Pros And Cons Of Dependence On Technology

First, most people think about the way that the technology has improved. Yah that’s true because technology has helped people stay in touch with their long lost families, and help keep up with friends they haven’t seen in a while or has move away. The point t that they fail to realize is that having technology also comes with a lot of problems it. Like for Example: texting while driving, cheating on tests, walking into the road and getting hit by a car. There is many ways that technology has affected society. According to a newspaper article “a 21 year old man was apparently walking down a road in broad daylight and was not paying attention to a car what heading in that direction. As the

We rely on technology for everything in our lives today. It is hard for us to be more than ten steps away from our phone. Dependence on technology is even evident in Fahrenheit 451. In the novel, the TV is everything to some people. It becomes their friend their family and even their life. They even have technology that butters their toast and medical procedures. We use technology everyday whether it is our phone, laptop, or ipod. We use them every single day all day long. If something was not to work for a single day our society would crash with the absence of technology.

Technology is an essential part of the American life and it's constantly changing with the newer generations. A few people view technology as a positive addition to life while others believe it is a negative thing and will take over their lives. Nicholas G. Carr a well known American, the author of The Shallows a novel about the various distractions that come with internet and how people are losing key skills. In the start of the book the negative effects of modern technology on the masses. Carr’s argument is effective and flawed for various reasons such as don't include the helpful advances have improved education, medical field and business.

In these days, people get addicted to the technology around that we are not even realize. Although technology is very useful to us, it has more disadvantages than we think. Almost everybody in this world think that technology make life more convenient. It is true!!! But very few realize how technology is going to affect our lives. Technology affects us negatively by decreasing the ability of our brain, consuming more time, and decreasing the life skill ability.

Fifty years ago, pen and paper were the main tools used to communicate. Thirty years later, computers became more prevalent and individuals began using computers more regularly. Today, computers, tablets, and iPhones have become almost a necessity due to the various jobs and schools that require their usage for communicating or turning in assignments. Most people in the United States could agree that they use technology on a daily basis however, compared to fifty years ago, this was obviously not the case. But many individuals today are wondering the same question: how is our increasing use of technology affecting us?

The consequences of progressing technology are actually great because it is easier to reach people around the world at the speed of lighting and the global market is within the reach of a fingertip. Surely, it could save time and expand productivity in a positive form. Advanced technology causes communication to be easier and less expensive, it can improve the healthcare system and the education. Nonetheless, there could negative aspects on the environment and people. Technology can be addictive and caused people to be lazy and dependent without having the opportunity to train and exercise the brain by relying too much on computer devices. Besides, its debris could be very destructive to the environment.

Our society has changed drastically over the centuries, and it hasn't been for the better. Technology plays a huge role in the way our society has evolved. In my opinion, it is the main reason our society hasn't changed for the better.  In many ways technology has been very useful. Technology allows people to access important information quickly, we can stay in touch with important people and family members. However, while technology is beneficial it also has its many downfalls. Nowadays, teens would rather lock themselves in their rooms and play on their phone and even parents are too enthralled with their Mobil devices that they don't even pat any attention to their family. Children from the young ages of 5 and even younger are being exposed to the internet where while the internet has amazing features there are also many things young children at that age should not see.

Technology has become an important part of the American lifestyle. Everything from work to school involves technology in some way, shape, or form. For example, computers have made gathering and transferring information much simpler and accessible. This is a benefit to society because people are able to become better educated in a convenient fashion. Convenience has always been one of the main goals that technology has tried to accomplish. All major inventions, from automobiles to the internet, were created to make life more convenient and easier for people. Whereas automobiles made it easier for people to travel long distances in short amounts of time, the Internet has made gathering information, doing business, and learning much more convenient. Although convenience is a major benefit that technology gives us, there are also negative effects on society as a result of new inventions. Not all technology is beneficial, many new technologies have had a negative impact on our youth. Therefore, technology has hindered the American society because it has made people more self-centered, encouraged laziness in American youth, and made establishing relationships much more difficult.

In today’s modern world, technology reigns. Millions of people all over the globe utilize technology for a multitude of purposes every day, whether it be at work, school, or even from the leisure of their home. If you were to ask most people in America if they could live without technology even for a day, the answer would most likely be no. Contrary to opinions that are popular with my fellow millennials, I think that society is too dependent on technology. I believe society relies on technology too much because we use the internet for simple tasks that we should be capable of doing ourselves, our dependence has resulted in laziness, and technology is rapidly replacing people in the workplace, thus resulting in less jobs.

Last but not least, technology makes us lazy. Children do not want to read books anymore when they can just run to a computer and get the summary of the book. People are becoming obese because they are not getting out of their homes anymore to exercise because they are glued to Farmville on Facebook. We rather do something easy than actually take the time to do it the long way around. Technology has made the people of the world couch potatoes. We can do everything at a push of a button, and we don’t have to put forth much effort to do the things that we once use to do manually.

It is amazing that technology has changed the world around us, within just two decades. Some of the technologies include instantaneous communication, realistic looking games, information at the tip of you fingers, and personal computers. These are some of technologies that affect our lives so much. Without them, we could not call it the modern age of man kind.

Technology has made a big difference in our society such as communication, work, education, and entertainment in good and bad ways. Some people say that technology has made life better with the internet, cell phones and other devices. While others say technology has been making life worse because people are becoming lazy and replace their lives with technology every day. Technology surrounds almost everyone in modern society and it affects our lives in many ways.

On a daily basis, both businesses and individuals rely on technology. It cannot be denied that technology has become part of our everyday life. As individuals, we all depend on technology, either for education, health purposes, transportation, communication, romantic relationships, and/or business growth . It is impossible to explore how each advancement in technology has impacted our lives as well as how it will impact the future, but we can briefly explore the major advancements. Technology impacts the environment, people individually, and the society as a whole.

Technology is continuously developing and has begun creating shortcuts for the American society. As a society we need to find a balance between our technological use and our everyday life. In my opinion, society has become too dependent on technology. The more advanced technology becomes, the more it seems to be gaining control over our lives. Even though technology is offering society many beneficial qualities; it also is causing many negative effects to occur. Technology is affecting society socially, mentally, and physically.

As far back as I can remember my family and I have taken advantage of technology. The types of technology have changed over the years, along with our usage and dependence on it. Technology is a fundamental part of our lifestyle, including both work and play. What is interesting is that we also have many friends who use very little technology in their day-to-day living. This drastic difference makes one wonder how necessary the technology really is, and whether or not our dependence on it is healthy in the long run. It is really easy to just get caught up in using technology without thinking about the pros and cons.
