Evolution of technology has given way to advanced and modern lifestyle on one hand, and growing lethargic attitude of people on the other hand. A surge in technology has made us laidback and more dependent over time. Human brains have become so accustomed to the sci-fi lifestyle, that seed of imagination and creativity has got somewhere lost. Is technology a boon or a bane, is one question that everyone is well versed with. Given that, every individual has his or her own interpretation to this question. Today's generation is so caught up with their phones and tablets, they hardly spare some time to delve into creative thinking. Nonetheless, the automated cars, e-portals, and other consumer friendly devices have made our lives a lot easier than it was few decades ago. But if the cost to the easy and flexible lifestyle is in terms of your giving away of thinking and creativity, is it warranted? Moreover, growing dependence on the technologically advanced device not only kill the ability to think creatively but also severely affect the retention power of the brain.

Having mentioned the various setbacks of the technology, one cannot agree less that technology has made our lives better. It is imperative to realize the pitfalls of technology and not become a bait of the comfort and luxury.
