Why Technology Must Remain Our Servant, Not Our Master

Technology may connect billions of devices, but only humanity can truly connect hearts The smartphone is undoubtedly one of humanity's greatest inventions. It has revolutionised communication, education, healthcare, banking, governance and commerce, placing an unprecedented amount of knowledge and convenience in the palm of our hands. Yet, like every technological revolution, its misuse has created challenges that society is only beginning to understand. Today, millions of people are not merely using social mediathey are increasingly living for it. Virtual approval has begun replacing genuine human happiness, while digital popularity is often mistaken for personal success. According to the Global Digital Report 2025 (DataReportal), there are over 5.5 billion internet users worldwide, including more than 5.2 billion active social media users. The average person spends over 2 hours and 20 minutes every day on social networking platforms. Among teenagers and young adults, daily usage frequently exceeds five to seven hours. What was originally designed as a communication tool has gradually evolved into a powerful force shaping emotions, relationships, opinions and even personal identity. Social media platforms are driven by sophisticated algorithms designed to maximise user engagement rather than personal well-being. Every notification, like, comment and share activates the brain's reward circuitry by releasing dopaminethe neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and anticipation. Neuroscientists have compared this intermittent reward mechanism to those employed by gambling machines, making repeated checking of smartphones almost instinctive. It is therefore unsurprising that many users unconsciously unlock their phones over 100 times a day, often without any genuine purpose. The consequences are increasingly visible in everyday life. Family dinners are interrupted by smartphones. Tourist destinations are visited more for photographs than for appreciation. Concerts are watched through mobile screens instead of with one's own eyes. Weddings, birthdays, festivals and even acts of charity are frequently staged for online audiences rather than experienced personally. Memories are no longer treasured in the heart; they are converted into reels and stories. Experiences appear meaningful only after accumulating likes, comments and shares. The Young Generation: The Greatest Casualty Perhaps the most disturbing consequence of excessive smartphone and social media use is its impact on children and adolescents. This is the first generation in history to grow up with smartphones from early childhood, and mounting scientific evidence suggests that excessive digital exposure is affecting their mental health, learning ability, emotional stability and social development. According to UNICEF, nearly one in every three internet users worldwide is a child. The Global Digital Report 2025 estimates that teenagers spend between four and seven hours daily on smartphones outside schoolwork, leaving little time for reading, sports, hobbies, family interaction or outdoor play. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that problematic social media use among adolescents has increased sharply in recent years. Many young people exhibit addictive behavioural patterns, including compulsive checking of phones, anxiety when disconnected, inability to control screen time and emotional dependence on online approval. Such behaviour has been linked with declining academic performance, poor sleep quality, reduced physical activity, increased anxiety and depression. A landmark 2023 advisory by the U.S. Surgeon General reported that adolescents spending more than three hours daily on social media face almost twice the risk of developing symptoms of anxiety and depression compared with moderate users. Excessive exposure has also been associated with loneliness, body-image dissatisfaction, eating disorders, low self-esteem and self-harm among vulnerable adolescents. Education is suffering as well. Research published by UNESCO and several international educational institutions indicates that excessive smartphone use significantly reduces attention span, weakens memory retention and interferes with deep learning. Every notification interrupts concentration, forcing the brain to restart the learning process. Cognitive scientists estimate that after each interruption, it may require 20 to 25 minutes to regain full concentration. Thus, what appears to be a harmless glance at a notification often results in prolonged loss of productivity. Sleep deprivation has emerged as another silent epidemic. Blue light emitted by smartphone screens suppresses melatonin production, delaying sleep and reducing sleep quality. The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends minimising recreational screen exposure before bedtime because inadequate sleep adversely affects memory, emotional regulation, immunity and academic performance. Social media has also created an environment of relentless comparison. Carefully edited photographs, filtered lifestyles and unrealistic standards of beauty and success often make young people believe that their ordinary lives are somehow inadequate. The American Psychological Association (APA) reports that continuous exposure to idealised online images contributes significantly to anxiety, depression and poor body image, particularly among adolescent girls. Cyberbullying has become another major public health concern. According to UNESCO, nearly one in three students worldwide has experienced bullying, with online harassment becoming increasingly common. