Technological Evolution Has Become A Bad Influence For The People

        People invented technology to help them do their daily activities and today technology has become a part of human live. Throughout the years, technology has evolved to be what it is today. In the old times there are only a telegraph that can only send message, a steam engine that start the industrial evolution, and the calculator that can help us calculate. Today, all of that technology has evolved. Today, we have a smartphone that can send voice to other gadget, a car that can help us get to other place faster, an internet that connect us to the world, and a computer that can help us do our work. People always try to evolve the technology to help other us in doing our job and make our daily lives easier. But the truth is, not all of the technological evolution is good for people. For some reason, some of the technological evolution has become a bad influence for the people.
        We can take the gadget evolution as the first reason of why the technological advancement is bad for human. In the old times, we use gadget to connect with other people that far from use and we use it for that purpose only. But right now, because gadget had evolved and enable us to do many things other than communicating, people got too occupied with their own gadget and almost forget the people around them and things that happen around them. A lot of people, especially younger people, seems to think that gadget is more important than other things that affect their relationship to other people. We can take an example of when we meet our family in one of the holiday. The best thing to do is use that time to communicate with their family to know their condition in the year, but some people use that time to play with their gadget and didn’t even try to talk to their family in that time. Or when our neighborhood made some event to commemorate something, some of us didn’t use this event to know more about people that lives around them, they just too occupied with their own gadget to care about things like that. This is what happen right now to the people in the world when the gadget evolved to be what it is right now. People has become ignorant to the people around them.
Another reason that we can use is the evolution of the internet. It is true that the internet can connect us to the world and enable us to communicate to other people in other places with a social media. Because of that internet should be a good influence for people right? But in their practice internet has become a bad influence for people especially younger people. There are many reason why internet is bad for people. The first one is cyber bullying. This has already happened to the young people around the world since the social media came out, and it has been the main problem in the internet that makes a lot of young people committed suicide around the world. The second example is the children doing thing that they see in the internet even though it is bad or even dangerous. We can take the old incident of when some children died because they attempted to do some move that they saw from the internet. When they asked to why they do it, they say that because it seems fun to do and the move is awesome. Or when the children start to use swear words in their conversation even though they didn’t know what it means. They know it because they hear it from the internet and they thought that it seems cool so they use it in daily conversation.
The main reason why technological evolution is bad for people is because it makes us more dependent on them to do our daily activities. Of course we evolve technologies for that purpose, to help people do their daily activities easier, but it makes us more dependent on the technologies that help us in our daily life.  If we lose our cellphone, we will feel if the world is devoid of life. We will feel that we are disconnected from the world around us. It all happen because we lose our cellphone that has help us in our daily lives. Or when we didn’t have a car that can help us go to other place faster. We will feel as if all places is far from us, even though it isn’t. It happened because we are too dependent on car to help us go to one place to the other. Or when suddenly we lose the internet. We will feel as if the world has been cut off from us, and it all happen because the internet is not working when we want to use it. The example above is what happened when people lose the technology in this era. We will feel that some part of our life is lost because the technology that help us connect to it or help us do it is lost from our grasp. This happen because we become too dependent on the technology that help us today, and it has become a bad thing for us.
The reason in the paragraph above show us the reason why technological evolution is bad for people. It has become a bad influence for people because they cannot divide the technology from their activities. Because they have used the technology since their early lives, they get more dependent on the technology, as the times goes on, to do their daily activities. They let the technology dictate how they do something, and sometimes they get too immerse in the technology that they forgot the reality that moves around them. That makes the technological evolution to be a bad influence for the people that use it. The main problem of why the technology has become a bad influence for the people is because the people that use it didn’t know how to use the technology as the way it mean to be. Even though the technology is made with the good intention, when people use it in a bad way it will be bad influence for them. Like the gadget, gadget is made so people can communicate to other people that is far from them, but when the people get too immerse to the gadget they tend to forget the people around them whether it’s their families or their friend.  Because of that we need to use the technology in the way that it mean to be so the technologies will not be a bad influence for the people that using it and we cannot let the technology dictate how we do things. Remember, people invented the technology not the technology that invented people.
