It is making everyone lazy. On the other hand , cyber crimes are also growing . The key word for this is caution.  We must make judicious use of technology and should not completely depend on it. These devices are not good for our brain, eyes ,ears and our overall health. We must believe in natural and simple living. May I request your good self to publish an eyeopener article on this topic in your...
