Civilization is a welcome development in our world today. I am really grateful to live in a civilized world, having heard of how many things were uneasy for people born in those days without civilization. Over the years, civilization has been of great benefit to mankind. It has changed a lot of things in our world for the better. Through civilization, our everyday lives are made easier and better.
For some people who follow my blog, you will remember that I once shared my experience living with my grandmother. Living with her gave me a wider insight into what the olden days looked like. Her regular nighttime stories were filled with her experiences of the olden days. Sincerely, I am grateful that I wasn't born in those days without civilization. Our forefathers really tasted some hard parts of life, although there were still many advantages they enjoyed then. I still prefer this generation regardless of the negative aspects brought to us by the so-called civilization. Imagine how they trekked long distances due to a lack of transportation then. Grandma told me that she spent nine days on the road traveling to Enugu town for business. Those days are obviously without taking her bath. They could sleep anywhere they found shelter once it was night and continue their journey the next day. Of course, there was no such thing as evil as it is today; if not, that type of journey could have put their lives at risk. What about the water supply? They traveled far distances in search of rivers to fetch water and wash their clothes. This is indeed a hard life. Communication barriers were another shortcoming they faced. Connecting with their loved ones in another state will take days before the written letter reaches the receiver, and there are some other limitations they faced until civilization surfaced and life became easier through technological advancement, which is one thing I am grateful for about civilization.
The advent of technology brought about the different machines and gadgets we enjoy today. Take, for instance, the era of COVID 19. As many lives were lost, many were saved with the help of technology through drugs and machines used in the hospital. It may have been worse if we relied only on herbs for the different health complications we see today. Our phones and laptops were brought to us through civilization, and most of us make our living through these gadgets. Indeed, technology has made life worth living, even though it has its bad sides. The evils that happen in our society today have increased drastically due to these same gadgets, while many youths today still nurture amazing skills through technology. The truth is that civilization has brought us lots of advantages, even though I won't overlook its negative side.
Misuse of technology is one sad aspect I do not like about this civilization. Go to the media and see lots of programs that impact youth negatively. They watch all kinds of evil and practice it. Even the indecent dressing we see today is a result of civilization. People are being exposed to a lot on the internet and copying all kinds of lifestyles in the name of civilization. Instead of using technology to equip ourselves and be better, some youths use it to commit crimes instead, putting others in tears. There are other sad parts of this subject, but I will conclude by saying...
Civilization is a great thing we have embraced, and as much as it has its pros and cons, I think the advantages are greater. However, changes can begin in our different homes, guiding the kids on how to live right and do things right to curtail the negative aspects of civilization; after all, they are the future of tomorrow.

When I asked my little girl about the importance of civilization, the first thing she mentioned was the phone case 😃. Really the phone and technology generally has brought a lot of good things to man, many are now able to feed without even leaving the comfort of their homes. You are right also with your point, technology has been misused also.
Imagine a stay at home mum like me earning through my phone and supporting my family.. it's really amazing... despite the misuse of technology
Thank you for reading my dear.
I appreciate your visit
Due to fruits of Civilization, we are indeed spending more better like than our forefathers. It is sad to know about your hardest travelling experience where water supply was in scarcity. In COVID modern medication and modern machines helped us a lot to save many lives.
Yea, civilization came to our rescue. The hardest travelling and water issue was an experience by my grandmother which she told me about and I became grateful that I wasn't born in those days
Lol
Ahaha, I won’t want to see the sege pro max our forefathers suffered in the past lol, it is not cool at all Hehehe, trekking miles away from their house to the farm is a crazy one lol, I won’t try that in this era, civilization has brought about a great change by providing us with things to ease our daily living, lol 9 days on the road is not easy lol, your grandma na trekker pro max lol, you have stated beautiful facts about this so called civilization and the negative effects too is something that can’t be overlooked, we can only imbibe in our kids how we want them to leave a different life without the negative influence of civilization, thanks for this write up mooma
This fox hahaha 😂😂
I wish you were born then...😜🤪
It would feel good on Ur body..lolz
Just kidding
Thanks for coming
I will say it again that Technology is a big blessings to us,
The only problem is that we are greedy and power hungry , we no more care for nature, this can lead to destruction
Your post is very insightful
Yes..we are just out own problem
The change will definitely begin with us
Lol
nice post
Civilization has both positive and negative impacts and we all know it but I feel the civilized world could be more beautiful if we could stop misusing technology for ill and selfish work. Sometimes I feel old times were golden times and our elders had a great time then but at the same time we are getting those facilities which they didn't receive.
Yea...the major set backs of this amazing development is the misuse of tech, if not it would been more great. The oldies lived well though with hard work and limitations on certain things
Thanks for coming through
I thought I was the only one who drew knowledge from old parents, my grandma lived with my family though. I was always fascinated by how things changed and/or differed from their time to the present, in just less than a century. Well, I'm not surprised cos the majority of the inventions came up less than 2-3 centuries ago. Truly, they could trek farther distances then because there were still some form of good in people and security unlike now that some 'goons' might even come visiting 🤣
However, everything has its own pros and cons no matter how good it is..
Lolz
The country was more peaceful then than now... technology indeed has its own negative side on us
Being born in this era of civilisation is a blessing as civilisation is a blessing itself.
The sad part is that the misuses of it has become rampant in our generation now.
Exactly...our generation chooses to misuse it ..lol
Yay! 🤗

I always wondered how our grandparents and great grandparents survived all that stress back in the day especially when technology was practically non existent.
Travelling must have been a great chore.
