Recommended: Impacts of technology

On average, Americans spend over 10 hours of their day on a digital device. Many young people today believe that having their phones and computers taken away would be the end of the world. Before digital devices consumed our days, generations found alternative ways to entertain themselves, whether it be playing outside with friends or conversing with family over a Sunday dinner.
Interpersonal interactions build strong relationships. If a strange cosmic storm were to affect my devices, I would spend my time socializing with my family and friends. Rather than being upset over the fact that my phone was rendered inoperable, I would embrace the opportunity. Since I was 6 years old, I have spent days at a time without internet and access to

These phones are now destroying our personal connections with our friends and families because now we are to distracted with whats going on, on our phones instead of what is happening in reality. Breene also supports this claim that technology is corrupting our friendships, in her painting.

  • The Overuse of Technology in Our Daily Life

    1436 Words  | 3 Pages

    Would that be possible to stay away from our technology’s devices for just a day? The answer for this question will bring a lot of negative answers, and of course if we ask this question in a survey, “NO” will be the winner of this survey. Talking about the use of technology reminded me one of the sources from my annotated bibliography by Amy Petersen, who is the Theatre and Media Arts Department Chair and Associate Professor in the College of Fine Arts and Communications at Brigham Young University. In her article which she wrote about the overuse of tech in our daily life and its affects, she said “If you would have told me a few years ago that I would feel completely lost without a cell phone, I never would have believed you. Now my iPhone is almost always within reach. My children likely believe that my most important possession is my MacBook Air, which is usually open and on whenever I am in the house. (“Jensen” par. 3)” Yes technology, internet, and cell phone became our best friends, and most of us can’t live without them.

  • Essay On Face To Face Communication

    1169 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hence, it might be perceived that cell phones have improved the communication between people. As such, people separated by geographic regions no longer need to communicate using crude methods such as smoke and human messengers. Nonetheless, as Neves (2013) revealed, the past communication methods promoted the prevalence of face-to-face communication, which, in turn, assisted in creating a better social cohesion. In addition, if a need arose, people would travel long distances to have physical contact with others. Unfortunately, such an outcome is no longer a priority. As a result of cell phones, people are downplaying the need for physical contact or interaction. Thus, they prefer making calls to communicate or solve a particular problem. Indeed, as Zilberstein (2015) revealed, people are even solving a breakdown in their relationships through cell phone calls. However, the problem is that when talking on cell phones, a social connection is not created. Zilberstein (2015) claimed that for individuals to understand each other, it means that every element of interpersonal communication, which includes touch, eye contact, feedback, and gesture among others have to be present. Cell phone communication only promotes feedback, which means that the subsequent bond created is weak and

    I was once told by a teacher that scholarships receive about 1000 applications before their deadlines close, and around 10 of those people are accepted. A one percent chance. He said that statistically, 50 percent of students drop out of college, even with scholarships. That gives me a 0.5 percent chance. I did not work as hard as my body would allow me, for a 0.5 percent chance. I did not overcome my parent’s divorce, for a 0.5 percent chance. I did not double check my homework, instead of wondering if there was enough food to feed me and my 4 brothers tonight, for a 0.5 percent chance.
