantages for us, it
also brings bad impact. So, I agree if there is statement that using technology
to solve problems makes humans’ ability will be deteriorate.
The use of
technology is very common in this era, not only for adult, but also for
teenagers and children. Even though it makes our job to be easier, but we do
not aware that it affects to our personality or behavior. There are many
reasons for that statement. Most of bad impact is caused by user understanding
of etiquette and using of technology well is less. The first is technology
makes human be lazy for physical or social activity. It means that they just do
their activity by technology. For example, they should meet someone to talk
about something, they just call on hand phone or telephone to talk about
something with someone without meet him or her. The other example is when we
study English. If we do not know the meaning of some words, we have to open
dictionary, but it does not occur if we have smart phone, we can search on
electronic dictionary. It shows that there is no effort to be more diligent by
using technology.
The second
effect is decrease humans’ thought. It deals with human’s ability to have
critical thinking. For example, in 2003 when I was in third grade of Elementary
School, I have to memorize a multiplication and division of Mathematic from number
1 until number 10, and it was very useful for me to solve some questions of
Mathematic. Unfortunately, it is contrast with generations in this era. They do
no have effort to memorize both of them. They just find the answer by using
calculator, just because they have own calculator that designed in their pencil
case.
On the
other hand, bad impact of technology is wasting time. It shows in watching TV,
playing video games, etc. When we are watching TV or playing video games in a
time, it usually makes us forget to do something. Such as, actually we want to
do our assignment or homework, but we extend the time by watching TV or playing
video games, and finally our assignment or our homework has not done on time.
So, it means that technology wastes our time also if we do not use that as good
as possible.
As people
rely on technology in this modern era is very usual. Most of us always want to
solve our problems as fast as possible and practically. In
spite of that fact, we should be always aware to the disadvantages of using
technology. It is our duty to use technology as wise as possible to avoid and
prevent some bad impacts from that. So, the conclusion is do not
be over to suspend on technology. We may use that, but it doesn’t mean that we
always rely on technology to solve our problem. Therefore, we have to use
technology wisely.
