Technology has helped the human race in every field, making our work easier and easier for us. The boons are countless but it has also turned us into a lazy bunch of potatoes who are just getting more and more used to being spoon fed. The advancement of our virtual books and dictionaries is vast but is it really something that's beneficial for us? The answer as per my understanding is a big no!



In today's time most of our work is done on our computers or phones, and the brand new feature on our phones Autocorrect allows our grammatical and spelling mistakes to be automatically rectified. This right here is the cause of the deterioration of the english language because, when one picks up a pen and starts to write in the actual physical world he does not even remember the spellings of common day to day words!


The grammar of such avid users of technology is incorrigible. Although technology maybe characterized as a brilliant and one of the most beneficial inventions of man, it really cannot replace the olden days' way of imparting and gaining knowledge, it cannot be greater than books. Moreover its power can never be greater than that of the human mind, which needs to be protected from getting enslaved under the clutches of technology.
