Read the following passage carefully
(8x1=1)
TECHNOLOGY: IMPACT ON THE DAY TO DAY LIFE
What a chance, my dear Sir! All in a matter of decades. How many of you these days to buy a postcard
or an inland letter when there is a phone, mobile, e-mail or even a chit-chatting on the internet? Gone are the
days when letters from far and near brought you close to the heartbeats of your beloved ones. Now, take a look
at the roads of cities, big and small. Cyclists have graduated to become scooterists or riders of bikes and the
owners of two-wheelers have gone in for small cars of different brands. Right form your home you can book
your
rail ticket through mobile or the internet A paradise on earth you have never dreamt of!
(2) But in a moment, you might find that your paradise can degenerate into a hideous nightmare. That is
bound to happen when technology reaches evil minds or when technology is misused to stoke the cinders of
greed and avarice.
(3) Seventy cyber crimes were registered in the country in 2003; these included circulating obscene pictures-
marketed in the name of 'honey- and forgery, money laundering, spamming, disabling a system by sending e-
mails in bulk and stenography, a technology that uses pictures with coded massage concealed behind them.
During the World Trade Centre terrorist'attacks in the accomplices using Stenography. Let us not use technology
to promote depravity and self-destruction.
(4) With information technology likely to enter local self-governance in a big way, the day is not far when
almost all villages in the country would find the vast network of panchayats people friendly. The panchayati Raj
Ministry has already announced that it is going to spend over Rs 1000 crore in 2006-07 towards the installation
of computers in the 2.4 lakh Panchayats to interlink them with each other and also with a national Panchayat
portal. The step would bridge both the rural-urban divide and the digital divide to a great extent besides providing
employment to at least two persons from each Gram Panchayat who would be trained to operate the computers.
(5) Technology has revolutionized the health sector in an unprecedented way. Hospitals, today, have a wide
range of modern tools in the diagnostic field-CT Scan, MRI, CT Coronary, MR Coronary, Ultra Sound Scanning,
Colour Doppler and so on. While these Appliances could go a long way in arriving at a proper diagnosis, it has at
the same time created a great unbridgeable gap between the rich and the poor in the access to modern medicare.
(6) Indeed technology has changed our life pattern bestowing boons and occasionally marring our life, too
You cannot blame technology if it harms you. It is left to human nature to use technology in a beneficial way.
