Technologies are not harmful but people use it for bad purposes.

Technology refers to the set of tools, techniques and systems developed by humans to make their life easier and more efficient. Techniques like the Internet, social media, and smart phones have revolutionized the way we communicate, learn and conduct business. They have also improved healthcare, transportation and security. However, it is generally true that technologies themselves are not harmful. They are created to make our life easier and more productive. The way we choose to use them can have negative outcomes.

For example, Social media platforms were created to connect people and share ideas, but some individuals have turned them into tools to spread hate speech, misinformation and cyberbullying. So, it is not the fault of social media. We are responsible for this.

In today’s fast-paced world, smart phones have become an essential part of our lives. We cannot imagine our lives without them as they have made our live easier and more convenient. We use them to connect with our loved ones, stay updated with the latest news and even to work. One of the most common misuses of smart phones is addiction. Many of us have become addicted to our smart phones and cannot go a single day without checking our notifications. This addiction can cause mental health problems and can even affect our personal and professional lives. Another harmful use of smartphones is cyberbullying. With the rise of social media, cyberbullying has become a prevalent problem, especially among teenagers. People use smart phones to harass, intimidate and spread rumors about others online. Cyberbullying can have severe consequences, such as depression, anxiety and even suicide. Smart phones can also be used for hacking purposes, Hackers can gain unauthorized access to our smart phones, steal our personal information and misuse it for their benefit. So, we can say that smart phones are not harmful, but how we use them can be. We need to be aware of the potential harms of smart  phone misuse.

Internet is a revolutionary technological innovation that has transformed the world by connecting people, services and business. It has become an essential part of our daily lives and has provided us with numerous opportunities for communication, learning, entertainment etc. However, there are many people who use the Internet for negative purposes, which often cause harm to society. Nonetheless, This doesn’t mean that the Internet is harmful. The internet has created a platform for people to express their thoughts, connect with others, share information. The Internet has made communication easier, connecting people across the globe with just a click of a button. But some people use the Internet to spread propaganda, fake news, promote hate and incite violence. Furthermore, Children are also at risk of being exposed to inappropriate content online. They may stumble upon websites, images and videos that may have a negative impact on their mental health. Even though, the Internet  can be used for negative purposes, it is not harmful in itself. The Internet is a tool and its impact on society depends how it is used. It is up to individuals to use the internet responsibly, be aware of the online risks.

From the picture, we see that everyone is busy at their phone. They are addicted to it. And the another boy is alone with the football. The other peoples are ignoring him. Everyone is using their phones. So it is the users fault. They are giving  technology more important their friends.

In conclusion, we can say that technologies are powerful tool that has revolutionized society in many ways. They are connected to people from all over the world. So they are not harmful but we are responsible for spreading negative effects. We are responsible to conduct illegal activities by using the technologies. আমরা প্রযুক্তিকে ব‍্যবহার করছি ; প্রযুক্তি আমাদেরকে ব‍্যবহার করছে না। আমরা খারাপ উদ্দেশ্যে প্রযুক্তিকে ব‍্যবহার করছি। So, our uses of technologies are harmful.
