Human and Technological Civilization

The topic of discussion in modern times is the relationship between humans and technology as if it cannot be separated from all forms of activity. So at the moment, it can be said that technology is a primary need that must be fulfilled for everyone.

The function of technology itself is to make it easier for humans to work on all activities, needs and interests. For example in communicating, as if the distance of humans across the world is close. Even though in ancient times, when everything was still very simple, something like this could not be felt. Because in ancient times, this was considered as something that didn't make sense.

All of this actually starts from various human needs. And the desire and feeling that is never satisfied will be something like this and more than this and that. So that it becomes one of the human reasons for creating new technologies. Which can make all needs and needs become fast, easy and practical.
But the phenomenon that is happening now is that technology tends to be used not for needs or needs, but as a life trend. To just follow along so as not to be considered a very ancient stone age man. Without utilizing the sophistication of the technology properly. Beyond his consciousness, humans are gradually colonized as technology develops. Especially the technology of communication tools, for example Gadgets and the like.

It can be said that human relations with technology, as well as symbiosis of parasitism. It depends on the human being himself, being the master, so that he demands to learn and use technology wisely so that he can obtain positive values.

But on the other hand, not a few people who abuse it. For example, today's parents buy gadgets for their children that can be said to be not mature enough. By reason of following the trends of today. While children cannot use the gadget well and according to their needs. Instead they only use it to play games. Let's compare it to the age when we were kids. We play outside the house, playing games that are very simple and with simple tools too. Like playing marbles, jumping rope, hide and seek and much more. But look at the present, they play a lot of games ditablet in the house regardless of time even they only go to the internet cafe to play online games. When they are preoccupied with their preoccupation, parents do not realize that it will be a waste of time that should be used for learning. Which later can inhibit and reduce children's achievements in the academic and non-academic fields. So that's where the image of humans gets negative values ​​from the current technological developments.
Therefore we must be vigilant, not to use technology for things that are of no use. Indeed, we realize that humans and technology cannot be separated.

Although actually the technology is very useful to facilitate humans in their interests, but it can be very detrimental if from the beginning we have used it wrongly.

One reality that we cannot avoid is that humans will still need technology that can make things easier. Technology will continue to evolve to change civilizations in the world to be more advanced than the era we are experiencing now. Maybe even later in the age to come, many new technological inventions are not only enough to arouse humans to say "GREAT .. !!", but more than that. So that everything that is currently not possible, we might be able to do with the discovery of more sophisticated technology someday.
