Recommended: Give some advantages and disadvantages of modern technology

In the world we live in today every thing involves some sort of technology. We are surrounded by it twenty four seven and use it personally on a daily basis. At this very moment I am using technology to write this essay. Technology has made man kind life easier and has helped us a ton but it does have its disadvantages. We are too dependent on it. People are still able to live long healthy lives with out so much technology. All these advances are helping us at the moment but in the long run they are slowly killing us. I'm not going to lie Technology does gives us a lot we can benefit from. With all the technology there is these days we have been able to find cures to some diseases. It helps us keep in contact with our friends and family. It doesn't matter if that person is on the other side of the world; with the power of technology you can still email, text, web cam, or call them. I have a friend from Germany who was an exchange student during my sophomore year of high school and to this date we still keep in touch. It makes long distance relationships a little easier. Our cellphones could come in handy in case of an emergency. If you get lost or in some type of accident you can quickly call any one who can come help you. We can use our phones to note important information, set alarms, get directions, and much more. If you have a school project to work on you go on google and find a bunch of valuable information you need for it. At any given moment you can take out your phone look up a question and within a second you've got a billion answers. With all the advances of technology, we have many kitchen appliances to help us keep our food fresh and cook. What happen to using just regular paper and a pencil. Now a days some tea... ... middle of paper ... ...e because they are too busy texting. The other day I went on the bus and literally everyone around me was on there cellphone. What has our world come to be we are killing our brain cells with all this technology. It also makes me lose concentration in work that I have to get done. It takes me five hours to write an essay on my laptop because there are so many distractions on it. Some people may say that they don't depend on it because they are only obligated to use it for work and school. That is seventy five percent of your life. Others may say that we have too be dependent on it because we simply can not live without it. No body wants to admit that material things are the most important things in their lives. We are all addicted to technology. I would like to see people live a day with out technology. I bet everyone would go completely insane and start a rampage.

    We rely on it to do homework,communicate with friends, and most people use technology for work. If we did not have technology we wouldn't be able to get some of our assignments done. We would be failing classes and losing communication with our friends and peers. As in the 70s they didn't use google classroom to see what assignments the teacher posted they had to write them down. They did not type their essays they were handwritten most of the time. They kept a planer to keep themselves organized and wrote down the dates of important events they didn't have remind 101. Today most of us don't even know what a planner is much less own one to keep us organized we shove papers into our backpacks and binders, and rely on our technology to tell us when our next test is. Most of us today have no organization in our life because we rely so much on technology to keep us up to date on the latest news. While technology is a good thing we still need to keep some of the same values that people in the 70s had such as organizational skills. We can have and use technology while staying and keeping ourselves organized. We don't need to rely fully on technology because at some point we may not have it available to us at the moment such as if you got grounded, lost your phone, or broke it, and we need to know how to function and problem solve without it. Our society today is relying too much on technology. We need to learn to take responsibility for some things we do and not blame it on other things like technology. People in the 70s turned in their essays just fine without having a computer to type it own and we can do the

    Technology has been growing throughout the years, always changing and evolving in all new ways. It has become almost a second nature to us by now, to use technology on anything and everything. We use technology for the smallest things, such as looking up the recipe for your next meal, or the name of an actor, or just to check up on a friend. It seems to be that the more technology develops, the more addicted and the more dependent we become. If one were to analyze and really think about how many times we use technology a day, we will start to realize how much it has consumed us.

  • Technology: The Obsessive Use Of Technology And Screen Addictions

    733 Words  | 2 Pages

    This may be true in some cases. For example, yesterday at lunch, my phone and Chromebook both died, leaving me without anything to do for the next hour. Just having to sit there and observe the people around me helped me to notice a couple of things I haven’t before, one of them being just how many people were absorbed in their phones or Chromebooks. I couldn’t even talk very much with the people I sit with because they all just happened to be on theirs as well. Not only did this lead to a very boring lunch, it helped me realize something: teenagers do use their phones a lot. However, it was what they do on their phones that makes up for it. Us teens do not hate all social interactions; in fact, we live for social interaction. That’s why social media sites exist. Sure, my friends and I do not always talk much at lunch, yet we still keep in touch with each other via text, Snapchat, Instagram or any other social media platform we might use. This sort of interaction is also applicable to many adults who are just as obsessed with social media today. We might not talk face-to-face as much as we used to, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t

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.

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.
