TECHNOLOGY TIMELINE

“The luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.”

The contemporary life is all about technology. These days human possess technology to make life easy. This is done by the help of the changes in the way human being employ their energy, there has been a significant shift in the monotonous manual work,  that was previously accomplished by human themself, to the machines. This development has in turn made life full of luxuries and conveniences. Thus, in my view it has not hampered people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals, it indeed have provided time to get involved in more productive tasks.

The luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life is a product of human success. The need of luxuries and conveniences raised when, most of the time of people was consumed into doing the daily chores of monotonous jobs. Let us take an example of basic conveniences of washing machines and dishwasher these machines have reduced human effort and made time available for other jobs. The time saved here can be employed to some more innovative work which better fits the lifestyle of contemporary individuals.

The issue in hand claims that the luxuries and conveniences prevent people from developing truly strong and independent individuals. However, it does not take into account that the definition of truly strong and independent individuals changes with time. In old days the alpha male was one who was physically stronger and could produce equally stronger offspring and was a desired suitor. But, over the time this has changed man with a stable job is considered as a better suitor in matrimonial prospective. Similarly, now-a-days the truly strong and independent individuals are one who works on bases of contemporary lifestyle and gain professional success.

Every technology or innovation has its pros and cons. one ideal example is nuclear power, it has the potential to fulfill entire energy needs of the word and also possess the power to destroy it. It is the way this technology is used that matters. Likewise the luxury that this contemporary life style provides can cause some serious health concerns due to lack of required physical work. However, recent development on gym and other exercise sources can take care of that all. Thus the need of physical work required on daily basis can be done in gym in a new and recreation manner!

Lastly with the conveniences and luxury contemporary life has opened new scopes for development and has made individual flexible enough to take out time for other activities to fit in contemporary life and live a healthy life.
