A dangerous precedent? Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest stokes speech war

Tech founder’s arrest in France highlights debate about whether platforms are responsible for the speech of their users.

In the war for control of the internet, the potential significance of Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest is difficult to overstate.

At the heart of French authorities’ case against the Russian-born billionaire is an enormously consequential question: are online platforms legally responsible for the speech of their users?

Prosecutors say Durov was detained as part of an investigation involving 12 criminal allegations, most of them related to “complicity” in serious crimes ranging from drug trafficking to the distribution of child sex abuse material.

While governments around the world have for years sought to exert greater control over online speech – cracking down on everything from racial hatred and internet bullying to “misinformation” about the COVID-19 pandemic – the arrest of a tech founder by a liberal democracy has few, if any, precedents.

Perhaps the closest parallel is the case of Facebook executive Diego Dzodan, who was arrested by Brazilian authorities in 2016 over the tech company’s alleged refusal to hand over WhatsApp messages related to a drug trafficking investigation.

Dzodan was released after nearly 24 hours in custody after a judge ruled that his detention was “extreme” and amounted to “unlawful coercion”.

The argument that tech companies should be held criminally liable for the activities of people who use their services is, at best, tendentious.

A less generous view would be that it is nonsensical.

Car companies, for example, are not considered responsible for drunk drivers or bank robbers using their vehicles to flee.

Many of the issues at the heart of the debate were in fact largely settled decades ago in the United States, the birthplace of the internet and the home of many of the world’s most influential platforms.

The Communications Decency Act, passed in 1996, provides broad immunity to internet providers for the content that they host out of a recognition that a free and open internet could not exist otherwise.

Others are sceptical that a hands-off approach to moderation is a reasonable excuse for avoiding responsibility.

Timothy Koskie, a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Media and Communications at the University of Sydney, said that moderation of one kind or another is fundamental to the existence of every platform.

“If I were to touch that analogy of the car, I would say the question is the extent to which the taxi driver is complicit in giving a ride to the bank robber,” Koskie said.

While other countries have less robust free speech protections than the US, even governments that have significantly tightened the reins on platforms have been forced to back down from more extreme proposals.

The European Union, which introduced comprehensive regulations to tackle online harm with the Digital Services Act in 2022, in June cancelled a vote on proposals to mass-scan encrypted messaging apps for child sex abuse material after critics likened the measures to George Orwell’s 1984.

Unsurprisingly, Durov’s arrest has sent a chill through the tech scene, where libertarian ideals about free speech and privacy are widely championed.

Many tech entrepreneurs and internet freedom advocates argue that Durov’s arrest sets a dangerous precedent and have called for his release under the hashtag #FreePavel.

Andy Yen, the founder of Switzerland-based email provider Proton Mail, described the criminal case as “insane” and suggested that tech founders may no longer be safe to travel to France.

“This is economic suicide and is rapidly and permanently changing the perception of founders and investors,” Yen said in a post on X.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski, whose video platform has positioned itself as an anti-censorship alternative to YouTube, said he had “safely departed” Europe.

“France has threatened Rumble, and now they have crossed a red line by arresting Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, reportedly for not censoring speech,” Pavlovski said on X.

“Rumble will not stand for this behaviour and will use every legal means available to fight for freedom of expression, a universal human right.”

Some commentators have also questioned why Durov has been singled out when other platforms host harmful content.

X owner Elon Musk, who has called for Durov’s release, claimed that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had been able to avoid the glare of authorities because of his willingness to censor content and share users’ data.

While self-avowed libertarian Durov is on record as being suspicious of state control,  the characterisation of him as a free speech warrior among a crowd of government lackeys sidesteps an important distinction between Telegram and other platforms.

Unlike WhatsApp and Signal, Telegram has access to most of the content shared by its users as it does not use end-to-end encryption by default.

That means that Telegram can share information with authorities to an extent that is not true for some of its competitors.

Potentially, that makes the platform an easier target for authorities frustrated over the tech sector’s perceived lack of cooperation with law enforcement.

Questions have also been raised about the geopolitical implications of the case against Durov, who left Russia in 2014 after refusing to silence opposition groups on the earlier VK social network.

In Russia, both allies and critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin have called for his release in a rare alignment between political foes.

The French government has sought to dispel any suggestion that Durov’s arrest is politically motivated or at odds with civil liberties.

“France is deeply committed to freedom of expression and communication, to innovation, and to the spirit of entrepreneurship. It will remain so,” French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.

The success or otherwise of those assurances may hinge on what happens next.

After a maximum of 96 hours in custody, Durov must either be charged or released on Wednesday.

Koskie said there are a lot of unknowns about the case and how “idiosyncratic” the underpinning legal theory may be.

“It could be that, within the investigation, there is a much more personal tie to the situation than exists at any other platform, in which case this organisation has simply crossed a line that no other platforms have, but the line was always there,” he said.

Telegram Becomes Free Speech Flashpoint After Founder’s Arrest

Pavel Durov, the founder of the app, which has more than 900 million users, was taken into custody by the French authorities.

• Share full article

By Adam Satariano Paul Mozur and Aurelien Breeden

Adam Satariano reported from London, Paul Mozur from Taipei, Taiwan, and Aurelien Breeden from Sigottier, France.

Telegram, founded in 2013 by the Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov, has grown into one of the world’s largest online communication tools and is central to everyday life in countries like Russia, Ukraine and India for messaging, getting independent news and exchanging views.

The company’s growth — it now has more than 900 million users — has been driven partly by a commitment to free speech. Telegram’s light oversight of what people say or do on the platform has helped people living under authoritarian governments communicate and organize. But it has also made the app a haven for disinformation, far-right extremism and other harmful content.

Many were shocked when reports emerged on Saturday across French news media that Mr. Durov had been arrested in France on charges related to the spread of illicit material on the service. A French judicial official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, confirmed on Sunday evening that Mr. Durov was in police custody. As word spread online over the weekend, news of his detention became a flashpoint in a continuing debate about free speech on the internet.

Elon Musk, the owner of X, which has adopted a similarly hands-off approach to content moderation, posted “#FreePavel” on his X account. “It’s 2030 in Europe and you’re being executed for liking a meme,” he also said.

Leonid Volkov, formerly a top adviser to Aleksei A. Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who died in prison in February, wrote on Telegram that although the platform had become a useful tool for criminals, Mr. Durov should be released. “Durov is not an ‘accomplice’ to the crimes committed by Telegram users,” he said.

The reaction over the news of the arrest showed how concerns about free expression, censorship and government oversight of online content are rising at a time when regulatory scrutiny of speech on the internet around the world has ramped up. National governments, especially those in the European Union, have intensified pressure on companies to address disinformation, online extremism, child safety and the spread of illicit material.

