There are alot of social problems in this world.I believe two major problems are the cause for all other problems.
1. Lack of awareness (illiteracy)
2. Social Responsibility
Let's us consider the problem of Illiteracy. Illiteracy affects all areas of life. People are committing mistakes without knowing it and all mistakes together are leading towards major world issues like climate change, population increase, lack of resources etc.
In major developing countries, the problem of Illiteracy is being eradicated by technology and human help. Technology plays a major part because it attracts people, it makes people listen. According to the researchers, major knowledge that we attain is through advertisement via different means. Even the parents who live on daily wages are working hard to educate their child, to send their child to school. This kind of change is caused because of technology. People are conducting many awareness programs to create awareness among the locals and technology is making it easier. Technology has reached to a stage where it can cause any change in the world in no time. So developing countries are focussing more on solving the issue of Illiteracy with technology as a weapon.
