Technology And The Internet Reducing Pupil's Attention Span

Technology has become a daily part in one's lives where it helps people do the simplest of tasks and allows time consuming tasks be completed in seconds. People don't have to go to a bookstore to buy books anymore since e-books made the process easier or have to wait in long lines at the DMV when people can make an appointment through their phones. The amount of time technology saves people isn't beneficial though, according to Paul Goldberger and Christina Kline technology has belittled experiences that they believe are part of the experiences of life on a daily basis.

Having an environment that is advancing daily in technology makes communication everyday easier for people. It expanse the availability for communication for the people who are in different countries, gives them the ability to communicate in the comfort of their own home. For an instant, my mother lives here in the United States, but her family lives in Mexico, therefore, communicating face-to-face is inconvenient for them unless she flies to them. Technology has made my mother connect more with her family due to appreciating every moment

Many people are not mindful of how technology is disconnecting us from one another. When people pull out smartphones during a conversation or social gathering they will cause others to feel disconnected. These phones allow people to withdraw from what is happing now and move another situation reducing the quality of the conversation that is within our reach. In the essay "Stop Googling. Let's Talk" by Sherry Turkle; she believes that we are becoming a culture of short chats versus growing our culture of thinkers that are open to sharing in constructive and meaningful conversations with one another.

​Technological advancement is one factor that affects parent-child relationship. According to research, 46% of smartphone owners consider their smartphones as a necessity for daily living (Smith). Technology has made it possible to incorporate a lot of things in just one phone – you can use it as an alarm clock, a camera, a dictionary, and many more – making it a constant feature in day to day activities. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and other social networking sites have made communication easier, that’s a good thing. However, most college students spend their time interacting with their friends online and that causes them to spend less time bonding with their parents. Likewise, the parents distance themselves from their children when they use technology as a means to bring more work at home. Even if technology

Technology is constantly evolving it comes with pros and cons. Some may feel that the advancement in technology is doing more harm to the way we think than bringing us a positive outcome to the way a human brain works. For me technology has allowed has proven to bring more positive than negative. Technology has allowed human kind to accomplish the impossible, and resources such as google has opened minds to view, and think differently. By having resources such as magazines, newspapers, journals, and books online for us to read without any hassle.

Have you wondered that technology is a big part of your life? Or maybe too much of your life? But the truth is technology helps us in many ways. Smart phones can help you keep your calendar straight, some personal technology helps improve fitness and exercise, and otehr technology improves life at home with advanced new washers and dryers, microwaves, and automatic coffee machines. In fact, three specific reasons that technology is good is that it saves lives by improving medicine, keeps us connected to each other, and provides education and entertainment.

When looking through the years technology has benefitted society countless of ways. An example from the book would be the “seashells” that they have to put in their ears, which are basically bluetooth headsets that we have today. “And in her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight” (pg 10). This quote shows how the radio works and it’s helpful because being able to be hands free gives you the opportunity to do other things as well, and being able to multi-task. Looking at today's society there are countless benefits from technology some including medical advancements, research, and time management. A large one would be communication in the article it says; “Social media, texting, and long-distance phone calls has allowed us to contact with others from however far away we are from each other.

Turkle makes a valid point; parents are connected to their children twenty four hours a day never giving children the opportunity to discovery how to be alone. Before instant technology was in the palm of our hands, parents had to trust their children could go the store and make it home safely without call them when they felt worried or scared. But why are parents scared and worried? Technology has transformed our society into knowledge right at the touch of a screen, we get to see all the bad story on the news anytime we want to look at them, which affects the way we parent our children and let them discovery their on rite of

The great thing about having technology is that it allows us to things we couldn’t have done 30 years ago. Now that our lives have changed, we can do almost anything with a click of a button. With new advances, we are successfully capable of thinking better and faster, we are exposed to a wide range of information that benefits the people today and situations we experience

Technology isn’t a bad effect on our society; people in our society aren’t turning into the people that Bradbury predicted. The world benefits from technology all the time by being that people have jobs that require other forms of talking. Schools use technology; it benefits the work environment for the classroom, allowing research and a chance to make interesting assignments. Phones and computers are being used more frequently ever since Phones started to become popular in 2008. Video Game systems and computer and even phones have improve the relationships between people, the benefits from devices are

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.

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.

Is technology changing our lives for the better? That question is debatable depeding on how you look at it. Technology has definitely changed the way we think, how we remember things and how we react to things and certain situations. Clive Thompson, author of “Smarter than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better” thinks that we are “becoming less like Rodin’s Thinker (which is a statue of a man thinking) and more like Kasparov’s centaurs (a computer)”(pg.347). This means that we are relying more on the information we can get easily and quickly rather than the reading for the information. I believe that into today’s society we have become so used to how easy technology makes our lives that we don’t realize how much we rely on it. Thompson also states that technology “at their best can help us see more, retain more and communicate more. At their worst, they leave us prey to the manipulation of the tool makers” (pg.347). I think that quote relates most with the internet; because we are capable of so much, yet not all of what can be

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.

Technology has created shortcuts in working and made tasks easier to accomplish. Technology may have caused our life to be faster but it made it easier also. Phones, vehicles and computers are all physical examples that contributed abundantly towards the life of our people. With technology, transportation has increased significantly. We don’t have to walk to go