World News in Brief: IMO tanker attack alert, UN Women on new Afghan law, counter-terrorism in Viet Nam, Paralympics tech

Facebook Twitter Print Email

The head of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) raised serious concerns on Wednesday about a tanker carrying one million barrels of crude oil that was attacked in the Red Sea.

“The risk of an oil spill, posing an extremely serious environmental hazard, remains high,” said IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez, emphasising that the tanker is carrying some 150,000 tonnes of oil on board.

“There is widespread concern about the damage such a spill would cause within the region,” he added.

‘Unacceptable attack’

Referring to the situation regarding the tanker MV Sounion which was targeted while transiting the southern Red Sea, he said “this is yet another unacceptable attack on international shipping, putting the lives of innocent seafarers at risk.”

Since the war in Gaza erupted in October 2023 following Hamas-led attacks on Israel, the Houthis in Yemen have launched attacks in solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged enclave against ships with ties to Israel.

“Merchant ships trading essential supplies and the seafarers serving on them should be free to navigate worldwide unhindered by geopolitical tensions,” he said, reiterating a call for “an immediate end to the illegal, cowardly and unjustifiable attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea area”.

Mr. Dominguez expressed gratitude to all those involved in the rescue efforts for ensuring the seafarers have now all been safely evacuated, noting that IMO is in communication with national, regional and UN entities as well as other stakeholders regarding the ongoing incident and will monitor the situation closely.

UN Women deeply concerned by new Afghanistan morality law

UN Women issued a statement on Wednesday expressing deep concern over a new morality law by the Taliban targeting women, which imposes extensive restrictions on personal behaviour, “effectively erasing women from public life”.   The law on the “promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice” significantly deepens the already severe curtailment of the rights of Afghan women and girls, including requirements for women to cover their entire bodies and faces, and it forbids women’s voices in public, the gender equality agency said.

Women are also prohibited from interacting with non-Muslims, using public transport alone and looking at men to whom they are not related by blood or marriage.

Over 70 laws erode women’s rights

Over the past three years since regaining power, the Taliban have subjected Afghan women and girls to over 70 edicts, directives and decrees, stripping them of fundamental rights.

According to a new UN Women survey, only one per cent of women surveyed feel like they have influence over decision making in their communities, 64 per cent said they do not feel safe leaving their homes by themselves, compared to two per cent of men, and eight per cent indicated knowing at least one woman or girl who has attempted suicide since August 2021.

“UN Women stands in unwavering solidarity with every Afghan woman and girl subjected to these measures and we will continue to work with our partners to support the full realisation of their rights,” the statement concluded.

Viet Nam in spotlight over alleged misuse of counter-terrorism law

To Viet Nam, where the authorities’ alleged misuse of counter-terrorism laws has prompted alarm from top independent rights experts.

In an alert over the treatment of the Montagnard Indigenous group and Christian religious minorities in the southeast Asian nation, the rights experts highlighted the mass trial by a mobile court that convicted 100 people on charges linked to terrorism.

The hearing was in response to attacks on two police stations in Dak Lak province in June last year, which led to nine deaths.

The independent rights experts, who include Ben Saul, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism , maintained that the authorities had incited civilian vigilantes from a majority ethnic group to “hunt down” suspects believed to be from the Montagnard community.

Torture, forced confessions

“Some detainees were subjected to torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in detention, including forced confessions. One detainee, also died in custody…after being tortured,” said the experts, who report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva and are not UN staff.

They explained that the 100 convicted defendants were “mainly charged with vague and over-broad terrorism offences” during the mass trial. They maintained that the mobile court “lacked a clear legal basis and was not independent of political influence”.

As Paralympics begin, WHO’s Tedros urges support for crucial assistive technology

As the 2024 Paralympic Games get underway in Paris, the head of the UN World Health Organization ( WHO ) has urged greater access to the so-called “assistive technology” aides that many people with disabilities rely on.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the devices, which include running blades, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs, were hugely important for today’s Paralympians, “but around the world, many people still do not have access to crucial assistive technology due to its high cost and low availability”.

Integration with primary care

Tedros called on governments, donors and civil society “to prioritise these neglected but critical products by integrating them in primary care programmes” in the name of universal health coverage, which is a key Sustainable Development Goal.

WHO estimates that more than 2.5 billion people do not have access to assistive technology today. Only five to 35 per cent of the 80 million people who need a wheelchair actually have access to one, depending on where they live, and only one in 10 people who need hearing aids have them.

• Speech on Technology

Technology in This Generation

We are in a generation, where technology has surrounded us from all sides. Our everyday life runs on the use of technology, be it in the form of an alarm clock or a table lamp. Technology has been an important part of our daily lives. Therefore, it is important for the students to be familiar with the term technology. Therefore, we have provided a long speech on technology for students of all age groups. There is also a short speech and a 10 lines speech given in this article.

Long Speech on Technology

A warm welcome to everyone gathered here today. I am here to deliver a speech on technology which has taken a tremendous role in our day to day life. We all are in a generation where everything is dependent on technology. Let’s understand what technology is through the lens of Science. 

Technology comes in the form of tangible and intangible properties by exerting physical and mental force to achieve something that adds value. For example, a mobile phone is tangible, and the network connection used by the phone is intangible. Technology has taken its place as indispensable, wherein it has resulted in economic benefits, better health care, time-saving, and better lifestyle.

Due to technology, we have a significant amount of knowledge to improve our lives and solve problems. We can get our work done efficiently and effectively. As long as you know how to access technology, it can be used and proves to benefit people of all ages greatly. Technology is constantly being modified and upgraded every passing year. 

The evolution of technology has made it possible to achieve lots in less time. Technology has given tools and machines to be used to solve problems around the world. There has been a complete transformation in the way we do things because of contributions from scientific technology. We can achieve more tasks while saving our time and hence in a better place than our previous generation. 

Right from the ringing of the morning alarm to switching off the fan, everything runs behind the technology. Even the microphone that I am using is an innovation of technology and thus the list continues. With several inventions of hi-tech products, our daily needs are available on a screen at our fingertips. These innovations and technologies have made our lives a lot easier. Everything can be done at the comfort of your home within a couple of hours or so. These technologies have not only helped us in the digital platform but have also given us innovations in the field of medical, educational, industrial as well as in agricultural sectors. If we go back to the older generations, it would take days to get any things solved, even if there were not many treatments for several diseases. 

But today with the innovations of technology, many diseases can be treated and diagnosed within a shorter period of time. The relationship between humans and technology has continued for ages and has given rise to many innovations. It has made it easier for us to handle our daily chores starting from home, office, schools and kitchen needs. It has made available basic necessities and safer living spaces. We can sit at home comfortably and make transactions through the use of online banking. Online shopping, video calling, and attending video lectures on the phone have all been possible due to the invention of the internet. 

