ERA OF LIES AND TECHNOLOGY!!!!

Looking at how technology has enhanced our way of life in every sector of the economy. I can confidently say it has become an important part of our society. Technology has accelerated, enriched and deepened our basic skills and it has become the status quo in a rapidly developing society such as ours.

Computers are becoming more affordable and are depended upon by many people to aid them in their daily lives. Mobile phones and handheld devices are seeing a big push in the market. 

Indeed we have derived great benefits from its usage. Talk of Social, Economic, Telecommunication, Transportation and industrialization all has helped in pushing for today's information-based society.

At this point I would like to gear into a particular issue I find amusing and disturbing at the same time. It’s the issue of lies and the blatant disregard of how we tell it.we lie almost everywhere and with the advent of technology.it has become easier to make mockery of people through these mobile devices.

Imagine yourself in a vehicle bound for a particular destination, and suddenly someone receives a phone call and you overheard them saying, “I am at home sleeping/I am on a flight to South Africa/I am at the mall with Akosua. I guess you may feel disgusted and at the same time guilty but because your conscience pricks you for doing something similar, you brush it off.

Also imagine you just read the status of a friend on Facebook and it says "lunch at Movenpick Hotel" and you go like wow. My friend must be enjoying life. Meanwhile they are on their bed sleeping or going about their daily business without a hint of the location they just updated.

Voice call is the worst culprit of the "universal lying tool" and everyone is trying to take advantage of it. But hey life still goes on and if you come across someone lying on the phone. Don’t get apprehensive or judgmental because you are equally guilty. There is no saint in the land of technological deception. We are all a part of it. Lying on phone is one of the most common things done today and technology has worsened it.

These days, there are various handheld and mobile devices in the market which has further enhanced the communication process. We can do virtually everything with these devices. Their features give the users the ability to manipulate their location, voice, image and a host of other things.

When it comes to telling lies I wonder if some people were born that way or it is just a virtue of great talent. Each one of us has, at some point, lied to somebody about something and we always justify it .sometimes it comes with an uncomfortable feeling when you are a first timer. But for those who have mastered the art. They quickly brush aside those feelings.
