I cannot accept it as a sweeping statement. But I accept it partially. That is because, for anything or everything human approach, attitude and response is not universally same. Technological advancement s also has different uses, and applications; appreciation and apprehensions. As the saying goes, one man's medicine may be another's poison. Many times opinions are tinted by the vision glass we wear.
While the author says technological advancement has mad people lazy, my opinion is that it has enabled people to be multitaskers. Technology ha increased productivity, people's mobility, and response pace in times of urgency. It gives fast relief during catastrophes and disasters.
At the individual level technology advancement has reduced human labour, toiling time and gives extra time for people to undertake more tasks, pursue hobbies, increase communication, visit friends and relatives, visit places on tour and pilgrimage, increase knowledge by reading and other ways, explore much more research and further developments. comfort and entertainment.
Had it not been for the technology, I would not have ben able to post this response at this time after finishing all my other priority tasks. I would no have found time and even if found I would have been too tied due to physical exertion on all those tasks.
Yes as every coin has two sides, there ma be some negatives too for technology advancements too. But it for us to select the positive side and also mitigate the negativity also.
