Accordingto a recent study findings published in ‘The Atlantic’ it was averred thatpracticing cursive handwriting increases our cognitive ability, whereasrecently due to rise of smart phones and computers people tend to prefercomputer more, than writing on paper, when noting something important. Therefore,students are losing their ability to write with pen and paper and cursivehandwriting is becoming extinct. Albeit, proponents of technology will acclaimits usefulness, despite that the act of relying on technology to solve problemswill deteriorate the humans ability to think. In my view, relying more ontechnology do hamper our cognitive ability because technology is renderingpeople to be less willing to cogitate deeply about an issue.

One ofthe most remarkable examples of technology is Internet. Internet is indeed veryhelpful for transferring information. In spite of its advantages, it is oftenused to harass or cheat people. Recently the incidences of cyber bullying haveseen a stark increase. As internet virtually seems untraceable, people oftenlose their morality and end up in committing grievous crimes like making a personalfootage open to public. Thus we can see technology hiders our mental ability.

LikeInternet, Car is also an epitome of technology. It has made our transportation mucheasier. Human beings now use car to travel to short distances. People arelosing their healthy habit of walking thus incidences of heart diseases and diabetesare increasing due to adoption of sedentary life styles. Whereas, in thesuburbs of the third world countries like India and Bangladesh the occurrence ofsuch diseases is still not so pervasive. Therefore, men are inhibiting theirhealthy lifestyle in the lure of ease and comfort of technology.

Considerthe example of Smart phone which also belies the idea that it has madecommunication easier. Whereas, now and then we can find articles on the media thathow smart phones are hurting our relationships. People are spending less timein face to face communication. Whereas we know that face to face conversationare very effective in expressing our thoughts and also strengthens our bondswith our near and dear ones. Moreover, different parts of brain are stimulated duringface to face communication. Therefore, we can see how smart phones are makingus dumb.

As the bulkof evidence shows that technology do help us in solving problems but it alsodeteriorates our mental ability. But when technology is used wisely we can reapout the maximum benefits. For instance the use of FMRI’s and other diagnostictools provide insights about human body and helps in formulating interventionsfor diseases.
