Why Technology Is Bad For Us

Have you Realized you spend the rest of the day using technology , When you wake up until you go to sleep. Well Yes, The first thing you check is your cellphone or turn on the T.V and then your rest of the day Consistent of using any type of technology. I believe...

Although some people may say technology is bad for us, people should use technology for many good reasons. Technology can be use for connecting with people around the world, Making Things easier as in searching a place or thing up you need at that moment. Also Technology can be a big help when its a medical thing for someone or itself. Some people argue that technology is bad but in reality technology is helpful as in Education. Education is better when technology is there for example when your at school and you have to research a certain type or animal or object for a project , it’s easier to access a computer rather than looking up information in a book that may take a long time to look for that certain information you need. Also a

calculator is technology that helps you in a way and makes it easier to solve problems and its helpful because it does all the work for you and your brain doesn’t have to stress out. Technology helps students with their work at school( M, B").
The era of technology is advance now a days ,small childrens should learn how to use technology , it would be good for them if they are aware of what it is and how they can use it for whenever they have to use one in a situation. It’s good for them it doesn’t have to be a bad thing their devices out there in the world now that can help small children in focusing more in learning their numbers , words or alphabet , its educational and at the same time it will be fun for them. Little kids starting to use technology ( M, B").
Technology is not a isolation but a interaction, the reason is that you can still speak to people may not be in person but its over a computer or camera. Also Classes , Yes you can not only take classes going to a school but online. An online class without having to go to a place but instead can stay at home, you interact still meet a new teacher or other students same as you taking that same class. Distance education through internet and video courses help out meeting new people ( M, B"). Technology can be use not only in one way for only looking up things or having online classes but also helps persons as in a work field. Us people need to have our technical devices be fix for in order keep using them as they were before , like a laptop , we need those to be fix for us to do our work. So it helps us is different way. Endless jobs, people need their computer to be fix ( M, B").
Other Reason is that teachers benefit from using technology, they get their work done easier and faster. Since Technology is so advanced teachers can find out when a student is cheating for a certain assignment or copying from a website. Can tell when a student is cheating by a software ( M, B"). Technology is very useful in everyday life, a reason it connects you or your family if both of yall live far apart or in their states or countries. Even Friends Helps you keep connected or inform of what they doing now or how they been. Connects people in a way , around the world Unity (Lafayette, Katie M. ). The date or time we live now had been advanced and still is advancing around the world unlike years before when they had invented few things for certain use. for example cars , cars are technical object , helps us move around. Also Cars exist all over the world.
Technology moves our world forward (Lafayette, Katie M.)
In Situations like if somebody house is on fire or some body is in danger if phones weren't to exist how would police or firefighter would know somebody is in danger and need help. Technology is a great help for life, thats how they keep in touch with the different departments of police or firefighter or other important departments. Cell Phones play a part in this they can track your phone and find a person when they been kidnapped or in any other situation needed.
In an Emergency technology is very helpful(Lafayette, Katie M.)
Although people argue whether technology is good or bad people should not use technology that can be a bad thing because people are so into it they forget other things. Technology is no good thats sometimes we forget how important is to do other things than using technology such as a computer or laptop or any other devices that keep us from reality , you could do something else valuable than having hours on a computer (Hindenach, Jeff). Another reason is that any type of technology can be addictive as in a computer or cell phone or game system and other things too related to technical devices such as this listed. You on them all day , you won’t even notice because you're so busy on these devices and that s a problem there. “ Technology can be worrying and addictive” (Hindenach, Jeff). Also you need yourself to be knowledgeable not only in technology but in real world stuff such as being able to solve a problem with using any help such a calculator or depending on a device to help what you are looking for. “Researchers have said that the brain needs to be rich with development with real stuff , not just digital’’ (Hindenach, Jeff)
Technology in school has it downfalls , Technology can cost a lot , laptops in school they have been paid a good amount of money to have them in school , in some schools they can’t afford it cause its so costly , instead of spending all that money in technology they should spend it wisely , in things as in equipment for sports or activities to do with elementary schools.

Technology can be expensive (Cohen, Shawna.). In Schools some teachers preferred not to put technology in schools especially for elementary schools because since they are small and they are just learning they shouldn’t use technology at school but learn how to solve or be good in subjects such as math , they can be capable of using their brain. As well memorized numbers and word without using any device Some educators believe their shouldn't embrace technology in classrooms. (Cohen,

Shawna.)
In Schools its better if a student has hands on, on activities rather than have programs for them to learn certain subjects or to do certain project on the internet or softwares. Hand on is good because kids can talk to each other and get along and think as a group. Hands on it’s better than computer programs (Cohen, Shawna.). As Well it’s distraction too for kids esepcially smaller kids they won’t pay attention for trying to play on the laptop or computer all the time or they’ll want to play on it and have their minds thinking about it. Doesn’t let student’s focus (Cohen, Shawna.) It Affects them in socialzing with other around them in school because if they spend alot of time on computers they arent getting what they need and what they need is to socialize with thier peers or teachers but instead if they are on the computer they willl be to busy not caring but only want to be on the computer than wanting to play with their peers Screen time kids need to go and socalize (Cohen, Shawna.) .
Another reason is that some teachers don’t know much about using technoogly and thier old school , it makes it diffucult for them in a way. Some teachers are not aware of technology (Cohen, Shawna.) It Takes away the knowledge thinking of the kids and the creaticity side of them for example when thier using the computers or any other device thier mind is focus on that , that thier mind is not thinking beyond and they look up to the computer . Also kids will not want thier play or will want to play with toys becuase they are going to want to the with the computer , they know that the computer have games or type of softwares that get thier attention. (Cohen, Shawna.)
