Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to be participating in this week's prompt, technology and profits.
Technology is one thing that makes life so easy. The importance of technology in the lives of humans can’t be overemphasised. One amazing thing about technology is that it keeps advancing every day. I can remember back to the days during the period of our forefathers when farming was not easy for them; everything was manual, and the pass-through stress while farming.
But today technology and science have rephrased the agricultural sector. Farming is now very easy, from cultivating to harvesting the produce, a large amount of farm products. Of course, it has really been of help to human farmers; they don’t really have to stress themselves that much when it comes to producing food. Seeing this topic, I come to realise why there is sickness everywhere. I so much believe in what we consume killing so fast. The more we apply technology to source our food, the less nutritional they are.
I have lived in the north, and technology is really helping them. They are able to produce a large amount of food because technology assists them in most of the farm work, from the clearing of the bush to the planting and so on. Here in Nigeria, the northern part is where the people that produce the large food in the country are. No doubt that technology has really helped farmers. I can remember when I was small, my granny would always complain of pests eating up their crops. Technology has provided solutions to that.
Oh yes, technology has provided answers to many of our farming problems, but since it was introduced, it has really exposed humans to danger. Mechanised farmers are after the quantity of the foods they will sell and make money; they don’t care about the nutrient or the quality of food to humans. Most times I sit and ask myself, why is a human after money more than life? During the days of our ancestors, everything about them was natural; their fertiliser was natural, and when you eat the product, it is so healthy to humans. Most of these substances are very harmful to our health. The way people die on a daily basis is too much; most of the things we consume are the cause.
This is not a fair price to pay because people’s health is at stake.
The only thing we can do is to reduce the way we make use of technology when it comes to farming.
There is a need for us to have a little garden in our house. This farmer uses technology because they are trying to produce a lot of food for consumption.
Most of these farmers are ignorant of the harmful substances they use; enlightening them will be nice.
Do you think that technology has done us more harm than good? Please leave a comment in my comment section.
