Has Tech Gone Too Far?

We commonly presume that technology is a good thing.

- Yesha Gangani

After all, the term brings up the presence of extraordinary inventions, medical advances and a much more smooth life. But do those inventions actually mirror the brunt that technology has had on our lives? The answer is a lot more complex than some may believe.

The whole idea of technology being a force for the better is based on a double premise. The first one is an almost-universally held assumption. People believe that technology has made our lives easier. Secondly, it is majorly seen that tech has raised the standard of living for all.

Frankly speaking, all that technology has provided has been taken for granted. Given, the current attitudes that we hold toward Silicon Valley and its tech inventions, at large, these are some of the proclamations that are definitely worth examining. Be it because we prefer to focus on the material utilization or the ever increasing length of life, we hardly ever consider what it means to have a rewarding life. In so many ways, technological advances have failed with regards to a satisfying life.
