NO Technology

What would happen to the world if there's NO Technology

Just imagine a day at school without technology. How would you contact with your friend, teacher or family at another location? Can you access, build, revise or repair without computer or power supply? Can you run tests, analyze data or control variables without a single technological tool? How did you get to learn in school with not heat or light to begin with?

This scenario may seem ridiculous, but I want to make it clear that technology have already affects every aspect of our life. It makes it possible for the work that we do to be more accurate, more efficient, more effective and more supportable.

If we're staying in the house with no TV, no Internet, No phone, no fan or air- conditional, no refrigerator and etc., what will happen to us? We will become lazy, uneducated and useless.

If we go by this, we would only survive at the level of animals. We would not even be able to use rocks to cut flesh open, since that is also a technology. Spears, bows and arrows, hammers and even slingshots would not be used since it is a technology. We would not be able to survive if we went back to before the Neolithic age (New stone era), when we had a technology. We would probably just kill small animals with our bare fists and eating them raw without cook it since fire is a technology and sleeping in the ground and so on. If we cannot even use the six simple machines, then the humanity is doomed to eventual destruction since humans are prepared for survival with mental capability and not physical capability.

Today, we will collaborate using technology to share information that impacts our decisions offline. And we collaborate to consume, we collaborate to entertain ourselves, we collaborate for experiences, for learning, for exercise, for causes, for experiments, for business and for living. Some technologies have been around for a while. Others have only recently been developed.

Technology has always been focused on improving our lives but more recently the technology has made real-time, location-based collaboration possible. Specifically, mobile technology now allows us to interact with online communities from anywhere at any time. It has allowed us to experience the world around us not only through our own knowledge and resources, but through the knowledge and resources of the people around us.

Think about what the world could look like as collaborative technology continues to grow. What will the world look like when you can rely on normal human beings instead of big businesses to provide you with what you need? Not only will the economy be more efficient, but our lives will be enriched because we’re connecting with real people who are all part of one global, collaborative community.