People in the past would write letters to communicate with one another, and today due to technology, traditional letters have been replaced by emails and mobile phones. These features are the essential gifts of technology. Everything is just at our fingertips, right from turning on the lights to doing our laundry. The whole world runs on technology and hence, we are solely dependent on it. But everything has its pros and cons. While the benefits of technology are immense, it also comes with some negative effects and possibly irreversible damages to humanity and our planet. 

We have become so dependent on technology that we often avoid doing things on our own. It as a result makes us lazy and physically inactive. This has also led to several health issues such as obesity and heart diseases. We prefer booking a cab online rather than walking a few kilometres. Technology has increased screen time, and thus, children are no longer used to playing in the playgrounds but are rather found spending hours on their phones playing video games. This has eroded children’s creativity, intelligence, and memory. No doubt, technology is a very essential part of our life, but we should not be totally dependent on it. We should practise being more fit and do regular activities on our own to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The other aspects that have been badly affected us are that since technology replaced human interference, is unemployment. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc., were meant to connect people and increase our community circle. Still, it has made people all the more lonely, with cases of depression on the rise amongst the youth. 

There are several controversies around the way world leaders have used technology in defence and industrialisation under the banner of development and advancements. The side effects of technology have resulted in pollution, climate change, forest fires, extreme storms, cyclones, impure air, global warming, land area getting reduced and natural resources getting extinct. It’s time we change our outlook towards selfish technology and bring about responsible technology. Every nation needs to set aside budgets to come up with sustainable technological developments. 

As students, we should develop creative problem solving using critical thinking to bring clean technology into our world. As we improve our nation, we must think of our future for a greener and cleaner tomorrow. You would be glad to know that several initiatives have been initiated to bring awareness amongst children and youth to invent cleaner technology. 

For example, 15-year-old Vinisha Umashankar invented a solar ironing cart and has been awarded the Earth Shot Prize by the Royal Foundation of the duke and duchess of Cambridge and honoured to speak at the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland. Her invention should be an inspiration to each one of us to pursue clean technology.

The top five technologically advanced countries are Japan, America, Germany, China and South Korea. We Indians will make our mark on this list someday. Technology has a vital role in our lives but lets us be mindful that we control technology and that technology doesn’t control us. Technology is a tool to elevate humanity and is not meant to be a self-destroying mechanism under the pretext of economic development. Lastly, I would like to conclude my speech by saying that technology is a boon for our society but we should use it in a productive way. 

A Short Speech on Technology

A warm greeting to everyone present here. Today I am here to talk about technology and how it has gifted us with various innovations. Technology as we know it is the application of scientific ideas to develop a machine or a device for serving the needs of humans. We, human beings, are completely dependent on technology in our daily life. We have used technology in every aspect of our life starting from household needs, schools, offices, communication and entertainment. Our life has been more comfortable due to the use of technology. We are in a much better and comfortable position as compared to our older generation. This is possible because of various contributions and innovations made in the field of technology. Everything has been made easily accessible for us at our fingertips right from buying a thing online to making any banking transaction. It has also led to the invention of the internet which gave us access to search for any information on google. But there are also some disadvantages. Relying too much on technology has made us physically lazy and unhealthy due to the lack of any physical activity. Children have become more prone to video games and social media which have led to obesity and depression. Since they are no longer used to playing outside and socialising, they often feel isolated. Therefore, we must not totally be dependent on technology and should try using it in a productive way.

10 Lines Speech on Technology

Technology has taken an important place in our lives and is considered an asset for our daily needs.

The world around us is totally dependent on technology, thus, making our lives easier.

The innovation of phones, televisions and laptops has digitally served the purpose of entertainment today.

Technology has not only helped us digitally but has also led to various innovations in the field of medical science.

Earlier it took years to diagnose and treat any particular disease, but today with the help of technology it has led to the early diagnosis of several diseases.

We, in this generation, like to do things sitting at our own comfort within a short period of time. This thing has been made possible by technology.

All our daily activities such as banking, shopping, entertainment, learning and communication can be done on a digital platform just by a click on our phone screen.

Although all these gifts of technology are really making our lives faster and easier, it too has got several disadvantages.

Since we all are highly dependent on technology, it has reduced our daily physical activity. We no longer put effort to do anything on our own as everything is available at a minute's click.

Children nowadays are more addicted to online video games rather than playing outside in the playground. These habits make them more physically inactive.

FAQs on Speech on Technology

1. Which kind of technology is the most widely used nowadays?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of technology that is being used the most nowadays and is expected to grow even more even in the future. With AI being adopted in numerous sectors and industries and continuously more research being done on it, it will not be long before we see more forms of AI in our daily lives.

2. What is the biggest area of concern with using technology nowadays?

Protection of the data you have online is the biggest area of concern. With hacking and cyberattacks being so common, it is important for everyone to ensure they do not post sensitive data online and be cautious when sharing information with others.

Sample Speeches on Technology

A few samples of speeches on technology are given below. Go through them and utilise the resource for your better understanding of the topic.

Just like a coin, technology also has two sides, one is its benefits, and the other is its disadvantages.

There are multiple ways by which technology is favouring the lives of human beings. In the modern world, people are making maximum use of it. Technology became a great boon for us when it marked its advancement in the field of medical science. Through continuous evolution and updation, technology has reached a level that enables us to treat and cure many health disorders, including cancer and other chronic disorders. It has helped to save the lives of many humans, and truly it can be called a ‘life saver’.

The coming of the internet, mobile phones, and computers have eased the process of communication. With the support of all these advanced technologies, communication has become a simpler, faster, and more effective process. Can you imagine spending days waiting for a reply from your beloved ones? How strange will that be, right?

Another main advantage brought by technology is increased productivity. The overall production rate has increased drastically. With the assistance of huge machines and other technologies, the quantity of products has marked a rise without compromising on the quality. Technologies are evolving every single day; new discoveries are made frequently with the help of existing technologies and types of machinery. In one way or another, we can say that technologies aid new discoveries.

Technologies are making our lives easier. Imagine a situation where there is no internet and the world wide web. How will you receive information from all around the world? How long will it take to provide you with the exact information that you need? Will that be an updated one once it reaches you? Technologies are helping us to lead a secure life. Progressive changes that have happened in banking and money management are exceptional as well. Innovations like webcams and surveillance cameras have aided visual communication and security.

The benefits of technology is a very vast topic. Every single aspect of human life has the influence of technology in it. So pointing out each and every benefit of technology is impossible. Even though technology has many advantages, keep in mind that nothing can replace human intelligence. Always try to manage the use of technology, do not let it manage your lives.

We proudly proclaim that humans are the masters of technology; by doing that, we are actually trying to cover the ultimate truth behind it. We are completely dependent on technology. Even if the term advancement is often linked with technology, there exists multiple disadvantages too. With the encroachment of technology, people have lost their social life. It’s the supremacy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) over natural intelligence that is happening in the world right now. Humans are no longer social beings; they are just living beings with digital control.

