Technology, a Double-Edged Sword

The sophistication of the technology nowadays is growing up fastly. This era is the most sophisticated era that we ever know. Without meeting with relatives in far away, we can still see them through the skype and video call, no need to bring a big map if you want to go travelling because there is a GPS that could accompany. Maybe you need a friend to accompany you when you get  tired and bored, the game player such as PSP and Nitendo can help you. Now, the booming technologies are blackberry, android and tablet PCs. With the tablet PC, people do not need to carry a big PC to storing important files. Blackberry Smartphone as a choice of advanced mobile phones are not only attractive to office workers but also students, the elementary school students can already use it, when asked why use the Blackberry, more than 50 percent of users chose blackberry just for exist, they will look out of date if they do not use it. Blackberry, which provides BBM (Black Berry Messenger) service to facilitate communication among Blackberry users, became one of the main reasons for having this phone. A similar case experienced by android, although the reasons for choosing this phone because the need is greater than the means to exist.
The sophistication of technology has both positive and negative, positively can be seen that the technology allows people in finding information, such as the benefits of the internet that do not need to waste a lot of money to go around the world. With the internet, all information can be accessed easily. Technological sophistication also pamper people, the washing machine does not need to make you tired of washing clothes. As a communication tool, mobile phone allows us not only to communicate, but also helping us to saving a moment with camera and video, sharing media with GPRS, bluetooth, MMS, etc. Technology can be a helpful friend to us when we need its services, but it also can be an enemy to humans if we cannot use it correctly. For an example,  Air Conditioner that can make our ozone layer thinning and will make the sun's rays enter the earth stronger and causing the increase of global temperatures. in addition, to positive effects, there are also negative impacts caused by the sophistication of technology, which obviously lazy because people increasingly began to rely on technology, humans will frenzy when there is no mobile phone signal, the AC off, television jams, etc.. The impact for students who are very striking is the lack of competitiveness in attaining education, because complete information that provided internet makes students lazy to analyzing and like to copy and pastethe answer without thinking. Humans also increasingly consumerist because hypnotized by the existing ads.
Technology also can poison to people, many victims of technologies, such as teenagers who died from not eating for 3 days and 3 nights to finish the game level. Terrible impact of technology is now making its consumern becomes autistic because their life is only to dwell on existing technology so it is difficult fatherly socializing.
It’s oke to be up date to technology , but do not let you blind with the technology, because it will hurt yourself and people around. (Pyk)
