Our world is run by technology and there is no denying the fact. It has changed almost every facet of our lives. It changed the way we learn, the way we communicate, the way we live and in some cases even changed the way we die. At a less dramatic level, it also changed what we wear and what we eat.
The evolution of civil society (civilization is so old school now) has morphed into an entirely different society than what other early civilizations may have imagined for. From early civilizations like the stone or metal ages (origins traced to Africa & Asia) to antiquity or axial ages (Asia and parts of Europe) to medieval (discovery age, Latin America) to Industrial or Modern age (Europe and Americas), there has been a constant growth, and evolution of the human society. Almost all pre-modern ages focused, on culture and arts, thereby developing human faculties.
Industrial and now Digital age or the computer age, is yet another step towards evolution. However the question that always comes to my mind is – Is technology really helping us evolve?
