Technology and Modern Life


There is no doubt in that our modern life is heavily dependent on technology. Just few decades back when there was no internet, no cell phones and no tablets people still live also. That time most advanced thing was television, it’s hard for one modern era youngster to live a life without internet now. In simple words, it can be said that now our life is almost dependent on technology.

There are arguments about that also, according to some technology had made us lazy and some says that it had improved the lifestyle. Many from you will be having different views also regarding that. Whoever says whatever, it cannot have any impact on audience until the audience doesn’t have their own experience.

Here we will discuss pros and cons of technology:

Negative Impacts of technology


Its main negative impact is that technology makes us lazy. You do less physical activities which can lead to some health problems. Before many people wake up early and go for morning walk. But now majority of youngsters sleep late at night and when wakes up before going to washroom they first check their inbox. Another bad impact of technology is “Text Neck”. This is a modern disease caused by using your cell phone or iPhones for messaging. In this disease, one gets pain in head, neck and shoulders. This disease is result of modern technology like cell phone, video game, PC, MP3 player or e-reader. This happens by having constant strain on neck and spine by looking forward and downward on your mobile or any other such device. This can sever impacts on health.

Modern technology sometime also takes us away from our loved ones, while living in home we usually spend time on computer, and ignores our family. This can cause family problems also.

Positive Impacts of Technology


Positive impact of technology is that before which work we do in days now that we can do in hours. For instance, before sending letter we have to write it first on paper then takes it to post office for delivery. It takes several days before reaching the recipient. But now you just logs in on your PC and types e-mail and it takes seconds and reaches the recipient.

We can check our bank account online, now they are at our finger tips. We can know about the world on internet and about incidents which are happening around the world just in seconds.
You can do online business just sitting on your computer and can deliver and receive money or business items. You can remain in contact with your loved ones all the time when you are away from home through the help of your cell phone.

These are the only general positive impacts of technology while it has so many more.

Bottom Line


The positive and negative impacts of technology go side by side. It’s not the technology which is good or bad. The thing which makes it good or bad is our way of using it. Excess of everything is bad, same rule if we apply and we make limits of using it we can avoid its bad impacts. Anyhow, now life is more dependent on technology but it’s in our hands that how we carry along that!

iTunes is the only way that people can sync their iPod’s and iPhone’s to their computers. This has caused many people to dislike iTunes. However there are other alternative solutions available for such people. An example is the GtkPod media player.

Apple iPod’s and iPhone’s are an addiction for music lovers. However many of them dislike the media player that is supported in the iPod’s and iPhone’s. This media player is known as the iTunes.

iTunes is the only way people can sync their iPod’s and iPhone’s to their computers. This can be frustrating for many people. The first reason for this is that they don’t like the media player itself. The second reason is that they use software’s which don’t support iTunes.   

Linux Users


A disadvantage is that iTunes is only supported in MAC and Windows.  Therefore other users such as Linux users can face problems. They will have to find another way to sync their iPods to their computers.

Other Media Players


There are other media players available for Linux users. An example is the Winamp media player. Most people dislike certain things about iTunes.

There is one problem which cannot be avoided at all. This problem was that users do not like transferring their whole music library to iTunes. This can be problematic and therefore users want other options that they could choose from. One such alternative is being considered below.  

GtkPod


This media player can only be used by Linux users. Linux users can easily transfer music to their iPhone’s and iPod’s by using GtkPod. It is possible for Linux users to use the old version of Amarok. However the new Amarok 2.x cannot support the iPhone’s software as yet.

Problem


The media player GtkPod does solve problems for many iPod and iPhone users, who dislike using iTunes. However GtkPod is not the perfect solution either. It is not an easy media player to use.
People can face difficulties using the GtkPod. This could discourage people in using this media player. However those people who dislike the iTunes should give this media player a try.