Technological updates are happening in all sectors, and each and every new technological advancement offers us advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take a look at the disadvantages brought by digital technologies. Personal technologies like smartphones and laptops are isolating people from the larger physical community around them. More than getting engaged in public activities, what excites people more is their time on their personal gadgets.

Real lives and emotions are given very less value in the modern world. Even though technology is helping humans to save enough time, people are busy in their virtual realities. The world of social media is highly influencing the lives of people irrespective of age. People are getting dragged into that cyberspace. Let’s remember the words of Allison Burnett, “Only on Internet Technology can a person be lonely and popular at the same time.” How accurate these words are, right?

We always connect technology with something that is newly happening, right? But is that so? Technology is not a 21st century term. Technology is as old as civilisation. Every little change, even the use of primitive tools that were used for hunting in ancient times, can be connected with technology. Over the course of time, technology has undergone multiple changes, and such evolutions are clearly visible in all sectors of society. Do you know what the most precious thing on earth is? Is it the yacht History Supreme? Is it Antilla? Or is it ‘The Card Players’, a famous painting by French artist Paul Cezzane?

All these things may cost a lot, but not as much as time. Time is the most precious thing on earth, nothing can replace it, and it has to be valued. The assistance of modern technology has enabled us to save it. After the introduction of technologies, things that took hours and days for completion are now getting completed in seconds and minutes. Simultaneously, it is saving our money and bettering our lives, but never forget the words, “Too much of anything is good for nothing.”

Why is technology important?

There are multiple ways by which technology is favouring the lives of human beings. Technology became a great boon for us when it marked its advancement in the field of medical science. By continuous evolution and updation, technology has reached a level that enables us to treat and cure many health disorders, including cancer and other chronic disorders. It has helped to save the lives of many humans, and truly it can be called a ‘life saver’.

What are the top quotes to use in a speech on technology?

• “Technology is best when it brings people together.” – Matt Mullenweg.
• “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” – Albert Einstein.
• “It is only when they go wrong that machines remind you how powerful they are.” – Clive James.

How does technology affect our lives?

Even if the term advancement is linked with technology, there are multiple disadvantages. With the encroachment of technology, people have lost their social life. It’s the supremacy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) over natural intelligence that is happening in the world right now. Humans are no longer social beings; they are just living beings with digital control.

Easy Speech on The Impact of Technology on Society

‘Hello and welcome to everyone present here. Today, I stand before you to present my speech on the impact of technology on society. Technological inventions like the steam engine, electricity, batteries, the internet, computers, etc. have changed the entire evolution cycle. When we talk about the social impacts of technology, there are two sides; positive and negative.

On one side, technology has improved our communication and connectivity, education and knowledge sharing, workplace productivity, social activism, etc. With tech, we can make global connections, regardless of any geographical barriers. A new concept of telemedicine has evolved, where people living in remote areas can connect with medical professionals and consult on healthcare issues. We can learn about geopolitical developments, international summits, etc.

On the other hand, there are negative impacts of technology on society. The most common ones are privacy concerns and cyberbullying. Widespread use of technology often involves the collection and storage of personal information. This is a big privacy concern for everyone, as our data in someone else’s hand makes us vulnerable to data breaches, surveillance, and unauthorized access to our details.

If you're interested in a career intersected between social innovation and responsible tech transformations then check out @AllTechIsHuman 's Responsible Tech Job Board! https://t.co/ozED8L7LS3 — The Centre for Social Impact Technology (@SocImpTecCTR) January 9, 2024

Another impact is job displacement and inequality. Studies have shown that automation and AI have the potential to certain jobs, leading to unemployment and economic instability for some individuals. Recently, a survey was conducted that showed that the most vulnerable jobs to AI were data entry, basic customer service roles, and bookkeeping.

 A lot of people have fallen prey to cyberbullying. Talking to anonymous people over the internet can raise the flag of cyberbullying and online harassment. Young girls and students often fall victim to online harassment, which leads to emotional distress and mental well-being.

The list of negative impacts of technology on society doesn’t end here. Other drawbacks include dependence and addiction to technology, loss of traditional skills, information overload, social isolation, etc. 

While using technology, we need to be aware of what information we are gaining and what is its source. Relying bluntly on technology can put us in the corner, as it will affect our cognitive skills. We should use technology but in a sustained way and it should not turn into an addiction.

Thank you.’

Long and Short Speeches on Technology

Speech on technology – 1.

Honourable Principal, Vice principal, Teachers and all my Fellow Classmates!

I stand here today to deliver a succinct speech on technology and how it has greatly affected our lives. In today’s world of rising competition, technology plays a very crucial role in making our lives easy and comfortable. There is no doubt that it is the most significant component of our survival in today’s era.

Presently, each and every day, a novel application or software is being introduced in the economy that serves to enhance and uplift the lifestyle of the people in innumerable ways; hence making our lives better and full of smart components.

We use technology every day and everywhere in order to fulfil particular duties or our specific interests. The technology helps us in numerous ways from morning till evening. People from all the age groups benefit from technology until and unless they know how to access the same. But one must never forget that anything that comes to us has its own share of pros and cons.

There are multifarious benefits of technology. Technology has made communication much easier than ever before by the introduction of advanced and modified innovations of phones and applications. Not only in the professional world, but also in the household sphere, technology has contributed a lot. Most of the technology that we have around us is automatic as compared to the ones our parents had in their days. In the entertainment sector, we have more techniques to provide the audience with a real time experience. There are more games, better musical instruments, better visual systems like smart TV’s. Great success has been achieved in social networking by connecting millions of people at one go with the help of codes. The advanced technology in clinics and hospitals has reduced the errors made by surgeons; hence evolving the patient’s treatment.

Despite all these advantages there are some disadvantages as well, which have negatively affected the importance of technology. The biggest problem that has been witnessed is unemployment. Due to the over practice and much involvement of technology, the machinery has replaced human labour leading to unemployment in so many sectors. Certain physiological research teams have also proved that due to the presence of social applications like Whatsapp , Facebook and Twitter , etc the actual social isolation has increased leading to depression and increased loneliness cases amongst the youngsters. The increased dependency of humans on technology has even deteriorated the intelligence and creativity of children.

Our nation is a developing nation in the context of technology and science. So, we must know how to make wise utilisation of technology without creating hindrance in the growth of an individual, mentally as well as physically. At last, I would only say that it depends on us how much we choose to be dependent on technology because there is nothing in the world which comes easy; it’s our conscience which decides what we learn from the things that are provided to us.

Speech on Technology – 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and Dear Fellow Students!

I am Namrata from Class 10, Section –A and your host for today’s event. I warmly welcome you all for assembling here. Before we begin the programme, I would like to speak on an extremely significant topic, i.e. “Technology”, as it has become a major part of our lives.

