Speech on Technology – 3

"Good Evening Friends! I warmly welcome everyone to the speech ceremony of today.

I, Kartik Kaushik, am your host for today evening and would like to address the topic called technology. I am sure that we all can relate with technology without which we cannot imagine our lives. No matter wherever we go and whatever we do, technology has a sweeping influence over our lives. From the on and off of electric buttons to working in the kitchen with the appliances to going out in a car or any other vehicle – everything is governed by technology. Technology has gifted us so many things in life and thus we can safely say that it’s a boon for the mankind.

Technology plays a very significant role in satisfying our day to day needs. You just look around yourself and you will find everything from a small pen to a big airplane is borne out of technology. From sunrise until sunset, technology is what controls our lives. In fact, technological advancements have made our lives easier and we can perform tasks with a lot of ease and mush faster than ever before and hence can save our time.

It is not possible to do away with technology from our daily lives. Consider if the invention of airplane had not happened, then traveling from one place to the other or from one nation to the other would take considerably a long time. Take for instance, the field of medical science; the lives of many people have been saved due to technological advancements. In the absence of technology, our lives would have become powerless and regressive, so technology has improved our ways of living life.

However, some people believe that technology also brings disasters and its greatest example is war. War creates great bloodshed and takes away the lives of so many people using missiles and bombs. But the matter of fact is that when something goes wrong, we should not blame technology. For instance, when someone has used a knife to murder someone, we cannot put blame on the knife, but on the murderer who used that knife in order to kill someone. The other example can be based on the increasing rape cases. When teenagers sexually molest a girl, they do so after having watched a video on phone or a computer. It is not the fault of a cell phone or the internet, but it’s about the lack of moral principles in us and absence of strict regulation in our society which keeps a check on the downloading and uploading of such videos.

So when people don’t make wise use of technology, problem occurs and fault doesn’t lie with technology, but people who fail to observe morality. Solutions are required to fix these problems and there should be a proper surveillance system by the state and the government where wrong doers must be punished. Other than this, the concerned authority should keep a close watch on the unauthorized streaming of videos, which adversely impact our youth and leave a bad influence on them. Technology is a boon if used wisely and to the best interest of mankind.

This is all I have to say. Thank You!
