Over dependence on life-easing gadgets and devices puts greater impacts on human intellectual and emotional capabilities. Some say this concern is genuine whereas some others say it is unfair to blame such technologies.

How do you respond to these two views?

What we do and how log we what has great bearing on our intellectual and emotional well being. As a matter of fact there is a strong point in the concerns some people raise on rising time of gadgets. However, pointing an accusing finger at technology is unfair.

The major point towards the concern is that our actions get reflected in our emotions and intelligence. Human intelligence, for instance, gets sharper if it is extensively used. For example, how many of us can recollect our own personal numbers, or make a few simple calculations without a calculator? So is the case with our emotions. They go warmer and stronger when they are shared or received.

If these two things do not happen for a long time, obviously, our intelligence  would get blunter and our emotions may fail to emote. This is what happens when depend too much on e. machines. This may be either for conveying a note of congratulations or thanks, expressing condolences, registering a protest or whatever.  For example, hugging a person, patting on one’s shoulders, wiping one’s tears and giving company to laughter and the like should be done in person. So E. tools can damage what is inherently human. 

All these negative impacts notwithstanding, it does not sound good to blame electronic gargets that actually make human easier. Who would deny the fact all such devices are for man’s better life? The problem, therefore, is the way we use them. Instead of making them our servants, we succumb to their temptations, and we render ourselves to be mere tools.

Responding to the two views, it may be concluded that the concern is of greater significance, but I would like to leave technologies on their own. In my opinion, we must be intelligent enough to call the shots when it comes to e. devices and gadgets.