Advancement in Science and Technology in many spheres has without any doubt made our lives better than the earlier times. We cannot refute the fact that the life of each one of us is highly dependent on the scientific inventions and modern day technology.

It has bought an end to the wooden toys era and replaced the same with automatic cars. Its effect has been well observed in spheres like medicines, education, infrastructure, electricity, aviation, information, computer, metallurgy, physics, nuclear energy, space technology, defence research, biotechnology, household, sports, job, tourism, agriculture and numerous other fields as well.

Introduction of such technological strides, ideas and inventions to all these fields has brought a gigantic level of positive change in the current generation and thus, has provided them a variety of new and innovative opportunities. In India, technology has become the main source of the foundational and creative developments. It has improved and brought some huge developments in the Indian Economic status worldwide and has also created many new programmes for our new generation to grow in this technical world.

The maximum advantages have been seen in the educational sector. The more technological modifications, the better benefits it provides for students at several educational levels. For instance, since many students find the normal lectures boring and monotonous, the idea of smart classes makes them more engrossed in the same lectures that they earlier found boring.

There are also some people who are of the opinion that technology spoils a person by making him stoic and reducing his physical activities; thus increasing the chances of various health problems. This section of people supports the fact that the technological-based society offers a kind of silver spoon to people so much so that in the end they are unable to solve their problem on their own. This kind of dependency puts people in a horrifying condition where they are not at all self-reliant.

Other set of people who debate on this argument, believe that technology continues to be a very significant part of our society. They support the fact that it’s an indispensable part of our lives in the present scenario and will only help people for their betterment. It is immensely useful in providing the much needed knowledge to the students. All the great changes in varied arenas discussed above, have taken place due to the game changing contribution of technology. Further, this is a technical and cultural revolution.

But one thing we must not forget is that all the innovations are made to help us, not to make us the victim of the technological world. Now that we have a quick and easy access to the vast reservoir of knowledge through internet, we should make good use of it in order to solve the problems that we have around the world.

So students let us all take a pledge today to only make a fair use of technology for the realization of our goals and not making ourselves slaves of technology.

Speech on Technology – 3

Good Evening Friends! I warmly welcome everyone to the speech ceremony of today.

I, Kartik Kaushik, am your host for today evening and would like to address the topic called technology. I am sure that we all can relate with technology without which we cannot imagine our lives. No matter wherever we go and whatever we do, technology has a sweeping influence over our lives. From the on and off of electric buttons to working in the kitchen with the appliances to going out in a car or any other vehicle – everything is governed by technology. Technology has gifted us so many things in life and thus we can safely say that it’s a boon for the mankind.

Technology plays a very significant role in satisfying our day to day needs. You just look around yourself and you will find everything from a small pen to a big airplane is borne out of technology. From sunrise until sunset, technology is what controls our lives. In fact, technological advancements have made our lives easier and we can perform tasks with a lot of ease and mush faster than ever before and hence can save our time.

It is not possible to do away with technology from our daily lives. Consider if the invention of airplane had not happened, then traveling from one place to the other or from one nation to the other would take considerably a long time. Take for instance, the field of medical science; the lives of many people have been saved due to technological advancements. In the absence of technology, our lives would have become powerless and regressive, so technology has improved our ways of living life.

However, some people believe that technology also brings disasters and its greatest example is war. War creates great bloodshed and takes away the lives of so many people using missiles and bombs. But the matter of fact is that when something goes wrong, we should not blame technology. For instance, when someone has used a knife to murder someone, we cannot put blame on the knife, but on the murderer who used that knife in order to kill someone. The other example can be based on the increasing rape cases. When teenagers sexually molest a girl, they do so after having watched a video on phone or a computer. It is not the fault of a cell phone or the internet, but it’s about the lack of moral principles in us and absence of strict regulation in our society which keeps a check on the downloading and uploading of such videos.

So when people don’t make wise use of technology, problem occurs and fault doesn’t lie with technology, but people who fail to observe morality. Solutions are required to fix these problems and there should be a proper surveillance system by the state and the government where wrong doers must be punished. Other than this, the concerned authority should keep a close watch on the unauthorized streaming of videos, which adversely impact our youth and leave a bad influence on them. Technology is a boon if used wisely and to the best interest of mankind.

This is all I have to say. Thank You!

Speech on Technology – 4

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Fellow Students – Warm Greetings to one and all!

First let me introduce myself. I, Anand Ahuja from Class-VI (B), would like to take this opportunity and deliver a speech on technology. Technology has completely transformed our lives in every way – the way we manage our day to day lives at home, office, school or anywhere, while we are traveling, talking to somebody over phone, etc. With the advent of technology, our lives have been gifted with a lot many things so much so that technology dominates our lives every second.

Robots are our most advanced form of technology now the only thing that is left is to get inside the human body and target emotions and human blood. To an extent, technology has even conquered that space as well. In corporate, the use of cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, predictive analytics, machine learning and business intelligence devices, etc., are helping find new avenues to manage, operate and conduct business.

The increase in cloud storage, cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence are such examples, which very soon will have a node to connect with our body and collect the data based on human activities in real time. Relentless development in technology has changed the lives of human both positively as well as negatively. The new inventions and boom in technology are due to our inherent curiosity, problem-solving skills and not to say the least creativity.

While giving birth to new technological inventions, we must also ensure that it should not only be human-friendly, but environmental friendly too. Technology should be like a flower for life and not a destroyer. Technology is present everywhere and deeply connected with our day to day lives. Technology can be called the king which rules over everything. But if human can cleverly manipulate the king, i.e. technology, through his knowledge and skills, then its bad effects can be controlled.

Technology is also greatly dominating the world of education and its learning methods as well. In the ancient times, it was not possible to get data, knowledge and information within fractions of seconds through internet. In fact, online schools have also emerged along with various online degree courses that help save people’s time from traveling to distant places. Now, people can gather information while sitting at one place through e-libraries and materials streaming online. It is indeed a positive move.

In fact, with the creation of machines and robots, the possibilities are such that they may even start giving training to people. Today, there are mobiles, computers, internet connection, video conferencing devices, social media and mobile applications in order to communicate with others from across the globe. It was not possible earlier. The advantage of change in communication is that it is easy, fast and quick way to communicate.

In the past where a letter used to take many days to reach a destination, like money order, personal letter or a greeting card, now they can be send within a few minutes time. Money can be transferred online through your mobile phone and greeting card can be mailed. This is what is called technology and its advantages cannot be simply summed up on finger tips.

So we should consider ourselves privileged that we are born during this time when technological advancements are flourishing and we are getting to enjoy the benefits and as far as its disadvantages are concerned it entirely depends on the human agency how the fruits of its benefits can be reaped and its use can be curtailed so that it doesn’t prove disastrous for the mankind.

Speech on technology 3 Models

A speech on technology, which has found in all life styles in the modern day in which we live. So we are going to present  a 500 word speech on technology.

