With the touch of information technology, we have got the world at our fingertips. Many of us are familiar with the word Bishvagram.

Satellite television
The information and communication technology revolution started in our country mainly centered around satellite television. Thanks to satellite television, we have a touch of urban life even in the middle of the village. The people of the village have managed to come out of their illiteracy, prejudice and bigotry. The sophisticated way of life, advanced thinking, taste, etc. are gradually taking place there. The outlook of the village people has also expanded a lot. Cultural equality has developed among people. These satellite channels are playing a role in creating world brotherhood. We are getting used to the dynamic lifestyle by watching dramas and movies broadcast on satellite channels. As a result, people are becoming productive. It has also changed our eating habits. As earlier we were very limited in the Bengali practice of fish and rice, now tea, breakfast, and other things have also been added to the food list. Lifestyle and food habits seen in dramas, movies, and serials broadcasted on channels have influenced our culture. As a result, the culture has an impact. As a result, cultural exchange has improved more than ever before. Apart from this, various awareness advertisements/educational programs in the channels such as Meena cartoons, maternity leave, and smoking cessation have also improved our sense of life.

Satellite channels are not only playing a positive role; It also has many negative aspects. We have lost a lot of our values under the influence of satellite channels. We are increasingly believing in individual freedom. As a result, social ties are loosening. It also has some health risks. Too much TV viewing puts children's physical and mental development at risk.
Currently, our entire life is revolving around mobile. The mobile phone has brought a radical change in the communication system. Mobile is now another name for our peace of mind. Currently, almost all public and private services are being developed around mobile. The government and various ministries of the government are now providing all their citizen service information on mobile. Besides BKash, MobiCash, MoneyTransfer, university admission exam fee deposit, and exam results we are doing it through mobile.
But mobile communication is not only acting as a positive; It also has many negative aspects. People are getting involved in various criminal activities using mobile technology. Kidnapping, extortion of ransom, fraud of individuals, anti-social acts, and acts of terrorism are being done using mobiles these days. Besides, the young generation often uses mobile for unnecessary and long conversations. As a result, it is hindering their acquisition of knowledge and practice of a healthy mentality. Besides, children are also more and more addicted to mobile phones these days. Now mobile phones have taken the place of children's toys. It poses a major problem in the socialization of children.
Internet:
The world's repository of information
Nowadays the internet is playing the role of a guide. What is not here! It is a huge repository of information on all subjects including education, entertainment, and sports. Now we don't have to depend on individuals for any information anymore, just search on the internet. Even the internet is guiding us to the right place. By using the Global Positioning System (GPS) we can reach any place by knowing the path. But the internet is not only positive but also a negative impact on our life. Many times it seems, we spend more time in the virtual world than in the real world. The virtual world is actually like an aerial world. This is what we don't understand now most of the time. People especially girls are harassed a lot by using internet porn sites. In most cases, girls are victims of this harassment without realizing it. Besides, many of us spend an unnecessary amount of time browsing the Internet; Which increases our physical and mental risk. We spoke to information and technologist Mustafa Jabbar about the two-way impact of information and communication technology. According to him - Information and communication technology has certainly transformed our lives. And all technologies have both positive and negative sides. In this case, we need to increase caution and security. As a measure of security, he said, the Ministry of Information and Technology the government has already drafted the Digital Security Act. Hopefully, this will help in increasing awareness as well as ensuring safety in our use of technology.
We talked about the effect of this information and communication technology on our mental and physical development. With Tajul Islam. According to him - the use of information and communication technology is definitely positive but we use it as a negative in many cases. Which hinders our physical and mental development. And we also know that diseases are contagious. Likewise, the negative aspects of using technology spread quickly. Sexism, international terrorism, and religious extremism are rapidly spreading as negative effects of technology. He also said that any relationship should be based on reality. But in many cases, technology addiction keeps us away from it. So unknowingly we get involved in many immoral relationships. Besides, more technology addiction also causes physical problems as it reduces talent development, career formation and hard work.
We spoke to Professor Monirul Islam of the Sociology Department of Dhaka University about how the positive and negative use of information and technology is affecting our social life and socialization. According to him, technology is actually neutral. There is nothing wrong with technology. The issue is its misuse. What matters here is which class actually gets the technology. Regarding children, he said, technology helps children's intellectual development but disrupts their mental development. He further said that in many cases it creates loneliness in social life and does not help in proper socialization. Moreover, with the help of the internet, now we can buy our necessary products online from home.
Above all, he drew everyone's attention to the proper use of technology.
