can technology dehumanize society?

Answer 1

It doesn't matter. The benefits outweigh the risks. Humanity has to move forward. To do otherwise is to stagnate and die. We will continue to grow and change and redefine what it means to be human.

Answer 2

It has already dehumanized the society to a greater extend. This is particularly true in case of classrooms where more weight-age is given to usage of technology in education.
How can one expect computers to teach love, sympathy, respect,and positive thinking that are the very base of society. How can you expect children who spend more of their time with computers learn to adjust with their peer group?
Children learn from seeing things happen around them. They react to situations by remembering what elders did in similar previous situations. Now we are depriving them of seeing humans and make them more interactive with machines which are lifeless, particularly when it comes to teaching human feelings and social values. The same children form tomorrows society. Think what society it will be with human beings without a human heart?

Answer 3

ohh god this is such a GP question.. hmm in my opinion, technology serves to help us, so it can only 'dehumanize' society to a small extent. the bigger picture of what we're dealing with is ultimately up to us.
but on a side note, technology can desensitize us. eg, violent shows on tv,....... of course this is vgeneral, u may want to think deeper!

Answer 4

yes. it already has, to some degree. it causes less face-to-face human interaction, so we're interacting more with computers than actual people.

Answer 5

Its all up to an individuals point of view, i guess... but i think it dosen't. tech makes daily activities easy and better. tech helps makes our lives a lot better!