Below you will find 150 word speech on recent technological advances and what technology represents for current generations.

We will present lines on technology, paragraph sentences, and essay for the seventh grade. As for the presentation for the secondary and university levels, it will be presented below.

speech on technology

Because the whole world talking about technology, it was necessary to give a speech on technology to students of all grades. This is to let them know the importance of technology in our lives and how this tremendous progress that spread very quickly and conquered the whole world began.

The student must know what are the advantages of technology and what are its disadvantages, so that he can take the advantages and avoid defects in a way that protects him from harm. In a speech on technology I will talk about:

What is meant by technology?

It is the development in all areas of our lives, as humans have transferred technology from one life to another.

After simplicity and living on the banks of fresh rivers, in order for man to grow what he could eat, and after he used animals to move around, humans evolved and ascended to space.

The word civilization was used to refer to these great changes and this remarkable development, because it is a Greek word that denotes both knowledge and skill. Scientists have knowledge and skill and this is what enabled them to develop in such a rapid manner. In a speech on technology I will talk about:

What is the difference between science and technology?

Science helps humanity progress and reach new things that were not known before, but science is concerned with progress in one type of science field. Where there are several fields, and each field has its own specialists.

As for technology, it is not linked to a specific field, but it works to develop all areas of life. The main goal of technology is to move people forward and make them live a luxurious life without suffering. In a speech on technology I will talk about:

What is the technology used for?

Technology intervenes in all areas of life, so we find it in the engineering and architectural fields. It is also found in the medical field with its various specialties. We will not forget the presence of technology in the areas of national security and the protection of property and bodies from theft and hacking.

Recently, technology has remarkably invaded the field of education, as distance learning has spread, which has provided learners with many difficulties.

In the end, technology did not leave a field without entering it, even the arts use modern technology to reach the viewer in the best way.

Technology Features

In a speech on technology I will talk about: The most important feature of technology is that it saves time, so people can do many things in a small period of time. Before all this technological development, the world was moving slowly, and people were finding it difficult to do one of their things.

For example, sending messages from one country to another used to take several weeks. Today, a message is sent in one moment over the Internet.

As for education, where the student used to travel to search for information, but now it arrives in front of him with a click of a button.

In a speech on technology I will talk about: Technology defects

Technology, like anything in life, has flaws that can be serious and others that can be easy to deal with. One of the most important of these defects is that it steals time, as a person is fascinated by all the entertainment and games that are presented to him, and he forgets work and education.

This is one of the reasons for the decline and backwardness of societies, because its members use technology incorrectly, devoting their time only to playing.

One of the disadvantages of technology is that a person becomes addicted to loneliness and isolation from society.

And that people’s privacy is violated, so everyone knows each other’s secrets.

The impact of technology on modern generations

Technology has changed the nature of human beings, especially the modern generations. Baby has reached out to use modern phones and leave old hand toys. In a speech on technology I will talk about:

Children have changed from previous generations, preventing themselves from going out and living in a virtual world isolated from the world. Children have disappeared from the streets and clubs. And the child became fatter and more lazy, because he did not get up from the place where he sat all day long to play electronic games.

future technology

In the future, technology will not stop at a certain point, but it will develop in an amazing way and no one will believe it. In a speech on technology I will talk about:

Ten years ago, we would not have believed the developments the world has reached today. But today in relation to tomorrow is past and old, and this warns us that the future is stranger than the present.

But if technology develops again, people will change incredibly. But will they change for the better, or will their condition worsen, and they gain weight, which makes them sick and makes them more isolated and depressed?

At the end of our topic for today, a speech on technology, in which we talked about the rapid technological development that occurs every minute , and we knew that technology is concerned with saving time and making life easier for people. 

But despite everything, technology has advantages and disadvantages. As technology serves a large segment of people who need this great development. But there is also a segment of society for whom technology has caused severe damage that may lead to suicide due to depression and addiction to bad things. I hope you have benefited from a speech on technology

4 Minute Speech on Technology In English

A very good morning to one and all present here. Today, I will be giving a short speech on the topic of ‘Technology’.

Technology is gaining more and more importance in our daily lives all over the world. This is no different in India. 

Our smartphones, for example, stand testimony to this fact. Why, the various upgraded models we are seeing every now and then these days are a far cry from the Nokia phones we once had! This upgradation can also be seen in other electronic devices such as TV, refrigerator, and A/C.

Now, post Covid-19 again, technology has become an intricate part of our lives. Life without our mobile phones, laptops, and earphones seems impossible. 

However, it is also indeed safe to say that we are beyond addicted to the easy life technology has provided for us. Humans have, in fact, become slaves to it.

Life without technology seems impossible nowadays. Forget smartphones, can you imagine a life without TVs, ACs, refrigerators, washing machines, laptops, or earphones? And that’s just a few examples!

There is no doubt that technology has indeed made our lives simple. But, it is also true that our dependence on it is increasing alarmingly day by day. 

Physical activities have come to a standstill. Technology has made us lead a sedentary lifestyle, which in turn leads to various life-threatening diseases such as heart attacks. Prolonged usage of electronic gadgets also leads to nerve disorders and eye problems.

Let’s reduce our use of technology and stay healthy!

Thank you.

Voice technology for the rest of the world

Project aims to build a dataset with 1,000 words in 1,000 different languages to bring voice technology to hundreds of millions of speakers around the world.

Voice-enabled technologies like Siri have gone from a novelty to a routine way to interact with technology in the past decade. In the coming years, our devices will only get chattier as the market for voice-enabled apps, technologies and services continues to expand. 

But the growth of voice-enabled technology is not universal.  For much of the world, technology remains frustratingly silent. 

“Speech is a natural way for people to interact with devices, but we haven’t realized the full potential of that yet because so much of the world is shut out from these technologies,” said Mark Mazumder, a Ph.D. student at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.  

The challenge is data. Voice assistants like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa need thousands to millions of unique examples to recognize individual keywords like “light” or “off”. Building those enormous datasets is incredibly expensive and time-consuming, prohibiting all but the biggest companies from developing voice recognition interfaces. 

Even companies like Apple and Google only train their models on a handful of languages, shutting out hundreds of millions of people from interacting with their devices via voice. Want to build a voice-enabled app for the nearly 50 million Hausa speakers across West Africa? Forget it. Neither Siri, Alexa nor Google Home currently support a single African language.

But Mazumder and a team of SEAS researchers, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Michigan, Intel, NVIDIA, Landing AI, Google, MLCommons and Coqui, are building a solution to bring voice technology to the rest of the world. 

At the Neural Information Processing Systems conference last week, the team presented a diverse, multilingual speech dataset that spans languages spoken by over 5 billion people. Dubbed the Multilingual Spoken Words Corpus , the dataset has more than 340,000 keywords in 50 languages with upwards of 23.4 million audio examples so far. 

