The article was long but interesting. in the past few decades, Technology is progressing and is beneficial for us. The doctors are able to determine the early stages of cancer through imaging, and lifespan is longer than 20 years ago. The author brings examples about airplane accidents and how pilots’ knowledge declines because they are dependent on automatic devices. He mentions that pilots should be trained and observed how will they react if airplanes will lose control. I believe that technology can get out of control because it is automatic and it is obvious to have incidents. technology has pros and cons. We get so comfortable with advanced technology majority of people are relying on the technology. The main concern is to test people’s adequate knowledge because someone like a pilot should be prepared to be appropriate in action and professional in manual flying. Does Technology take jobs away? In many dimensions yes, I can see it in everyday life. unfortunately, not everyone is educated to work in high positions and advanced technology fetches jobs from the working class. I can see clearly that soon we will be in a contactless society.
how does it affect my life? technology has an important role in my life. As an immigrant, My family lives abroad and because of technology, i am able to see and talk to them. I read on my phone. I listen to various teachers every day if i am not able to read. technology played a tremendous role in my education past two years. I am able to access any information and scrutinize it because of technology. I am convinced that technology somehow made huge differences in many people’s lives and like mentioned before it has pros and cons.


Hi Katuna,
I agree with you that technology has pros and cons. I also communicate with my relatives in different parts of the world through technology. I think when technology becomes a problem is when human beings do no think by his/her own and it depends totally on technology.
This article was long but it was very interesting and I hope at some point creates awareness in every individual to use the technology smartly.
Take care!
Hi Khatuna + Zenayda, I appreciate you adding your special lens to the class’s discussions. You both, as well as family of my own, use technology with heavy reliance in order to maintain communication with relatives in other countries. Also, I appreciate you describing how using your phone helped you to improve your language skills, Khatuna. That does show a big pro in terms of the accessibility of knowledge through tech. Good work!
