14 DAY TRIAL // When you sit at a restaurant, you can’t help but notice how everybody around is fiddling with a touch-enabled device. It can be the kid playing on the tablet or the adult checking working emails on the smartphone, they are everywhere.
Now a new survey commissioned by Intel Corporation showcases that the reality we live in might not only be called the era of technology, but the era of inhumanity as well, reports NDTV.
The research includes a whopping 12,000 people aged 18 and older. Out of them, older women located in emerging markets seem to display the most enthusiasm for what technology can do for them.
90% of young adults who took part in the study claim that technology helps them make life easier, but 60% also acknowledge that technology is relied upon too much and can become dehumanizing.
70% of the people surveyed say that technology helps them maintain their personal relationships while almost half say that tech is a beneficial aspect of education, transportation and healthcare.
The research was conducted across Brazil, China, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan and United States.
