Should humans adapt to technology or should technology be adapted to us? Is technology making us intellectually weaker or more intelligent?

Whether the development of modern technology should be permitted to advance unhindered, or improved only with specific regard to human need, is a contentious issue. Since learning to

use

new technologies strengthens intellect, I believe that new devices should be developed without limits in order to challenge people. The achievements of humanity over the

last

century have only been made possible by the development of modern technology. Driven by the need to discover, people have created countless innovations in fields

such

as electronics, medicine and engineering which have improved the lives of billions.

Additionally

, many key discoveries throughout history were made while investigating something else entirely,

such

as with penicillin or the microwave oven. Establishing controls over what may or may not be investigated could

therefore

severely limit new discoveries.

This

style of innovation

also

provides intellectual benefits for both the inventor and the consumer, since both must work hard in order to either create or

use

the new device. A constant flow of new discoveries maintains mental stimulation amongst those who choose to make

use

of them. The computer,

for example

, has enabled humans to achieve remarkable things, but only after we

adapted

acquired as your own by free choice

adopted

our behaviour and learned to

use

it fully.

Also

, those people who have maintained a good degree of computer literacy are now able to seek the best professional opportunities, which is

further

known to be intellectually beneficial. In conclusion, I believe that technology should be allowed to develop freely and that humans should adapt their behaviour to

discoveries.

This

will keep us intellectually strong and ensure that the maximum good can come from scientific endeavour.
