Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates our home, leisure and work activities. To what extent do the benefits of information technology outweigh the disadvantages?
We live in a modern era. In
this
century we have availability of modern technologies. Which makes our life
simple. Information
technology
, not only make our life
easy but also
contributes to our home
leisure and work
activities. There are many advantages and drawbacks of information
technology
. In my point of view, usefulness outweighs the disadvantages.
To embark with, information
technology
makes our life
easy and enjoyable. It is an important creation of modern science. Now, people
are dependent on it very strongly. In addition
, it saves our time
, at present people
can get anything online. Which is another blessing for us. People
can read newspapers on their phones. Moreover
, they can do shopping also
from their home
. Furthermore
, information
technology
helps us to communicate with our near and dear ones quickly through, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and so on. It does not matter our close ones live near to our home
or they live abroad. For example
, my father lives in Canada, but I do not feel like that, he is far away from me as I can contact him anytime I want via social media for phone calls. However
, people
also
can do their office work
from home
and foreign countries. Over and above, nowadays, people
can spend their free time
watching movies, reading books online and so on. It also
helps us to get a high-quality education.
On the other hand
, though information
technology
is useful for us yet it makes our life
robotic. Now, people
are becoming very lazy. They do not want to do any work
in their home
and they are always busy with gadgets. It is also
seen that people
do not visit their relative's houses it makes their relation worse and they become unsocial. If people
spend a lot of time
with information
technology
then
, it will make them sick mentally and physically. For instance
, today, I read an article that, a child, who always spend time
playing a mobile game and it affects his eyes now he has to wear glasses with high power. When people
spend excessive time
with modern technology
they will forget about their leisure activities which they used to like gardening, drawing, cooking and so on. People
now feel lazy about their work
, they prefer to sit at home
and do work
. It makes them unfriendly.
In conclusion, I can say that every coin has two sides like information
technologies. In my point of view, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.Submitted by Zannatul Irin
