Why technology can never stop growing?

We may use it or abuse it, but technology is something we can not imagine living without, however simple the idea may seem. So where does the technology trying to lead us? A fully digital world we might say.

Amidst us trying to figure out the apocalypse for technology or the moot point of its achievement, ever wondered if maybe technology is ‘immortal’? If we observe carefully, not everyone from the 7.5 billion on this earth see and understand technology the same way. It is an idea known differently to different people.

Let’s say there are three divisions of people under the tech umbrella.

The seekers, the keepers and the creators. All of them see technology as the fastest growing idea in the world. The seekers are set of people to whom technology has not yet reached properly. Their idea about it is something levelling a magic trick. They are curious to work for, with and towards technology, mesmerised by its power.

The keepers are set of people who are living inside the tech bubble, using as well as abusing it. They make a great source of feedback. Sometimes they find themselves on the edge of boredom from an over-usage of technology, and other times they think of it as a bane that has enslaved the society.

The creators are a set of people who gave birth to technology. They are neither curious nor bored, but always skeptical. They never feel they have levelled up, not even an iota closer to what ‘real technology’ could be. They’re always on a lookout for improvisation.

For one division technology is just starting to fly, for the other it has already flown and landed. And for some it is somewhere in-between. Different minds have different ways to perceive it. If we believe the annual charts, it is consistently growing but that consistency is a ‘variable leak’ when we start studying these divisions further. And this leak point towards the fact that technology is immortal and has no moot point.

Because seekers will become keepers someday, and keepers might become creators of new advanced ideas. Creators then will become seekers again, to revolutionise their existing ideas. And the cycle is never ending.

Hail, to this immortal Idea!

Hail, to technology.
