How Man Has Become the Slave of Technology

Have we become slaves of technology?
Technology can be defined as a body of knowledge used to create tools, develop skills, and extract or collect materials; the application of science (the combination of the scientific method and material) to meet an objective or solve a problem. In other words the application of scientific advances to benefit humanity. It influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share information which they would otherwise not be able to attain. Even if a person does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone. Technology itself is not being generated but a few creative minds who are innovative in nature creates technology or useful knowledge. So they become masters of technology which is diffused across the world on the basis of the popularity of that technology. So we could see problem indeed as a majority of human becoming slaves to a minority who creates technology for a particular purpose say to solve a problem effectively with the support of technology. On the whole overuse of technology without knowing the purpose for which it is being developed we human become slaves to technology. Technology is one of the principal driving forces that made an imprint on one’s life since life started; Harappan civilization could be sited as the best example of the wise use of technology in the yester years. It is still transforming our lives and shaping our future at rates unprecedented in history, with profound implications which we can't even begin to see or understand. The impact of technology on these elements can change how safe, healthy and happy people feel. Throughout history, people have looked for better ways to meet their needs and to satisfy their expectations. Technology has improved the way people feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Technology has also changed other aspects of everyday life, such as health care, education, job satisfaction, and leisure time
