Technology makes human life easier. But the negative aspect of it can’t be ignored.
Over the years technological advancement has caused a severe rise in pollution. They cause many health-related issues in animals, birds, and human beings.
It has cut off people from society rather than connecting them. Machines can do work at a constant pace for several hours or days without stopping. Due to this, many workers lost their jobs.
Everything we use in our daily life is a gift of technology. It has become an important part of our lives. Newer technologies are taking place in the market and people are getting used to them in no time. But we cannot deny the fact that it has caused severe damage to our surroundings.
