Technology : an advancement or disaster

Technology : an advancement or disaster to mankind?
"In this growing era of technology we are heading towards getting more ease in our daily life which has lead to numerous problems". The above statement is a cliche line everyone has heard of but analysing it is even more problematic. As 21st century penetrates we are more into developing humungus machines which not only can perform tasks but can think and develop on their own. Systems which can analyse data and generate results beyond human scope. In coming future no one can predict the limitations of technology. But what about our natural brains? Isn't it a matter of concern.What about the thinking capabilities of a non technical developer? These questions raise a strong issue of deteriorating human capabilities if problem persists. Humans rather than just having adverse effects on their health are also affected at a scientific and logical level. Sharing of ideas,conversation,education,leisure,development etc are just relied on technology. Every sector is being clutched by a working robotic machine. Making things easier has now become more difficult. Humans have limited their capabilities to think even simpler problems without even knowing. With every positive thing comes twice negative things and in this case even more. All physical entities are now being digitized to a level unimaginable.
This is not even uniform, the disparity in society plays a major role in marginalizing a large section of people in nations like India. In the near future we can imagine a world where a section is highly dependant on AI systems which has lost their basic capabilities meanwhile a section deprived of all facilities and still striving for basic amenities.          
Just complaining or criticizing the very need is not a motive instead the barrier which is to be set is a concern and understanding that everything does not need to be optimized. Learning and innovating is needed to grow but adverse repercussions on a social level should also be taken in mind.