“We have built a dataset automation pipeline that can automatically identify and extract keywords and synthesize them into a dataset,” said Vijay Janapa Reddi , Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at SEAS and senior author of the study.  “The Multilingual Spoken Words Corpus advances the research and development of voice-enabled applications for a broad global audience."

Voice interfaces can make technology more accessible for users with visual or physical impairments, or for lower literacy users. We hope free datasets like ours will help assistive technology developers to meet these needs.

Speech technology can empower billions of people across the planet, but there’s a real need for large, open, and diverse datasets to catalyze innovation.

This is just the beginning. Our goal is to build a dataset with 1,000 words in 1,000 different languages.

“Speech technology can empower billions of people across the planet, but there’s a real need for large, open, and diverse datasets to catalyze innovation,” said David Kanter, MLCommons co-founder and executive director and co-author of the study. “The Multilingual Spoken Words Corpus offers a tremendous breadth of languages. I’m excited for these datasets to improve everyday experiences like voice-enabled consumer devices and speech recognition.”

To build the dataset, the team used recordings from Mozilla Common Voice, a massive global project that collects donated voice recordings in a wide variety of spoken languages, including languages with a smaller population of speakers. Through the Common Voice website, volunteer speakers are given a sentence to read aloud in their chosen language. Another group of volunteers listens to the recorded sentences and verifies its accuracy. 

The researchers applied a machine learning algorithm that can recognize and pull keywords from recorded sentences in Common Voice. 

For example, one sentence prompt from Common Voice reads: “He played college football at Texas and Rice.”

First, the algorithm uses a common machine learning  technique called forced alignment — specifically a tool called the Montreal Forced Aligner —  to match the spoken words with text. Then the algorithm filters and extracts words with three or more characters (or two characters in Chinese). From the above sentence, the algorithm would pull “played” “college” “football” “Texas” “and” and “Rice.” To add the word to the dataset, the algorithm needs to find at least five examples of the word, which ensures all words have multiple pronunciation examples.  

The algorithm also optimizes for gender balance and minimal speaker overlap between the samples used for training and evaluating keyword spotting models.  

“Our goal was to create a large corpus of very common words,” said Mazumder, who is the first author of the study. “So, if you want to train a model for smart lights in Tamil, for example, you would probably use our dataset to pull the keywords “light”, “on”, “off” and “dim” and be able to find enough examples to train the model.”

“We want to build the voice equivalent of Google search for text and images,” said Reddi.  “A dataset search engine that can go and find what you want, when you want it on the fly, rather than rely on static datasets that are costly and tedious to create.”

When the researchers compared the accuracy of models trained on their dataset against models trained on a Google dataset that was manually constructed by carefully sourcing individual and specific words, the team found only a small accuracy gap between the two. 

For most of the 50 languages, the Multilingual Spoken Words Corpus is the first available keyword dataset that is free for commercial use. For several languages, such as Mongolian, Sakha, and Hakha Chin, it is the first keyword spotting dataset in the language.

“This is just the beginning,” said Reddi. “Our goal is to build a dataset with 1,000 words in 1,000 different languages.”

“Whether it’s on Common Voice or YouTube, Wikicommons, archive.org, or any other creative commons site, there is so much more data out there that we can scrape to build this dataset and expand the diversity of the languages for voice-based interfaces,” said Mazumder. “Voice interfaces can make technology more accessible for users with visual or physical impairments, or for lower literacy users. We hope free datasets like ours will help assistive technology developers to meet these needs.” 

The corpus is available on MLCommons, a not-for-profit, open engineering consortium dedicated to improving machine learning for everyone. Reddi is Vice President and a board member of MLCommons  .

The paper was co-authored by Sharad Chitlangia, Colby Banbury, Yiping Kang, Juan Manuel Ciro, Keith Achorn, Daniel Galvez, Mark Sabini, Peter Mattson, Greg Diamos, Pete Warden and Josh Meyer. 

The research was sponsored in part by the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and Google.

Speech on Technology

The topic Technology is a very interesting subject to write on, especially when it is to be addressed in relation with the students. The need of technology arises everywhere – whether it’s in an educational institute, household, research centre or any multinational company. Moreover, teachers often ask their students to prepare speech on technology with its positive as well as negative effects on human beings. Here, on our portal we help you out with both short speech on technology as well as long speech on technology so that all learners can draw benefit out of these speeches. The content that we provide is easy to understand and can help students to learn all about technology and its wide-ranging uses.

Long and Short Speech on Technology

Speech on technology – 1.

Honourable Principal, Vice principal, Teachers and all my Fellow Classmates!

I stand here today to deliver a succinct speech on technology and how it has greatly affected our lives. In today’s world of rising competition, technology plays a very crucial role in making our lives easy and comfortable. There is no doubt that it is the most significant component of our survival in today’s era.

Presently, each and every day, a novel application or software is being introduced in the economy that serves to enhance and uplift the lifestyle of the people in innumerable ways; hence making our lives better and full of smart components.

We use technology every day and everywhere in order to fulfil particular duties or our specific interests. The technology helps us in numerous ways from morning till evening. People from all the age groups benefit from technology until and unless they know how to access the same. But one must never forget that anything that comes to us has its own share of pros and cons.

There are multifarious benefits of technology. Technology has made communication much easier than ever before by the introduction of advanced and modified innovations of phones and applications. Not only in the professional world, but also in the household sphere, technology has contributed a lot. Most of the technology that we have around us is automatic as compared to the ones our parents had in their days. In the entertainment sector, we have more techniques to provide the audience with a real time experience. There are more games, better musical instruments, better visual systems like smart TV’s. Great success has been achieved in social networking by connecting millions of people at one go with the help of codes. The advanced technology in clinics and hospitals has reduced the errors made by surgeons; hence evolving the patient’s treatment.

Despite all these advantages there are some disadvantages as well, which have negatively affected the importance of technology. The biggest problem that has been witnessed is unemployment. Due to the over practice and much involvement of technology, the machinery has replaced human labour leading to unemployment in so many sectors. Certain physiological research teams have also proved that due to the presence of social applications like Whatsapp , Facebook and Twitter , etc the actual social isolation has increased leading to depression and increased loneliness cases amongst the youngsters. The increased dependency of humans on technology has even deteriorated the intelligence and creativity of children.

Our nation is a developing nation in the context of technology and science. So, we must know how to make wise utilisation of technology without creating hindrance in the growth of an individual, mentally as well as physically. At last, I would only say that it depends on us how much we choose to be dependent on technology because there is nothing in the world which comes easy; it’s our conscience which decides what we learn from the things that are provided to us.

Speech on Technology – 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and Dear Fellow Students!

I am Namrata from Class 10, Section –A and your host for today’s event. I warmly welcome you all for assembling here. Before we begin the programme, I would like to speak on an extremely significant topic, i.e. “Technology”, as it has become a major part of our lives.

