 INTRODUCTION
Knowledge brings logical understanding to a person, but
the application of it helps complete the work.
The definition of technology is – the practical application
of knowledge to complete a task. In the past few years or
so, the growth of technologies has been tremendous.
Therefore, it’s important to know the positive and
negative effects of technology.
Technology has become an integral part of a person’s
life. Better quality of work can be provided with the use
of technology. Importance of technology in our life has
increased. Furthermore, with the growth in the IT sector,
the probability of a new app that can replace a certain
work keeps increasing.
Nowadays, theoretically, we have apps and devices that
can replace the job of a receptionist. Neglect of human
preference in the service provided can very well lead to
this becoming a reality. Technology refers to these things
in general; a device, applications, software, and
hardware.

effects now:

case for technology adoption. Some of the negative

steady rate, making information technology one of the
fastest growing sectors in the world.

other industries, with some categories reaching 4-5 times
the current rate by 2030.
Cloud computing is expected to grow at CAGR of 17.5%
by 2025. According to a survey conducted in July 2014 an

Conclusion
Technology being an integral part of our lives, it is
important to learn to adapt with it. Technology is
definitely a two-sided sword, and therefore we need to
accept the positives and reduce the negatives as much as
possible.
Technological advancements may save lives, and because
of this reason alone, it is worth integrating technology. It
has become easier for companies or start-ups to do work
at less expenses. People will just have to upskill
themselves and learn to coexist with technology.
Is technology a boon or bane?
It has both positive and negative effect. Some of them
are increasing satisfaction, better communication
channels, eliminating geographical boundaries and some
negatives are obesity, health issues, sleep problems, etc.
So, There is no clear-cut answer for this. It may be a boon
for one person, while the same tech for some may be a
bane. That’s why, it totally depends upon the user who is
using it.
Improve your life with technology!
