ARE WE BECOMING TECHNOLOGICAL ZOMBIES?
Are We Becoming Technological Zombies?~The whole world uses modern technology such as handphone, laptop, and computer. In developing country, we are one the countries uses the technology. .Early generations of the device looked like extra-large pagers. But these pagers were electronic handcuffs. It seems like technology is making thing faster. Is this making us slaves to technology ? I don’t know. Oh I see dead people, no i see zombies. They walk aimlessy down the street and swerve in myline on highway. They are not under spell of a witch, they are controlled by their smartphones.
Are zombies have taken to our Planet Earth? As i walk past walkers zombies, hold the phone with all hand. Visit a restaurant these days and you’ll see zombies seated at the bar, eating a meal by themselves. Fork in one hand, phone in the other. It’s difficult to tell which they enjoy more (food or phone) or both of them. I still remember the B.S. era (“Before Smartphone”). Instead we have use the cellphone, we still made eye contact, we made conversation. We still keep the friend relationship each other, playing together; like card, uno or (true or dare), talk about anything; about girls (for boys), about game, motor cycle parts and etc.
Technology sceptics have enough hard evidence behind them to support the argument that our devices are having terrible effects on our health, though – A study by the University of Gothenburg revealed that cell phone use increased sleep disorders and depressive symptoms in both men and women. The study also revealed that regular, late night computer use was associated with sleep disorders, stress and depressive symptoms among both genders.
Scientists have studied links between cell phone use and cancer risk (see this fact sheet from the National Cancer Institute and this CNN article about a World Health Organization study). prolonged use of cell phones, moreover smartphones can have harmful, long term effects on the body.
What do you think? Is technology detrimental or beneficial to our health? Should we prepare for a zombie apocalypse? I still believe that sitting down and reading a book is the best way to really learn something and I worry that we are losing that. Library increasingly lonely, actually it's free. Smartphone? You must have internet connection and you must buy it.
Nowadays, the technology capabilities are so excellent. We can do anything with technology. Everything can handle with a smartphone, but I do hope we can have a silly conversation but with that we can start a briliant mind and also briliant action.
