HUMAN RELATION TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE MODERN WORLD

• 

What is human being? What is their culture? What is their identity? How they are connected to the modern technology? How do they differ from animals? These are few questions which needs a deep investigation and conceptualized understanding of human culture in relation to technology. It has to be analysed keeping in mind the other framework such as classical ontology, economy, phenomenology, existentialism.

Great analyst of twentieth century said that technology plays an important role in shaping the human behavior from time to time. It's like a track which gets updated every time and human switch from one technology to other with time as per the advancement. In our modern civilization, technology-microscope and MRI scan has became an effective tool in analysing and diagnosis . So, technology has also bear on our view of things.

This blog focusses on how with the changing time technology influences and constitue human culture and existence.In this context we will also discuss how the boundary between traditional design and use has faded by the involvement of technology in human civilization. The rapid development of mind and body of human with the development of technology has influenced the self consciousness, autonomy and racialism is also a important part of the interaction of man and technology.

OVERVIEW:

In the last few decades, technology has progressed at a staggering rate. Smartphones, the internet, cloud computing, and hundreds of other inventions are changing every facet of our lives. Communication, business, government, travel, fundraising, and even agriculture have been affected. But how about our brains? Is all this new technology changing us on the inside? Many think so, including psychology professionals.

As Psychology Today says, “There is … little doubt that all of the new technologies, led by the Internet and digital technology, are shaping the way we think in ways obvious and subtle, deliberate and unintentional, and advantageous and detrimental.”* While research into this field is still in its infancy and there are no scientifically agreed-upon conclusions, there are several areas where modern digital technology is certainly affecting the way we interact with the world and the way our children’s brains develop. These areas include:

•Attention

Evidence suggests that the constant use of technology is shortening our attention span. Nowadays people use most of their time in these electronic gadgets like smart phone etc. Spending time in playing games, listening music, browsing,chatting has made our mind narrow and the capacity of focusing in any particular task gets hampered. Students can't concentrate in their studies, job seekers can't refine their skills as per the requirement. Their persistence capacity is reducing day by day.They get distracted very soon with any notification on their smart phones. 

•Decision Making

The capacity of a man to think and take action is the most important features that differentiate a human being from an animal. But, this characteristic of a man is fading with time. Instead of analyzing, thinking about the consequences, people tend to feel much comfortable in solving their queries online.Earlier, people use to take advice from their elders who already had gained knowledge by their experience but today that 'network building' capacity is reduced rapidly. Remember that a place of a doctor can never be overtaken by a machine. The doctor analyses and interprets the patients condition and by his knowledge and experience treats them accordingly. Overall, it is clear that one must not depend too much on technology for decision making and analysing.As humans are the creator of technology not machines.

•Distraction

Concentration is always the opposite of distraction.Although technology has its boon but excessive use and it's addiction can become one of the cause of distraction. 

Particularly, students who have made phones their best friend. It became a main cause behind most of their devastation. They waste their time using internet. Once their phones give a tweet tweet notification tone they forget all their work and give a dive in the ocean of distraction. As a student, they have a duty towards themselves. They must use internet to the fullest to gain knowledge and wisdom and not for their failure. Serving unwanted sites, vulgar contents can ruin the mental capacity and strength. 

•Relationship Building

There was a time when people use to spend their time sharing their thoughs,their life happening with their fellow men. Family played an important role for them. But, today we humans keep ourselves busy in technology. We often have time to spend with our family. Even if we doing, we keep ourselves endulge in internet.We often miss the present and memorable moments of out life with our friends and family by keeping ourselves busy in the online world. Never involve yourself too much in technology as it can ruin your relationship very very badly.

Conclusion:

Understanding the concept and need of technology will broaden our mind and bring us closer to the world. It will enlighten our basic knowledge be it in any field 'health', 'career', 'job','development', 'education' etc. Just as a coin has two different phase, in the same way everything and anything has its boon as well as curse. It depends on the person how and for what purpose he or she is using it.Keeping in mind the above statement;Technology can also build the world or destroy the world.
