How Technology Has Made A Positive Impact On An Individual 's Life

Technology grows everyday. We see technological advancements everywhere throughout the world, whether it is a new phone being released, a new computer being invented, or a new scientific experiment used in the medical field. Technology is constantly expanding, and with this expansion, we must ask ourselves one question: do we rely too heavily on technology? When discussing technology, there are limits and fine lines between using and abusing these technologies that are at hand, but as we discover these limits and ask ourselves this question, we look at the generation of fresh adults in our local area who are entering college and the growth of social media within this generation. Undoubtedly, young Americans utilize social media everyday whether

It seems as if social media is known for the bad that happens, but I would like to focus on the positives about social media. I believe that social media is a great source for teenagers and children around my age. Not only does social media allow you to meet new people with similar interests as you, it allows you to reach out to famous people or can get out of your comfort zone. Teenagers can also use social media to find out the news. Some people watch the news on TV, but people my age find out what's going on through social media. Teenagers use social media as a source of entertainment such as watching funny Youtube or Facebook videos. Teenagers can also use social media for advice, such as if you don’t know an answer to a homework problem you could just direct message one of your friends for help. People like to think that only bad comes from social media, but that is simply incorrect. Yes bad stuff can happen, but there’s always a chance for something bad to happen. I believe that social media is great for teenagers, and so should you.

I think that new technology needs to be prevalent in our daily lives. Modern medicine has made so many advancements because of new technology. I do think in our daily, personal lives, that we are way too dependent, but with new technology, it can help save lives or make better structures, we need to be dependent on advancements. People have become addicted to the phones or tablets. They cannot socialize without constantly looking down at their phone. Some even use their cell phones in inappropriate places or times. Everything around a cell phone user, seems to be invisible to them. They do not seem to have time for others.

Technology is defined as machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. Its original use was meant solely for the service of humans, however overtime it has evolved into something much different. What was originally meant to be an assisting piece of machinery has changed almost every aspect of our culture. The way we think, communicate, lie, and even love has been impacted by the use of technology, and all of this is has made for interesting pieces of literature. In pieces such as Her and I, Robot, we see the evolution of robots and artificial intelligence into a more empathetic and humanlike creatures. This gradual change in our views of robots overtime speaks volumes to the evolution of technology. Technology in literature has become a reflection of human beings themselves, mirroring the very qualities of ourselves that make us human. By looking at the personality that technology takes on in literature, we can greater understand the aspects of ourselves that truly make us human.

Civil Society is a term that’s cropping up more and more amongst those concerned with the changing shape of modern society. A “civil society” is a measure of how much we care for the community and how much effort we put into the success of it. As technology develops more and more people aren’t able to practice the values of a civil society due to the influenced of “screen culture.” This “screen culture” refers to all the devices that have nearly become a limb for many people in this twenty first century. Sherry Turkle, a psychologist, demonstrates in her article Alone Together about how technology has influenced our everyday lifestyles from simple household chores, to having intimate relationships with robots. We now live in a society

Over a thousand teenagers in the world has a phone with internet. Over the past hundred years technology has changed in many ways. Some ways the internet has changed my life is in school, home ,and with cars . First and foremost is school and how it has changed. Since technology school has become more advanced with its studies. Now instead of doing work sheets, we do games and problems on a computer. Also instead of going to the library a checking out books to study. We can go on the internet and find all the answers. Finally there is research for a paper or a project we have to do. We don’t use the books we use our phones to do projects and papers. These are the advancements we have in school.

The current generation of children is completely different than the preceding ones. They are living in the digital age. “Technology has blended in with daily activity to become a way of life and children today take for granted all of which is automated. It is hard for kids nowadays to imagine a world that existed without all of the gadgets, electronics and seamless operations that computer technology provides.” (3) “Children in the United States devote some 40 hours a week to television, video games and the Internet.” (12) Many psychologists and researchers are concerned about the impact that technology has on children. Children, tomorrow’s future parents and leaders, are being consumed by the negative effects that technology had on their

In an era like the twenty-first century, it is not unusual for children all over America to be exposed to technology. The Pew Research Center released the “Teens, Social Media, & Technology Overview 2015,” which determined that eighty-seven percent of adolescents have access to a computer and fifty-eight percent have access to a tablet (Lenhart). In addition, the research center also reported that ninety-two percent of adolescents reported daily internet use. Before, children were playing outside with friends for fun, and socializing with their friends and family in person. Today, kids play and interact through laptops, tablets, and other media devices. Technology has become a part of most children and adolescent’s everyday life, through the way they interact with the world.

