Abstract:The present study was conducted to examine the impact of technology on different aspects of human life during the covid-19 pandemic. Data from 212 people were collected using a survey. Majority of participants were males 59.4%, unmarried 64.2%, within the age group (21-29) 44.8%, post graduate 42.9% and students 40.6%. The results showed that there was a drastic increase in screen time during the pandemic. Further, the participants found technology useful in connecting with people and in maintaining their physical and mental well-being, but their relations were affected due to excessive use of technology. Participants had also found technology useful in continuing work or studies from online mode and in keeping skills up to date. This study has helped us understand how technology is affecting our life, when we ourselves are under the constraints put on by the pandemic like uncertainty, social distancing, lockdowns and living under the confinements of home.
