Positives And Negatives Of Technology

Technology is both a blessing and a curse. It can make the lives of people better or it can completely make everything inconvenient. Technology has gone from something that was once complex to something used on the daily. It, in fact, may be destroying and taking over society. This idea is proposed in both “By the Waters of Babylon” by Stephen Vincent Benet and “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury.

Technology in the modern day is completely changed from the technology that the criminal justice field used in the 1900’s early 2000’s.

Teachers, who see these children and teens in school for nearly half a day, are left with a choice either allow technology in the classroom or focus strictly on the traditional teaching style. Both sides have their respectable arguments, but the major aspect of learning is the environment. Allowing technology creates one that encourages the students to use familiarity of technology, which can open to new doors of learning and provides an easy going atmosphere.

Technology has advanced tremendously over time, from the beginning of time when we first discovered how to create fire and when we invented the first wheel. As time advanced we advanced and created new innovations upon objects or inventions.

Time and distance are not an obstacle in terms of exchanging information anymore. We are able to connect with anyone at anytime from a very long distance. This helps us maintaining our relations, communicate and gain information. Yet, many of these developments create stress, interruption, and isolation. While everyone is saying, this is a gift. In many cases, this is a malicious curse. Technology has its positive and negative impacts. There is no clear right or wrong side of this debate.

Everyday our modern society is introduced to new forms of technology that are created to enhance the efficiency of our daily lives, this may come in the form of cellphones, computers, cars, and even robots to an extend. In recent years I’ve noticed that the development of our society as a collective has come to a holt, the same technology created to make us more efficient on a day to day basis is becoming a dangerous distraction at all times only allowing a few individuals who choose to be off the grid to succeed. The biggest distraction at our disposal today are cellphones; cellphones or smartphones are great, you can speak to anyone through call and text, and use hundreds of apps to stay entertained at all hours of the day to battle boredom. Cellphone technology has advanced ridiculously in the past 20 years allowing our devices to do more than what we intended for them and as a result we have found ways to exploit it for entertainment allowing for us to receive stimuli (pleasure) at all hours of the day in turn harming our attention spam and our ability to interact with others.

Today’s modern life is surrounded with technology and it has been growing rapidly over time, becoming an important part of everyday life. It has become a major debate whether technology has a positive or negative impact on our youth. Technology has its impact on all ages such as adults, teens, and even our toddlers. Many companies are inventing tools for kids to help them learn in different ways which can make them more advanced than kids their age. As much as technology has changed the way our kids absorb information or entertain themselves, it has also affected their ability learn, their health, and also how they interact with others.  As children continue to become more occupied with technology, many adults have begun to wonder whether or not electronic devices is a good thing or not.

Technology is one of the strongest and powerful tools people use today in the twenty-first century. “In the modern knowledge and information society, everyone can enjoy benefits from advanced information and communication technologies.” (Jun 1). When use technology they lose lack communication with other, they lack time, attitude change, and lastly lack of school work. Technology is a strong addition that can lead to children doing negativity things.

Throughout history, technological advances have been an effective way for the media to get information out to society, whether it was factual or not. Technology affects almost every aspect of society and can be used as a device to spread the word which alters the way that many people live their lives. In the graphic novel “The influencing machines”, written by journalist Brooke Gladstone and cartoonist Josh Neufeld, the authors embrace the reluctant views towards the history of technology while arguing the positive and negative effects when dealing with false accusations that are brought to people's attention. People don’t fear technology itself, they fear the unknown effects that could be brought upon them in their future. Although everyone has the ability to make their own decisions and believe what they choose, the media has a huge influencing factor in the way we view, analyze, and talk about news.

In today’s world, children partake the advancement of technology more specifically smartphones, computers, laptops, and anything else that has access to the internet. With this come the dangers of exposing children to ideas and including access to the expansive web. Throughout this time magazine article Eliana Dockterman seeks to sway her addles parental audience that technology is beneficial to our children; however Dockterman bias on this topic diminish her ethos and leaves her audience undecided with too many questions and with fewer answers.

The positive aspects of technology are communication in business, communication for the disabled, online dating, online community.