Advancement in Science and Technology in many spheres has without any doubt made our lives better than the earlier times. We cannot refute the fact that the life of each one of us is highly dependent on the scientific inventions and modern day technology.

It has bought an end to the wooden toys era and replaced the same with automatic cars. Its effect has been well observed in spheres like medicines, education, infrastructure, electricity, aviation, information, computer, metallurgy, physics, nuclear energy, space technology, defence research, biotechnology, household, sports, job, tourism, agriculture and numerous other fields as well.

Introduction of such technological strides, ideas and inventions to all these fields has brought a gigantic level of positive change in the current generation and thus, has provided them a variety of new and innovative opportunities. In India, technology has become the main source of the foundational and creative developments. It has improved and brought some huge developments in the Indian Economic status worldwide and has also created many new programmes for our new generation to grow in this technical world.

The maximum advantages have been seen in the educational sector. The more technological modifications, the better benefits it provides for students at several educational levels.  For instance, since many students find the normal lectures boring and monotonous, the idea of smart classes makes them more engrossed in the same lectures that they earlier found boring.

There are also some people who are of the opinion that technology spoils a person by making him stoic and reducing his physical activities; thus increasing the chances of various health problems. This section of people supports the fact that the technological-based society offers a kind of silver spoon to people so much so that in the end they are unable to solve their problem on their own. This kind of dependency puts people in a horrifying condition where they are not at all self-reliant.

Other set of people who debate on this argument, believe that technology continues to be a very significant part of our society. They support the fact that it’s an indispensable part of our lives in the present scenario and will only help people for their betterment. It is immensely useful in providing the much needed knowledge to the students. All the great changes in varied arenas discussed above, have taken place due to the game changing contribution of technology. Further, this is a technical and cultural revolution.

But one thing we must not forget is that all the innovations are made to help us, not to make us the victim of the technological world. Now that we have a quick and easy access to the vast reservoir of knowledge through internet, we should make good use of it in order to solve the problems that we have around the world.

So students let us all take a pledge today to only make a fair use of technology for the realization of our goals and not making ourselves slaves of technology.

Speech on Technology – 3

Good Evening Friends! I warmly welcome everyone to the speech ceremony of today.

I, Kartik Kaushik, am your host for today evening and would like to address the topic called technology. I am sure that we all can relate with technology without which we cannot imagine our lives. No matter wherever we go and whatever we do, technology has a sweeping influence over our lives. From the on and off of electric buttons to working in the kitchen with the appliances to going out in a car or any other vehicle – everything is governed by technology. Technology has gifted us so many things in life and thus we can safely say that it’s a boon for the mankind.

Technology plays a very significant role in satisfying our day to day needs. You just look around yourself and you will find everything from a small pen to a big airplane is borne out of technology. From sunrise until sunset, technology is what controls our lives. In fact, technological advancements have made our lives easier and we can perform tasks with a lot of ease and mush faster than ever before and hence can save our time.

It is not possible to do away with technology from our daily lives. Consider if the invention of airplane had not happened, then traveling from one place to the other or from one nation to the other would take considerably a long time. Take for instance, the field of medical science; the lives of many people have been saved due to technological advancements. In the absence of technology, our lives would have become powerless and regressive, so technology has improved our ways of living life.

However, some people believe that technology also brings disasters and its greatest example is war. War creates great bloodshed and takes away the lives of so many people using missiles and bombs. But the matter of fact is that when something goes wrong, we should not blame technology. For instance, when someone has used a knife to murder someone, we cannot put blame on the knife, but on the murderer who used that knife in order to kill someone. The other example can be based on the increasing rape cases. When teenagers sexually molest a girl, they do so after having watched a video on phone or a computer. It is not the fault of a cell phone or the internet, but it’s about the lack of moral principles in us and absence of strict regulation in our society which keeps a check on the downloading and uploading of such videos.

So when people don’t make wise use of technology, problem occurs and fault doesn’t lie with technology, but people who fail to observe morality. Solutions are required to fix these problems and there should be a proper surveillance system by the state and the government where wrong doers must be punished. Other than this, the concerned authority should keep a close watch on the unauthorized streaming of videos, which adversely impact our youth and leave a bad influence on them. Technology is a boon if used wisely and to the best interest of mankind.

This is all I have to say. Thank You!

Speech on Technology – 4

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Fellow Students – Warm Greetings to one and all!

First let me introduce myself. I, Anand Ahuja from Class-VI (B), would like to take this opportunity and deliver a speech on technology. Technology has completely transformed our lives in every way – the way we manage our day to day lives at home, office, school or anywhere, while we are traveling, talking to somebody over phone, etc. With the advent of technology, our lives have been gifted with a lot many things so much so that technology dominates our lives every second.

Robots are our most advanced form of technology now the only thing that is left is to get inside the human body and target emotions and human blood. To an extent, technology has even conquered that space as well. In corporate, the use of cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, predictive analytics, machine learning and business intelligence devices, etc are helping find new avenues to manage, operate and conduct business.

The increase in cloud storage, cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence are such examples, which very soon will have a node to connect with our body and collect the data based on human activities in real time. Relentless development in technology has changed the lives of human both positively as well as negatively. The new inventions and boom in technology are due to our inherent curiosity, problem-solving skills and not to say the least creativity.

While giving birth to new technological inventions, we must also ensure that it should not only be human-friendly, but environmental friendly too. Technology should be like a flower for life and not a destroyer. Technology is present everywhere and deeply connected with our day to day lives. Technology can be called the king which rules over everything. But if human can cleverly manipulate the king, i.e. technology, through his knowledge and skills, then its bad effects can be controlled.

Technology is also greatly dominating the world of education and its learning methods as well. In the ancient times, it was not possible to get data, knowledge and information within fractions of seconds through internet. In fact, online schools have also emerged along with various online degree courses that help save people’s time from traveling to distant places. Now, people can gather information while sitting at one place through e-libraries and materials streaming online. It is indeed a positive move.

In fact, with the creation of machines and robots, the possibilities are such that they may even start giving training to people. Today, there are mobiles, computers, internet connection, video conferencing devices, social media and mobile applications in order to communicate with others from across the globe. It was not possible earlier. The advantage of change in communication is that it is easy, fast and quick way to communicate.

In the past where a letter used to take many days to reach a destination, like money order, personal letter or a greeting card, now they can be send within a few minutes time. Money can be transferred online through your mobile phone and greeting card can be mailed. This is what is called technology and its advantages cannot be simply summed up on finger tips.

So we should consider ourselves privileged that we are born during this time when technological advancements are flourishing and we are getting to enjoy the benefits and as far as its disadvantages are concerned it entirely depends on the human agency how the fruits of its benefits can be reaped and its use can be curtailed so that it doesn’t prove disastrous for the mankind.
