For being in an age of rapid technological growth and advancement, it seems the changes that are occurring are shaping our society dramatically without us even noticing. Only when we take a minute to reflect on the differences between now and how previous generations were brought up is when we draw the conclusion that technology has impacted us and shaped our world in such a subtle yet powerful way. Although people of the older generations claim technology is to blame for the growing millennial laziness, technology has brought intelligence levels to an all time high, and introduced new skills that are preparing us for the way the world has adapted to this new standard of society. Technology has acquired a negative reputation mostly from the generations on the outside looking in. In other words, those who haven’t grown up in the era of technology often find ways to criticize it claiming that it has negatively impacted our upcoming generation. The article, Is Google making us stupid?, provides insight on the this issue by saying, “...it also seems that they go online to avoid reading in the traditional sense.” and follows up by stating, “we may well be reading more today than we did in the 1970s and 1980s...”.

However, we are reading more than we ever have which is actually impacting us in a beneficial way. Likewise, the older
Technology has impacted our world to the point of no return. The world is a social media cyclone meaning it’s a hurricane taking over, and it’s no denying in any way. Even if you tried to ignore what is happening in technology, it would nonetheless get introduced to you by a friend or a family member no matter what your circumstances are. You could hold a Priests position or practice some type of religion which don’t allow the use for today’s technology at all.
Technology is crucial with communication in different types of relationships. Communication is a key component in building a relationship, both in business and in a romantic relationship. As humans, it is natural that we communicate with one another. In the past, this had to be done through letters and postage companies, which would take awhile to deliver your message. In today's world, we humans use technology to communicate with our friends, business associates, consumers and loved ones. Communication has been aided by the invention of cellphones (mobile) and internet. These two inventions have changed the way we communicate, which is a good thing in today’s society. This generation heavily depends on technology to express their thoughts through text, email, and via phone call. This is because technology has made communication significantly faster than ever before.
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.
I’ve chosen to talk about technology devices being needed for our everyday use and how they affect us. There’s a lot of ways it impacts us, so I probably won’t go over all of them, just some of the things I can think of at the moment.