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying follows victims into their homes through their digital devices, leaving them with no safe refuge and causing long-lasting psychological trauma. If these trends continue unchecked, society risks raising a generation that communicates fluently through screens but struggles with empathy, patience, attentive listening and genuine human relationships. Emotional intelligence develops primarily through face-to-face interactionnot through emojis, notifications, or follower counts. Perhaps the greatest casualty has been genuine human relationships. Modern communication has become faster but not necessarily deeper. A person may have thousands of online followers yet struggle to find a single trusted friend during a personal crisis. Family members living under the same roof increasingly spend evenings interacting more with their screens than with one another. Digital communication has expanded networks while paradoxically shrinking emotional intimacy. Another troubling development is the growing influence of algorithms on independent thinking. Social media platforms personalise content according to previous preferences, gradually creating echo chambers where users repeatedly encounter only opinions that reinforce their existing beliefs. This weakens critical thinking, narrows intellectual diversity and increases political and social polarisation. Instead of encouraging thoughtful dialogue, algorithms often reward outrage, sensationalism and confirmation bias because such content generates higher engagement. Public discourse has also changed. Charity initiatives, environmental campaigns and acts of kindness undoubtedly deserve appreciation. However, when humanitarian work is undertaken primarily for publicity rather than compassion, the line between genuine service and self-promotion becomes blurred. Increasingly, the value of an action appears to depend not on its social impact but on the number of views, likes and shares it receives. The economic consequences are equally significant. Workplace studies indicate that repeated smartphone interruptions substantially reduce productivity because every distraction requires additional time for the brain to regain focus. Employees who constantly switch attention between work and notifications experience reduced efficiency, increased errors and greater mental fatigue. None of this suggests that technology itself is harmful. On the contrary, smartphones have revolutionised education, enabled telemedicine, improved disaster management, expanded financial inclusion through digital payments and connected families separated by continents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies allowed education, business and governance to continue despite unprecedented restrictions. The challenge, therefore, lies not in technology itself, but in the manner in which society chooses to use it. The solution lies not in rejecting technology but in restoring balance. Families should consciously establish screen-free periods during meals and conversations. Schools should incorporate digital literacy alongside conventional education, teaching students not merely how to operate technology but how to use it responsibly. Employers should encourage uninterrupted work periods, while individuals should periodically disconnect from digital platforms to reconnect with nature, hobbies and meaningful face-to-face relationships. Ultimately, the quality of life cannot be measured by online popularity. A thousand likes cannot replace a heartfelt conversation. Viral fame cannot substitute genuine friendship. No algorithm can replicate the comfort of a caring family or the peace of a clear conscience. Technology must remain humanity's servantnot become its master. The true richness of life lies not in how many people view our moments online, but in how deeply we experience those moments ourselves. If society fails to restore equilibrium between the virtual and the real, it risks sacrificing independent thought, meaningful relationships, mental well-being and inner contentment for the fleeting illusion of digital validation. The greatest achievements of civilisation have never been measured by notifications, followers or viral content. They have always been built upon wisdom, compassion, integrity, meaningful relationships and strength of character. Technology may connect billions of devices, but only humanity can truly connect hearts. (The Author is B.E. (Mech), B.O.E., ASME, Deputy Director of Boilers (Retd.), Mysuru)

Bloom Avenue: A Year-Round Flower Corridor on Bengaluru's Major Arterial Road in Kempegowda Layout

