Technology related
concern:
Technology has been a boon to the society in many ways but it
also has affected the society in a negative way. It is normal
everything in the world has an uglier side to it. But, we as humans
must always stick to positive sides and make use of them to help
the world evolve into a better one.
- Technology has majorly affected the social life of humans. It
claims to increase the social life of humans by giving us websites
like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. but are
they actually increasing our social presence. The answer to it is
"No" as in these websites we talk to people whom
we don't know from face-to-face relations.
- There are been claims that 23% of people on
social media are fake or are having different identities from which
they claim to be on social media. Are we growing social in such
kind of conditions and this is not fair to society? Yes, it helps
us to know news faster than anything but 37% of
the news on social media is also fake.
- Now, talking about the family after social media no one is
connecting as they were connecting on the individual level. The use
of video-calls, phone-calls, social media has increased due to
which the concept of the nuclear family has been on fire. There are
very few joint families living together. According to a study,
there are only 7% of families that are currently
living as joint families.
- Use of technologies in schools has also made children dumb as
they are spoon-fed everything there. The whole point of research
and development has been spooked out as everything now is just a
few clicks away. The use of laptops, mobile phones, etc. has also
made individuals dumb.
- There are individuals who earn from websites like
Youtube, Tik-Tok, etc. Some of them make
educational videos that are useful. But half of the youth is
pranking, giving entertainment more space, etc. People have lost
faith in pursuing higher studies as they are earning from it a
lot.
Hence, these are some of the negative aspects of the technology
that needs to be given a thing by everyone and we must not misuse
the technology as it will only leave destruction in our way.
What can a system
analyst do?
- So, when looking at such impacts or negative aspects of
technology what a system analyst can do is analyze the aspects and
work on building an alternative for this negative aspect to the
positive ones. If we have to elaborate it I would like to take the
above example and explain what I mean by this.
- Suppose, if we are to talk about the fifth point in the above
article what a system analyst can do is redesign the concept on
which the application is working till now; to encourage people to
start creating useful and informational content we can offer them
certain advantages by creating such contents. As most of the
platform do nowadays, they run specific contests in order to
promote brands, etc.
- In a similar way they can also present the same things to the
user so that the platform is being accessed by more people which
will be better for both the company as well as the audience. Hence,
getting things done effectively is what system analysts do.
Hence, these are some of the technology-related concerns and how
a system analyst can handle them by redesigning the objectives of
the system.
