The Price We Pay

Looking at the negative side effects of technology being incorporated into our everyday lives.

This turn of the century,

The 21st Century,

Has brought along many pleasures,

But nobody expected the deceit.

Nobody expected that the perfect world,

Others have generated,

Would turn into a world where malice, betrayal

And sadness is an everyday, yet tragic, fact.

What did our ancestors, older generations,

Expect? 

A perfect world where technology is the prime factor,

Where technology mingles perfectly within everybody's lives?

Without technology, the world would be a much happier,

Safer and less dangerous place to live in.

There would be less cyber-bullying, 

And less advanced nuclear bombs.

All good things come with a bad.

And usually, the bad is much worse than the good.

Who would have thought?

I guess this is the price we pay.

there will always be a disadvantages and advantages in the use of technology. Perhaps we become too reliant to it, that it becomes a unnoticed addiction of ours. Technology is our progess as well as it can be our distruction, that truly depends on how our human nature controls or un-controlled fears, greeds and unwanted emotions. This piece gives you a lot of thought on how technology affects our daily lives. Thought-provoking piece!

Yes, everything has advantages and disadvantages, sadly technology comes with a lot of those! Yes, I love how you phrased it, "technology is our progress as well as it can be our destruction."
Perfect sentence framing everything. Thankyou, comments are very much appreciated! xx
