Living in this age when technology has made almost remarkable inventions for our ease and to improve performance. We could travel thousand of miles not in days but in hours. How we could think off that it could impoverish the mind. Rather it helps us to discover more and go beyond the thoughts. As one time man have ever thought to visit moon and now with the advent of technology they have visited the moon and didn't stop here rather use their brain more efficiently and trying to visit the next galaxy.


I t seems that use of calculator have stopped us from thinking as most of the time we are doing simple calculation which we shouldn't but it is simply we are use to with some technology as with the help of advanced scientific calculator we are doing calculations in seconds which suppose to take hours.
TV and games are making us lazy is one thought but its not the whole truth because due to TV we know about the world a lot more that we can see around as we learn more from surroundings rather than books, now if you want to create, invent something you need broad vision compared to only around you. Now a days games with puzzles are so tough that they make you think and use your mind which actually a perfect mind exercise.
Use of cell widen the business as most of the time we are making millions of deals on phone if not agree just look in the stock exchanges one little dumb example as there is a lot more.
Banks are online, credit cards, all other things so we should not waste time in traveling , buying and paying must use mind for what to do next rather always repeating and wasting like old times.
Must look in the brighter side as it has many bad impacts but for only those who want to use it for the Bad purposes as technology has made advancement so weather you want to commit a crime or some other business; it is fast and helps a lot to think beyond your daily routines. And that is only possible when you get your daily jobs easily and efficiently.
