Technology has become one of the most important parts of our life. We can’t even imagine surviving in this rapidly changing world without technology. Even the pandemic has taught us how significant technology is for our lives. It helps people stay connected, work, learn new things, and get exposure to multiple new things going around us. There is no improbability in the way that in the present occasions, technology has made our lives very simple and at the same time productive too.
It’s no secret to anyone that technology played a supreme role in shaping and changing the world we’re living in today. Without technological advancements and innovation, everything around us would be so much different. It’s almost impossible to imagine a life without modern medicine practices, cars, television, smartphones, or the almighty internet, says noted Business Astrologer cum Astro Strategist Hirav Shah.
Hirav says, “Most of the people argue that many of the revolutions brought by technology have disturbed our existence in a negative way. Most of these concerns revolve around problems like addiction to social media, lack of privacy, manipulation of digital media, social disconnect, environmental issues, internet scams, etc. With so much talk about the derailing effects of technology, we tend to forget about all the benefits it provides, and there are many. For instance, it would not be possible for you to read this article right now if it weren’t for technological development.
Furthermore, individuals have been utilizing it for profiting themselves from numerous points of view, isn’t it so?”
Hirav Shah discusses the role of technology in making our lives beneficial by making these valid points.
