Social Media Intervention : The World Will Have A Generation Of Idiots

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.

It is a great way to stay communicated with the world around you but has also created harm making it unhealthy to society. An example that it is unhealthy to our society, the film called Nosedive from Black Mirror on Netflix, a story by Charlie Brooker, it is about a woman who is desperate to boost up her social media score that she is so engaged to her technology. She doesn’t see much of her surroundings or pretends to be living in the perfect life for this being an example of isolation. She is addicted and looking for acceptance through her technology for according to Seife, “Instead of exposing us to the differences, the Internet actually encourages conformism and intolerance.”(289). Seife’s statement makes sense to the film Nosedive because the women is following traditional standards of conduct how her society is on their technology as she’s following her own beliefs. The film shows their own society having to fit in with technology through mobile devices, everyone shares their daily activities and rates their interactions with others on a one-to-five star scale, and where one's current average rating can be seen by others and has significant influence on their societal status. This film reflects and gives the idea on how our own society

Technology is the inevitable force that is sweeping countries, and taking millennials with it. Simon Sinek states that “adolescents are becoming addicted to social media. Social media itself is not bad, but the imbalance is. Like all addictions, being addicted to social media will ruin relationships, it’ll cost time, and cost money.” Not to mention, using technology too much and not interacting with others face-to-face is depriving adolescents of important relationship skills that are essential inside and out of a job. Electronic usage itself is not bad, but using too much of it is, as with anything else. As Ray Bradbury points out in The Veldt, “Too much of anything is not good for

Technology has almost everyone hooked on it we use it for everything now and cannot stop relying on it. Some people think relying on technology is helping us gain more knowledge, but others think it is making us less resourceful. The first article which I will talk about is called "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" By Nicholas Carr; Carr discusses that use of internet resources can benefit us, but have a downside to them. The second article is "Smarter than You Think" by Clive Thompson; Thompson also discusses how technology and humans working together can be very beneficial in intelligence. I believe the issues of whether or not technology is pushing knowledge in the right direction affects everyone that uses

The revolution of social media and smart technology began with advancements in knowledge of how things can all come together. We are now in an age where there is technology all around us, and everything has become “smart” including our phones to our tv. Which has changed the way we communicate and go through life. These advancements in technology have had an effect on those of the younger generation seeming to create a sort of dependency on these technologie. The way children behave and operate today are totally different than what is was just a few years ago because of these advancements in technology,

Technology is part of our lives; or is our life, and it has too much of an effect on everything. The internet started out as an amazing experiment, now it became this enormous

I have grown more scared of the world now that technology is over running our life. German Theoretical Physicist, Albert Einstein once said “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction, the world will have a generation of idiots”. When we hear that we don’t really think much of it, a dead famous scientist words, they mean nothing right? Or do they? In the book, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, Nicholas Carr makes the case that technology is inducing an intellectual decay in our brains. On the website fortune.com Bruce Friedman blogged It’s a provocative

It's almost as if we can't put down our phones or live without technology. When I was growing up I was still without technology and as I grow older, I have learned to adapt and learn to cope with the world we now live in. I myself have personally noticed some effects this has had on my social, mental and physical abilities, but I was more than likely predisposed to a small attention span due to the fact that mI am indeed someone who suffers from ADHD. Which would make me predisposed to a small attention span, so I can not credit technology for my problem as that would be rather bias. Does that mean everyone is going to suffer certain issues with technology? No, it does not mean everyone will be obese and have smaller attention spans and lose their creativity. We need to stop looking at all the negatives and learn some of the positives and focus on making these things better for my generation, the next generation and multiple generations in the

The progressing changes in technology, like social media, can both push us, as a society, further and closer to and from each other and personal connections. The articles “How Computers Change the Way We Think” by Sherry Turkle and “Electronic Intimacy” by Christine Rosen argue that technology is quite damaging to society as a whole and that even though it can at times be helpful it is more damaging. I have to agree and disagree with this because it really just depends on how it is used and it can damage or help the user.

While many people put off and ignore the issue of social media and its downfalls, others say that people should think about how our lives are being affected by this advancement in technology, including, lack of human contact and precious time being lost due to consumption with social media. Social media is currently a highly controversial topic in which numerous people have mixed feelings. Society has typically viewed new advancements in technology as beneficial and a sign of success within their country. But, has it solely caused successful outcomes, or are there downfalls to these advancements?

