Misuse of Information Technology

The main misuses of technology are related to culture and education. Some people are not cultured to appropriately use technology as a tool. Most of them use it to find an easy solution to the problem or as a trend. Others are not educated to use technology correctly.

Since technology offers a variety of services, it can harm the users in many ways. Now a day, people are more concerned about the misuse and abuse of technology. Internet had led to a threat to people, as well as allowing the plagiarism and piracy.

Educational institutions are worried about student’s misuses of technology. Children learn to play online games and surfs on non suitable web sites. They also start using mobile phones at an early age. These children may not know how to use technology properly. They might use the phone’s functions, such as camera, to damage other people’s reputations.

Because of all these, some people think that technology is harmful and it should be responsible for the bad society. However, people have to understand that what is happening in our today’s society is the result of technology misuse. As a tool, it does not do anything to threaten the society, but it’s the misuse of it that intimidate our society.

If someone is to be responsible for what technology has done to the society, then it should be human beings themselves. The guilt is on the user of technology, not the technology itself.
