Essay On Technology And Technology

We all know technology is a good thing, right? Or is it? We can all come up with reasons why technology is helpful or appropriate like we can for a particular medicine. And while some drugs are really great to cure or prevent a disease, sometimes the side effects outweigh any possible benefit. The same is true with technology. Some common negative side effects of technology are kids playing on their phones instead of going outside to play or young people not interacting face-to-face as much as they used to. Parenting is an area that has suffered since the rise in technology, specifically with phone use.

We hear again and again that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robots are going to take away human jobs.

By increasing the use of technology, it is limiting us from face to face interaction. Being on your iPhones 24/7 is creating a huge problem for the upcoming generation. Most people can sit behind a computer for hours typing how they’re feeling, whether on social media, email or text messaging, but they lack eye contact because they are so used to staring at a screen and hitting the send button that when they’re standing right in front of another human being they lack the basic skills for human interaction.

Innovation is the act of introducing something new; this could be an idea, a method, or a device. Innovation happens every day and if you pay attention you will see it all around you. With some new technology we as a people have to ask if it’s ethical, socially acceptable, or sustainable because sometimes the boundaries tend to get pressed. These questions can apply to every invention or discovery known to mankind. Not all of the latest and greatest become big news buzzing your ears with social media wars, picketing, or even rioting but they all have a life span as technology advances and humans continue to push the limits. The advancements are designed to help people not only do the simplest of tasks but at times extend to perform the greatest of tasks.

The rise of smart machines will lead to significant changes to how work is organized and how we complete work tasks.

The second theme in this review is children and technology. This is a popular topic when looking at how technology fits in family dynamics the research is often focused on looking at its effects on children and adolescents. For adults, modern technology such as cell phones and laptops are a recent occurrence, however, for children technology is something they have grown up with and is something they come into contact with on a daily basis. Which is why it is so important to look at the research that will give us insight into the implications technology has on the younger generation.

With today’s day and age we are in the heart of developing technological inventions. With all of the buzz, it is hard to not get caught up in the excitement because it is trendy and fun. There needs to be cautious with how it is used. Something as simple as picking up a cell phone and checking the newest message can become so automatic the brain doesn’t even need to process it. Which leads us to a dangerous place, like if that person were at the wheel of a weapon. Some people say texting and driving isn’t even that big of a deal. Like maybe someone can text without even looking. The facts are still there. Texting and driving can kill and is becoming “more trendy” every day the people let it.

I hypothesize the students in this study will perform well academically by using technology. Since there are mixed emotions about students using technology, I will also hypothesize that students will show positive behavior with how they perform during this process. The great use of technology and what it has to offer will maximize student behavior properly and show motivation while working on the assignment that will be given. In order to make this happen, teachers will be handing out laptops to each student who is involved in this study. The students will be given an assignment and will be asked to create a presentation of their choice by using Prezi. This will show the time and effort they put into this to make the presentation successful just by taking advantage of the tools and resources that technology has to offer. I hypothesize that each student will do academically well and overcome their struggles that they have as diverse learners. After this observation, students will then be given a survey. Student voices matter during this process and this determine how they feel about technology being more involved with their education.

Three-quarters of teachers surveyed link educational technology to a growing list of benefits, saying technology enables them to reinforce and expand on content (74%), to motivate students learn based on a statement posted in Arlington, VA 2013. Technology doesn’t get in the way of learning in fact it has increased the amount that kids want to learn. Technology does not get in the way of learning it helps with kids being able to look up lessons, and video tutorials if they don’t get the lesson when it was taught in class. It gives kids easier ways to relearn topics instead of having to read a book or even sit through the whole lessons again. Having technology is also better because you don’t have to waste time going to a public library for research projects.

Is technology influencing the way we think, act, and communicate? Yes, of course it is. Is that a good thing? That is a more complicated question. Our lives are changing as new technology arrives, whether you want to believe it or not. In many ways, that is a positive thing; in other ways, it can be perceived as negative.

Everything has their difficulties, but for technology, it has made communicating default and made us degrade our friendships. Henry David Thoreau says, “Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very intervals, not having had time to acquire any new values for each other.” Technology made our physical communication with people weak but also connected. This makes our values of friendship demeaning and overlooks the ethic of friendship. Technology plays a significant role in our daily lives and how it affects our friendship, the way we communicate with one to another, the way we connect and the way we see ourselves.

Equipment, medicine, and even the way we communicate with one another has all been changed due to technology. Due to the advancement of technology, changes in human interactions among each other has also developed. Various amounts of books and movies has been created around the relationship between human reliance on technology, such as children movies like Wall-E and Feed. This idea of a change in interactions between humans has been popularized in the media. Wall-E and Feed are a couple of examples that critique the future development of human reliance with technology through the human-to-human interactions in the plotline and characters.

Society is leading to the demise of childhood in regard to technology. For one children walking around that are as young as five years old with cellphones. As stated by the article ‘Blame society not the screen time’, “the next generation of technology is doom our kids” It is not even just the children on phones it is also children on gaming systems, when I play Xbox I see some of my friends online playing all night long which can cause tiredness and will take a toll on the academics of the children.
