Ying-Yang of technology.
Our lives can be marked by a big and significant word called "technology". Most of us know what this word means and how important it is in our daily lives. But do we really know if it benefits us or perhaps not in the way we expect? According to Lane, 2019 says that technology "Implies organized ways of doing things. It encompasses the intended and unintended interactions between products (machines, devices, artifacts) and the people and systems that make, use, or are affected by them through various processes. "This points to the immense relationship to both the objects created and the people who consume them. This is of most importance because this is where the well-known Yig Yang is born.
Sometimes it crosses my mind that commercial I saw on TV about that broom that would do everything for me while I just watch TV. But is it really necessary for a machine to limit my daily physical exercise. The production is massive, thus affecting the environment. But on the contrary, those machines created to help sick people so they can extend their life and continue to enjoy every breath, then that's when I think that people are really using this resource well. It is extremely difficult to catalog technology in just one thing, the duty is in how humans can use it, the ethics we have, and so on.
This ted talk is really good, take a look!
