Are we too independent in technology

Technology brought us machines, computers, cars and aeroplanes. It made the world smaller by providing good communication tools, made it possible to explore the solar system and the universe and proved that technology is truly significant in human advancement. There’s no denying technology is great, but are humans becoming too dependent on technology? Advancements in technology have enabled humans to do things that were previously unimaginable and it has certainly made many tasks easier than they were before. How many of us can go for a week without an internet connection or cell phone? Do people take time to memorise phone numbers anymore? Technology has made life so convenient for humans that being without it is a very scary thought.      We are to dependent in technology Technology was made to help us in our daily lives. Things from calculating big numbers, Helping us to get to our destination, And crating things in a more faster pace for production of furniture. T...

Nature of life

Nature , in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science . Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.     Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" often refers to geology and wildlife . Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects—the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth . It is often taken to mean the " natural environment" or wilderness —wild animals, rocks, forest, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For exa...

Charisma

The word charisma refers to a rare trait found in certain human personalities usually including extreme charm and a "magnetic" quality of personality or appearance along with innate and powerfully sophisticated personal communicability and persuasiveness; in short, charisma is often used to describe a seemingly uncanny ability to charm or influence people. It refers especially to a quality in certain people who easily draw the attention and admiration (or even hatred if the charisma is negative) of others due to a "magnetic" quality of personality or appearance.   Charisma seems a bit of an enigma. It’s a concept we struggle to define. But why?  We tend not to think about what we mean by charisma. We may think someone has charisma but we do not ask ourselves why that person stands out. It is just a genuinely difficult concept to define. It means different things to different people. When we think of charisma, these kind of words tend to spring to mind; appeal...

Overcome laziness

Laziness could decrease productivity to the point where it could prevent it or even back track the work that was done. If the laziness is taken in a bad way, it will cause the priorities to be all jumbled. It gets to your mind so that you feel that your pleasure from unproductive things take priority than the things that you must do. For example, if I was feeling lazy with my blog posts, I would just go play some games instead. This situation obviously shows the ugly side of laziness that could set back my growth. But all this is the negative side of laziness. Have you ever given laziness a chance to redeem itself? I feel that one thing about laziness is that people are only introduced to the bad side of it. People are too fixated on the idea that laziness is bad that they never attempt to look on the bright side. So during this time of the post, I would like to present you the time to think of what can be good about laziness. Ready? Set. GO! Alright I hope you had enough time to t...

Recession

Definition: Recession is a slowdown or a massive contraction in economic activities. A significant fall in spending generally leads to a recession. Description: Such a slowdown in economic activities may last for some quarters thereby completely hampering the growth of an economy. In such a situation, economic indicators such as GDP, corporate profits, employments, etc., fall. This creates a mess in the entire economy. To tackle the menace, economies generally react by loosening their monetary policies by infusing more money into the system, i.e., by increasing the money supply. This is done by reducing the interest rates. Increased spending by the government and decreased taxation are also considered good answers for this problem.     People often say a recession is when the GDP growth rate is negative for two consecutive quarters or more. But a recession can quietly begin before the quarterly gross domestic product reports are out. That's why the National Bureau of Eco...
