If utilized properly and positively,  it will widen your legs and hands as this.

EVALUATING TECHNOLOGY FACILITATING SOME OF THE QUOTES

As we know "Technology" has made our world "A SMALL NUT". Where a person can easily get access to internet and can do and perform anything he / she / hir likes, without any hesitation. It doesn't have any language that it will guide us how to enact upon it, it is mere a machine and a machine needs proper care with advance sustainable precautionary steps, an adequate utilization and polishing from time to time, so is any medium of internet, through which we do interaction. Otherwise it can harm utmost without making you aware. If technology is for humanization, it also works  towards dehumanization. Just a pinch of "how an idea is being utilized"!

Many a times it is happening that people come under influence of technology, and marring their own efficient working psycology. But it happens for time being, if a person is aware about the changes taking place within and without and if understands, one can overcome such things.

It is beneficiary as well as non-beneficiary concerning people's attitude. Who can't adapt and don't have the curiosity of learning and awareness of utilization, might be remaining "dumb" forever. Who is aware of its all pros and cons, will remain a fresh, by knowing every sides of working of technology.

It also happens as the time proceeds that who have mastered the technology will misuse its beneficial aspects and may be in time to come, will harm the innocent people. Who are at all unaware about, what we are, literally the things seem to be and Goin with the flow of life, as river flows into the sea, without knowing at what depth water is going to reach or if it is depthless mingling in sublimation, insertion is dissolved.

"PRETENSION PRECEDES IGNORANCY".

Describes confusion state of mind. Where a person just pretends to be known of everything, but it hasn't regardance with knowing, yes you should know, but it is also an unending process of learning. Which will add to your work profile and you solely have to utilize for your personal, work and others's benefits rather than concerning any other aspect.

It seems as person is still remaining in "nostalgia" where he / she likes to follow "traditional way of reading" rather than following modernization way of e-reading in the form of kindle, i pad or nook or any other.

It can be utilized in moderation by remaining in-between with facilitativeness, because as it gives information about the raw material of printing in terms of publisher, editors, authors, which is being transformed into citational aspect, the book can't give, as it only provides a prepared one thing. Which a person can see and understand but can't go or indulge in the making process, which technology is able to yield.

STEWART BRAND - Emphasizes on adaptability.

For Example: If we see India of two centuries before, where it was taken over by the Britishers.

If we find the reason that why they were able to hault India in an around 1857. We may find that those were well-equipped with all fields of knowledge, they were having "English Language" as a "power tool" to dominate the people.

While on contrary we the Indians weren't as such. We were susceptible to the things, which were possessed by "English-men" and we were perhaps ignorant of our status and so didn't try to reform it.

B. F. SKINNER - Urges on thinking aspect. We're not required to see / it isn't our business to look into, whether machine thinks or not. But yes we're demanded to think and peep into ourselves, that factually if we're thinking or not and if pondering then in what manner.

Is it properly getting reflect on all aspects of technology. As we have seen many a times that first: What we ask to technology, it accepts but if it isn't inserted properly or if the question is inelligible, primarily it will clear it doubt and after clearing it will proceed data further and will provide it in fruitful way, otherwise it can't made happen. Only one thing will happen that if the technology isn't reciprocated appropriately by the humans, it will start confusing or will show its attitude as "Data isn't being found".

ALICE MINIUM - INTERNET itself is a NUKE (a nuclear weapon) if utilized and used properly. But it also needs 'amiability' and 'humanness' as we humans are prone to temptations.

CHRISTIAN LOUS LANGE - TECHNOLOGY MUST BE HUMANS'S SERVANTS NOT THEIR MASTERS.

It is good that a human with adequate understanding and sensibility deal with technology as it is dealt with servants.

It can't be handled rudely / strictly otherwise it will leave our hand and find any other its matching master.

For Example - A drug made by "Dr. Jeckyll" to transform himself into another free- minded personality called "Mr. Hyde". As the drug was taken for a couple of times, and as it was providing him pleasure, it has become his hobby as well as habit and it was such a thing which was giving him tremendous happiness than his reverend profession of doctor and so it was happened that it has overpowered him and started controlling him and eventually had become his master.

SOLUTION - As everything has its limit, it should be dealt accordingly, not one measure high or low but in moderation. As a result what will happen, it will last its life and both will remain with equilibrium paralellity.

CORY DOCTOROW also emphasises on using "technology rightly" else misusing it.

As we humanbeings are, technology also requires "empathy" and "faith" towards it. Otherwise it is also prone to react as per human's actions.

We can take many examples from literature..

Medieval Era(English Literature) : Dr. Faustus{1604}

(Famous for necromancy, but obsessiveness led towards destruction).

Indian Literature(Tughlaq{1977}): Tughlaq himself is obsessed in power, and as unable to gain the predicted result, is led towards his fated downfall.

There are many including this like; Dr. Jeckyll(The strange case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde{1855}). 

Ahab from (Mobydick{1851}).

Anything which is in excess amount, is leading towards destruction. So the resolution is to enjoy each and everything in balancing sum.

ABHIJIT NASKAR WANTS TO SAY THAT : If a pateint goes to the doctor, the doctor only needs stethoscope to examine the patient? And after examing his duty is over? No. Along with examination he also needs to prescribe the required medicines, injections, precautions, diet etc. So gradually the hope is solidified that the concerned patient will recover slowly and steadily. Otherwise it isn't possible to.

Likewise computer works. It isn't only based on numeric data(as it is mentioned in the concerning quote{algorithms}). It much requires "Text based data" as it is in one of the reasons of "why DH in English departments section" by MATHEW J. KRISCHENBAUM.

It comprises both; digitization as well as humanities and with intervention and negotiation of humanities it works. What it wasn't able to serve earlier or serving by in chunks now it is able to serve in ample.

NADINE GORDIMER STRESSING ON : The traditional aspect of reading that in conventional mode, if we see the reading aspect it doesn't need any batteries for 'charging' as it is needed in 'e-reading' like aspect, where reading is being done on ipad, kindle, nook etc.

But the concern writer doesn't seem to see that it has also enhanced transparency towards information, in traditional time, we weren't having that flexibility towards ideas, solutions, which we're having in today's era.

For example take one of the status quo of present times (NOVEL COVID 19). Where along with precautions, we're also given the information of exact figure of a number of deaths, injuries inflicted to the people. How those as per their consumption tendency, digesting information and also not getting time in circulating and boasting as something essential is being by them.

While it also has advantages along with disadvantages as a person can also check for any information's authentication and that is also done with the aid of technology.

LASZLO KRANZNAHORKAI : EMPHASIZES ON READING ASPECT AND CONTRAST IT WITH TECHNOLOGY AND PEOPLE.

wants to say as I have inscribed under one of the quotes, that as technology reads each and every information, inserted by we "humans", it isn't being done reflectively by the humanbeings.

As we don't read information is obviously remaining in incomplete, blur state and sometimes as a result of wrongly reading, it is falsely misinterpreted and accordingly is spreaded among the onlookers or backbiters and as they're concerned for such things, it gets spreaded as wild-fire.

As reading has connection with listening and as it is a reserved parts of one of the soft skills, it must be well-

Thus we saw here how ideas and perspectives differ from person to person and how it serves us with plentiful generative ideas with respective solutions.