Knowing when to use a device is key to make people have a great social life. As John Horvat from the TheBlaze website describes how effected people are that we would rather deal with a machine then a real person (Horvat, “Five Ways Technology Is Taking Over Your Life”).Self-discipline is something learned from a kid when they are being disciplined properly by their parents because as I grew up my parents would say, “stop watching (while they turn off the television) and go outside.” Also letting I use the computer only for homework and that’s all was the magic rule. Christian Lous Lange famous quote states, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master” (“Technology: Useful Servant / Dangerous Master”, 2014). That is to say we control the technology and if ever gets control of us then it will cause danger to our society. Technology is not the bad but we are if we let ourselves to get manipulated. Also Lange gives truth about our technology by asserting, “Nowhere is this sense of serving a hidden master more pronounced than with the convergence of social media and mobile platforms” (Technology: Useful Servant / Dangerous Master”, 2014). Otherwise, to put it another way he is say there is a potential to see that hidden master which means having an addiction to social media and mobile platform. Nevertheless, this is where we go back to where the line is built to separate being the master and being the servant. Horvat then

Technology has become inescapable. Whether you're in a store, at school, or even at church, there's technology all around you being used in many different ways. It's changed the way we live our everyday lives, whether we notice it or not. Technology is used to check you out at the grocery store, it allows you to pass in your assignment at eleven fifty-nine the night before it's due, it even has given our soldiers the ability to walk again, but do these good impacts overshadow our ability to see its negative impacts? And if the good truly does overshadow the bad, is that okay? On a personal level, technology has affected my own life by helping me maintain relationships, possibly hindering my reading ability, and by becoming a necessity for everyday life. It's become infectious, not only for me, but for the majority of its users. The question is though, is this constant use really hurting us, and if so, are we ready to stop it?

The use of technology and social media makes our life a lot easier. Social media and technology play a huge role in our everyday life and friendship. In today’s world, people, mostly teenagers use social media and technology every day to communicate and interact with others. Technology gives us an opportunity to connect with anybody we want from anywhere we are, saving us time. According to “Daily News” 84 percent of people worldwide say they couldn’t go a single day without their mobile device in their hand. That means almost everybody uses their phone in order to communicate and stay updated. I use my phone every single day and I cannot imagine living my life without a smartphone. I go on social media websites every day to connect with friends and see what they are doing. It is the fastest way to interact with friends and I love technology for that. A couple decades ago people didn’t have good communication devices therefore it was much harder for them to connect with each other. Technology makes it much more convenient and easy for us to use, saving us a lot of time. Having technology makes our life easier and at the same time virtual. It is very convenient and just normal for our society to use it everyday. In my opinion modern technology provides more options and opportunities to connect with our friends. I really don’t think that technology and social media ruin our friendships like most people would say. It all depends on how you use it. Technology and Social media

Individuals utilize technology to complete even the least difficult of undertakings regular. Rather than writing things, we type them. Rather than working out a math issue, we utilize a calculator to solve our problems. Individuals will truly use their cars to drop or pick up to get the mail as opposed to walking to the mailbox. We utilize technology to make our suppers, wash our garments and use the bathroom, which is the reason individuals hate blackouts. Table games are out of date. Presently, we have TV and amusements to engage ourselves. Another technology used is our cell phones. Do these technologies have any negative impacts on your life? Why or why not? Yes and no. We Americans are very reliant on technology. I am clearly on technology as I express my contention. If not for technology, we would not have the capacity to impart, work, learn, and so forth. So yes, we rely upon technology in light of the fact that everything around us is either technology, found because of technology, or designed from utilizing technology. While there is contentions that technology, for example, cell phones disintegrate our focus, as well as hurt our brains with EMR; the final product is that a master technology society has a tendency to have better human services and better actualized technology in healing centers. In spite of the fact that we may feel the agony for the time being, in the long haul it is better.

The obvious answer is that social media and smartphones are making society less and less intelligent by the second. It is setting everyone back because of its pointless features and addictive nature. Social media can also blow simple matters out of proportion. Depending on who the user is friends with or following, newsfeeds and timelines can be loaded with biased opinions regarding subjects such as sports games, newly passed laws, or even celebrities’ clothing choices. Some may also state that social media is too dangerous because internet predators can easily create false accounts and possibly take advantage of other users. Although these seem to be logical reasons for social media and smartphones to be negative things, there is another side of the argument
