The Introduction Truly, honestly speaking, our overdependence on technology is beyond not healthy for us. Well, in fact, some say they too much of something is not worthy for us. Which is, plain truth. Especially when you’re constantly relying on it. Almost like how too much technology isn’t the best for us. Especially since nowadays, we deeply rely on technology. The mere fact that technology plays a big part in tardiness (being lazy), and, lessens the amount of human contact, and job opportunities, we have, is a big part. But, you can’t just forget that …show more content…

Honestly, technology is something we truly needed, and, something we have now. Honestly, technology is helping us all out, but now, we may need to turn it down just a few notches. Everything has its pros and cons anyways. No matter what the situation is, there is always a plus side and a negative side to it. Just like technology. In my opinion, really just because something impacts us in a good way, doesn’t mean we over-depend on it. How technology causes tardiness First, society may have to lessen our dependence on technology since one of the many things technology does to you make you lazy/ procrastinate/ tardy. When someone or something does something for you (multiple times or once), you then soon begin/ start to rely on them for that specific thing for you. Like, if you have a vacuum that moves around by itself if you go somewhere else and it doesn't have a vacuum cleaner like that, then, you might as well get upset. If there is

  • Technology: Helping Us or Hurting Us

    Whether technology is with us or hurting us, we still have to use it and it affects our lives daily. We need it to get a hold of someone. We need it to do our jobs. Most importantly, we need it to keep our lives away from harm. There are many ways to manipulate technology, but technology has more good to it than bad. There are those who use it for good, like investigators so they can figure out the real story. Then there are those who use it for bad, just like those who commit cyber bullying along with other minor and major things. We need technology regardless if people argue they like or not. There is no way to stop technology and keeping people from making it better. With the developments in technology, we may be able to enjoy all the pricey luxuries and still enjoy life at the same time.

  • Is Technology Dangerous for Society?

    When the world was created, there was no technology but yet man survived (Opara). As time moved on technology began to revolutionize the world. Man kept creating ways to make every life easier for themselves. I don’t see a problem with what man has created but what a man has become of it. I agree with Peace Chinwe Opara when he states in his article, “Technology has been implanted into people's blood. Man cannot do without technology. If technology is taken away, man will die. Imagine this world now without electricity. Do you think man will survive it?” People without technology will go crazy just like a chicken with its head cut off. Once upon a time man relied on their own strength, hard work and ideas to carry on business and complete everyday tasks. I’m not against technology but I can assure you that the direction of modern technology will only bring negative effects to society and the world.

  • Are We Too Dependent on Technology?

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    Finally I am able to describe my opinion in the situation, if whether or not society is becoming too dependent on technology. I believe that most of the times technology is helpful in carrying on everyday life, but at times technology isn’t really needed. Technology is used a lot to communicate, but some families don’t even spend time together and later just fall apart. To me medical technology is a very important factor to account for in this situation. Because it can either kill someone or save them. Education has also been brought up into this argument for helping students and affecting students. Family separation, medical advances, and education play a major rule in my decision toward this topic. Technology is a helpful tool for many people while to others it is just a distraction. Technology will never stop being developed but some of the thing being created and how they are used are really not the nessessary

    Society has been impacted both negatively and positively by technology. As a result, every aspect of our lives has been influenced by technology. Hence, life is easier, yet it has taken away some of the enjoyment. For example, remember the days of less stress and more personal interaction, when there were no online messages, no emails, social media or cell phones. We have become excessively dependent on technology. As a result, we need to rely less on technology even though it has made learning fun, and business, daily tasks, work, travel, shopping, making new friends and staying in touch easier. In conclusion, technology has a lot of benefits, yet it could take over our lives and become our worst enemy if we aren't careful.
