Slaves to Technology: A Modern Dilemma

This document discusses how technology is gradually turning people into slaves. It notes that the average person now spends 11 hours per day staring at screens, which is wasting their lives and harming their eyes. As people become absorbed in their phones and indulge in social media, they forget about taking care of themselves and maintaining real social interactions and human contact. If people are not careful, technology will control them rather than them controlling technology, turning them into zombies that are constantly plugged in without a sense of their own thinking. Moderation is needed to avoid the risks of technology and maintain important social relationships.

Slaves to Technology

Image credits to Steve Cutts

Technology nowadays are quickly evolving. Together with its rapid expansio, we are also quickly
absorbed by the same technology that we made. That technology helps us while it also quietly destroys us.
We are gradually being turned into slaves. Slaves that are always in front of a virtual screen. Having less and
less social life, and human-to-human interaction will definitely make our personality submissive.
I chose this artwork because this artwork represents the modern technology that we have right now
and on how this technologies advances. It saps the life out of people. According to data, the average time
that people are spending their day in front of a screen is 11 hours. 11 hours of your life wasted on social
media, television, etc. It also has a harmful effect particularly on our eyes. Our eyes are gradually being
dehydrated while in front of a screen. Sometimes, we also forgot to nourish ourselves because of our “busy”
time while in fact, we are just staring at our cellphones, indulging other people while forgetting about
ourselves. We became zombies that follows whatever the current trends are. It is in our instinct to grab our
phone whenever we can, and sometimes, people cannot even live without an hour separated from their phone.
We truly became slaves/zombies to our technology.
While technology itself is not bad. Proper moderation must still be imposed in order to lessen the
risks that are associated with the said technology. People must still maintain good social relationships and
human-to-human contact. A certain amount of rest is still needed in order for people to lessen the harmful
effects imposed by using such technology. We must not be the people who gets to be controlled by the
technology that we made, but we must have some sense of “own thinking” wherein, we must be the one who
control over the technology that we created. Don’t be a zombie, live free.
