Hi Amigo,
Please tell me what you think of this one!

Contemporary technology makes available many small pieces of factual information. As a result, people have become so preoccupied with bits of fragmented information that they pay too little attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives."

In this era of science and technology, information is widely received and accepted. People are so used to the factual information, as it is easily accessible. They are limited to the information they receive and give less focus on the overall perspective. Lets look into the above-presented fact.

Contemporary technology makes the people comfortable to the present, by foreshadowing the future larger issues or perspectives. Lets look into example as to how the contemporary technology presents information as a fact and how people receive it. For instance, calculators used by kids in schools. Kids learn math from the beginning, believing on the fact that the calculators provide the information they need. They become so accustomed using calculators that they never get a chance to realize, in high school, they need to do math without calculators. Even today, kids in high school are intimidated with math. People’s dependence on the technology is so high, that they forget to view it in big picture.

Fragmented information provided to the people makes them believe that every solution for an issue in a field depends on that technology. For example, lets look into Information Technology. Innovation of Internet was further enhanced and developed by using Java. People were so occupied with it for years as the technology helped to develop many web sites and answered many persisting issues in designing web sites. It hyped the market. All of sudden, people realized that the market prices were gouged resulting in the plummet of stock markets and economic recession. People tend to get easily overwhelmed with the technology that they condone the larger issues easily.

Finally, technology is very much needed for the basics requirements of the contemporary life. However, as the people receive the information provided by the contemporary technology, people get carried away by the information and tend to neglect the larger issues posed by it, which stands as a shadow to get on an overall perspective on that technology. If one can get the perspective, one can think differently by not relying so much on the information provided by the technology.
