Is Technology making us dependent???

Last night I had to complete my assignment!!! I needed the most important information from the Wikipedia!!! As soon as I turned the computer on... what do I see!!!! THE INTERNET ISN’T WORKING!!!! Oh my goshhh!!! What could have I done!!! Initially I thought that I’ll submit it later but my internal assessment depended on that!!! I calmed down and went on doing the other work and waited for the internet to get fixed!!! But the dumb link wasn’t available for more than 9 hours... I got scared and because I had to submit the assignment the next day!!! I tried really hard and finished those horrible 25 questions on my own without any kind of help!!!

But it made me realise that how dependent we are on the internet!!! For each and every thing or event, we need it everyday!!! I personally use it for two main things... Social networking and assignments... I need it because I just can’t do anything without it!!! It’s a really important part of my life!!! But I could see the changes in me when I didn’t get to use it!!! I waited for the whole day long for the link so that I could complete my assignment!!! And that wait made me very restless and moody!!! I could see that I was losing my independence!!! Use of our skill and mind has reduced definitely because teachers tell the students to find out information from the internet and the employers tell the employees to take help from the net!!! Yeah that’s true for many of ‘em!!!

Not just the internet but the A.C.s, cell phones, the iPods and obviously laptops have the same problem!! When I don’t have any of it... I feel so restless!!! Oh well!!! I’m going to reduce my use of internet for the project and assignments because I want to do it on my own!!! It won’t just help me sharpen my memory and mind but it will definitely save the earth!! Because in some way or the other it affects the nature!!! And thus I think everyone on this planet should correct this kind of the habit and behave global!!! As the IIFA people say...”Do your bit to save the nature because I’m doing my bit...”

I know this blog is somewhat like an article to be written in the exam but think on it!!! It’s true!