UnboxingBLR joins the record-breaking plantation drive on June 27th announced by the state government. Spread across 8 kms and 6,000+ saplings, UBLRs drive focuses on avenue roads, round-abouts in the new Kempegowda Layout Thrust on native, colour-sequenced flowering species to ensure that some part of the corridor is always in bloom round the year The plantation drives two-pronged approach keeps both aesthetics and environment in mind while boosting Bengalurus green heritage UnboxingBLR joins forces with the Bangalore Development Authority's (BDA) plantation drive with its uniquely designed Bloom Avenue project on the Major Arterial Road connecting Mysuru Road and Magadi Road. UBLR planting the first sapling for Bloom Avenue on Major Arterial Road On June 27th, as part of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Jayanthi celebration, the Karnataka government announced a single-day plantation drive with over 50,000 volunteers planting 1.5 million saplings in Bengaluru - targeting a spot in the Guinness World Record. The city-focused not-for-profit UBLR participated in the initiative with its Bloom Avenue project. Along the major arterial Road in Kempegowda Layout and roundabouts, UBLR has begun planting 6000+ saplings across 8 kms. UBLRs plantation drive is at least partly inspired by the citys green historical legacy. Bengaluru's identity as India's Garden City was never accidental, it was cultivated. The city's most enduring botanical legacy traces to Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel, the landscape architect who shaped its parks and avenues in the early twentieth century. This received a major boost in the 1980s from the then Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) S. G. Neginhalwho played a significant role in expanding Bengaluru's urban tree cover and reinforcing its Garden City identity. Both Krumbiegel and Neginhal have given Bengaluru its defining character of tree-lined avenue roads and seasonal colour. That legacy has shaped how generations of residents relate to their city. Bloom Avenue is a conscious continuation of that tradition by restoring intentional, aesthetically considered greenery to a major urban corridor at a moment when the city's green cover faces sustained pressure from rapid growth and densification. Bloom Avenue concept visualised using AI UBLRs Avenue Bloom focuses on flowering species that are colour-sequenced and coordinated so that some part of the corridor is in bloom every month of the year. The initiative strikes a delicate balance between aesthetics and native species in its plantation drive. Bloom Avenue is a deliberate greening intervention on a Bengaluru arterial road in recent memory. Further, the green initiative is designed to attract birds and butterflies to the layout when the saplings mature and grow into trees. The Project Bloom is being executed in partnership with BDA, which also supplied the flowering saplings through its Forest Division. UBLR has funded and executed all ground-level operations, including pit digging and planting. UBLR will undertake all protective measures during the growth period and will be responsible for watering and maintenance of these plants for the first three years. The corridor is divided into eight one-kilometre sub-zones, each planted with a distinct colour pairing drawn from complementary species ensuring that at least one sub-zone is in full bloom at any point in the year. Species selection prioritises indigenous varieties deeply adapted to Bengaluru's climate; where naturalised non-native species are included, they carry strong cultural and botanical ties to the city's history. Phase 2 will extend planting to service roads alongside ongoing maintenance of Phase 1 saplings. The three-year maintenance commitment covers watering, monitoring, replacement of failed saplings, and upkeep to BDA standards. Long back, German botanist Krumbiegel made Bengaluru bloom all through the year. Decades later, the beauty of his work endures, enriching the citys natural heritage and enhancing Bengalurus aesthetic appeal. Taking inspiration, Project Bloom focuses on both native species and flowering aesthetics to boost Bengalurus natural heritage for future generations. What makes this project special is the coming together of citizens, institutions, and government around a shared vision for the city, Prashanth Prakash, Chairman, UnboxingBLR Foundation. We are very pleased to see Bloom Avenue move from concept to ground reality. The BDA has been glad to facilitate this, from providing the saplings and granting the necessary approvals, to supporting a model of civic collaboration that we hope will inspire many more such partnerships across the city. The Magadi RoadMysuru Road corridor will be greener and more beautiful for it, Major Manivannan P, Commissioner, Bangalore Development Authority. "Bloom Avenue is exactly the kind of initiative Bengaluru needs by being citizen-led, rigorously planned, and built for the long term. A green, blooming corridor along Magadi Road and Mysuru Road will benefit the residents and communities and serve as a model for how our arterial roads can be transformed. We are happy to have it as part of the plantation drive for Kempegowda Jayanthi celebration on June 27th," N. A. Haris, Chairman, Bangalore Development Authority. About UnboxingBLR Foundation UnboxingBLR (UBLR) is a Bengaluru-focused not-for-profit platform working with multiple stakeholders to envision and execute city-scale projects. UBLR operates at the intersection of content, culture, and city-building, documenting the city's journey, shaping its civic agenda, and building programmes designed to last.