Everywhere you look technology is being used. It is used in schools, workplaces, at home, in transportation facilities, and everywhere you go. Technology has quickly become apart of people's everyday life. Younger generations haven't experienced a world without technology. Life has been made easier over time, with advances in the technological world. The Internet and virtual social networks are new technologies that have had the most impact on young people and have provided many benefits to their users. Some benefits include staying in touch with distant relatives and having easy access to important news or weather updates. We have the answers to pretty much all of our questions with just one push of a button. People are so engulfed in their technological devices that most they don’t even realize how harmful they can be. It can cause a variety of issues including diseases, mental and physical issues, and bodily functions start to degrade.

Reclusiveness has been a very deterring aspect in my life. It has affected me as an individual, as a team member and also as an emerging health professional. However, during my participation in this course I have come to understand that it is important to make myself better, and that will resonate in other aspects of my life. My journey started when I decided to select this course. Of course I just picked it on a whim because the title indicated complex communication, just to try breaking out of my shell, and becoming more confident. In just a few weeks, I have learned so much about not just myself but also other people. Yet I have more to learn as I have realized that I am not as knowledgeable as I thought. My reflection looks at not only what I have learnt so far but the surprises I discovered, my improved confidence in what I already knew, and ideas that have changed my opinions, what I wish I had done differently and the improvements I would like to make as I move forward. I began this course grudgingly, because I was going through a lot of transitioning at once, moving to a new home, starting a new job, and starting a new school, all contributed to my initial disinterest. As I look through my weekly reflections there were three reoccurring words I noted. Self, team and communication are all common denominators that summarizes my total weekly reflections till date.

The world we live in today is changing fast, due to the introduction and the advance of technology, it has improved modern life in many different ways. When you wake up what’s the first thing you do? You turn off the alarm off or hit snooze button on your phone. What’s next? The T.V., radio, or microwave, just think how many things throughout the day we use that involves using technology. We have based our lives around the use of technology. Yes, it’s good and has made our life’s easier, but it has also caused many problems that have been over viewed. Everything we need to do involves us using technology. Technology has taken over our life’s, as explained in “Technology: Do We Control It or Does It Control Us?”. After reading and analyzing it, I agree with it.

In today’s reality when discussing technology, most individuals will unavoidably specify teenagers. It is correct, adolescents are obsessed with technology and in any case there are doubtlessly benefits to this obsession. There are many positives to social media and technology but, the bad outweighs the good. The internet and social media are here to stay for awhile so, sites like Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube will be on the screens of adolescents for who knows how long. Many sites have become the main priority of teenagers everyday lives. Today it can be used as a very helpful tool in day to day life, but at the same time cause numerous problems which can negatively impact a person.

Various individuals long for a time when technology did not take over the world. For teenagers, it is difficult to imagine a life without the World Wide Web and its countless perks at their fingertips. Social media consumes young lives more than any other form of technological advancement. Social media has a few pros, but also its fair share of cons.

Over the years social media and internet, itself has taken a huge impact on everybody’s lives, especially the younger generations. It has been said to “take over” an individual’s life. Social media can have positive and negative impacts on people. The parents of the younger generation never had any kind of Facebook, Instagram, snapchat, twitter, etc. Now, by the time a child is 3 they already know how to use technology such as a phone or iPad. Technology itself has majorly changed this generation in so many ways.

Technology has been involved in people’s lives forever, especially in the Millennial Generation. This generation consists of individuals born between the years of 1982-2004. The articles “The Flight From Conversation,” “Teens and Technology 2013,” and “Leading The Charge For Change” deals with teens interacting with technology today.Each article has different topics, but they connect through the over dependence of teens to technology. The Millennial Generation becomes less and less in touch with the real world and morphs into a quasi-reality.
