Technology Controls Humanity

Throughout the evolution of mankind, we made discoveries that change the way we live our lives today. Over time, these breakthroughs demonstrate the progress succumbed by the human race as challenges arise. Nevertheless, technology is a significant factor to the progress in today's world. If there was no tech then there would be no cell phones. Cell phones are one of those vital pieces of tech we use frequently. Tech is always around us. Humans create things to make life easier and resolve a once difficult task at hand. Moreover, inventions brought up in the past make the present and future bigger and brighter because of how much simpler life becomes. Because of the technological advancements

Most people in today’s society have been affected by how simple technology makes our lives. Considering they’re hand held computers, it makes sense. All of this technology at our fingertips has also brought upon its negative outcomes. Technology has created a false world that we consume ourselves with on a daily basis.

Throughout the course of history, humans have made great technological advancements. During the Renaissance, the printing press had revolutionized all of Europe; the accessibility of books had become universal, and people learned how to read and write. Because of the printing press, people became smarter and humanity had made a huge advancement into the modern world. In the 21st century, however, there is a growing issue; even though humans are becoming smarter, the human brain has suffered a negative impact from the internet. In the book, "The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains," by Nicholas Carr, Carr discusses how the internet completely changes the way people think. Because of the internet, our ability to think deeply,

It is unbelievable how fast technology can change the way society lives today, compared to how we lived in the past and what the future has in store for us. Technology can be beneficial in the health care system by helping us create medicine and find new cures for disease we have been battling for years. However, when technology is not used to benefit us it is quiet disturbing. Technology can help improve one’s way of life, but it should not be your way of life nor control your life. In The Veldt by Ray Bradbury technology ruins family life by starting to eradicate verbal communication, family bonding, and parental responsibility.

Notwithstanding the multitude of ways technology has advanced our world, its toxicity must be comprehended in order to prevent technological gluttony and with it, the poisoning of our society. It is imperative for you to preserve your sense of individuality regardless of the pressures to conform, as so long as your identity remains intact, so does your humanity. Technology is not a mask, nor a weapon, nor a replacement for human beings. Technology is just another aspect of your life, not its foundation, and in order to maintain this balance you must avoid detachment from the other aspects—the ones that truly matter. Go outside.

Throughout the 21st and 22nd century, technology was an integral part of humanity’s functioning as a species. It had guided us, shaped us, and created pathways for us in life that would’ve otherwise ceased to exist. The newest innovations are touted as the “latest and greatest” but as we innovated, we also became increasingly interdependent; we intertwined our lives with our tech, and became more reliant on it in the process. When humanity had fully automated their lives, the very electronics that supported their day-to-day routines also posed a hidden risk. In the right possession it was a wonderful tool, but when it fell into the wrong hands it was easily manipulated into a deadly weapon.

Living in a society that uses so much technology and Internet on a daily basis, is the only type of society I will ever know. When I ask my grandparents about their teenage years and early twenties, they say that times were so much simpler. When people wanted to read, they physically had to go to the library and get the book. They couldn’t just buy it on their kindle and have it at their fingertips in 30 seconds. Back then you couldn’t just Google something you didn’t understand while you were reading, you had to use your brain and figure it out. Mortimer Alder in How to Read a Book, makes an point that media is making it seem unnecessary to think. If one does not think or use their own abilities, how will they ever reach their full potential?

In today's society there is no escape from technology. We are completely submerged in our iPhone, ipads, computers, and gaming systems. These gadgets give us the opportunity to be connected to each other and the rest of the world at all times. But, this is not a glorious step in history. Technology blinds us from the real world. As John Tudor said, “Technology makes it possible for people to gain control over everything, except technology.” We may run our lives with the help of our iPhones and computers, but do these forms of technology in turn control us? At first glance these new advances are greater steps to making our lives easier. But, when examined closely a large portion of technology is the cause of many problems in our society.

With the advancement of technology occurring at a rapid rate, it is impossible to avoid the side effects of this revolution. Despite this, we are inclined to overlook the damaging consequences of it. Most of us have been raised to depend on technology and our relationship with these inanimate objects impacts us every day in ways we cannot comprehend. To put it simply, our digital devices are detrimental to our overall health.

By obliviously living through a tech-infested life, wonderful and also heartbreaking perspectives we envision as human beings are now being generated from the simple touch of an inanimate screen; the emotions that seem to so easily captivate our minds are now being produced from the simultaneous clicks of buttons. In disregard to the astounding truth, a fairly large portion of the world's population sees the rapidly increasing fascination with technology as a positive aid to how we, as humans, live out our lives. While at the exposition of this technological revolution, many adamantly recognize these devices to be friends as opposed to foes. However, what several people neglect to consider is stated in the following truth: technology is bound

Technology is used on a daily basis to accomplish specific tasks or interests. Modern technology increases human capabilities and this technology has evolved with years. Technology simplifies life in so many ways and everyone defines technology in their own way. They’re new types of technology on the market, this technology simplifies our daily lives. They’re endless demands as consumers of technology, people use technology to accomplish simple tasks every day. Technology’s used in business, education, communication, healthcare, entertainment and so much more. There’s an unquestionable impact of technology on society. Whether considering the plow, vaccinations, or the internet, technology has had a huge impact on society. While not every advance benefits society, there’s many positive effects of technology. Modern technology makes life more convenient now more than ever. Modern technologies like broadband internet makes it possible to access relevant information at any time anywhere. Today’s technology makes it simple for students to learn from anywhere through online education and mobile education, which improves the education system. It also improves the health system, most hospitals have implemented modern technology in surgical rooms, which may reduce the number of mistakes made by doctors. Modern technology’s more convenient than when it was simpler because, it provides an easy way to access information, improves the education system, and it improves the health system.

Technology has affected our lives for the worst. It has created a multitude of problems that have yet to be resolved. These problems include a loss of identity, antisocial behavior, and a misrepresentation of experiencing life. Technology takes us away from being active participants in our individual lives and places us in a virtual and unrealistic world. Those in contact with technology, which is essentially everyone, are unaware of the deeper influence that technology has upon them. Individuals should be aware of the fact that technology has a significant impact on their lives. We have become desensitized by technology to the point that we do not see that it has affected our lives in such a negative way. Technology brings more problems than

Technology has rapidly progressed and has become a big part of everyday life. From cell phones to self-driving cars, technology is relied on every minute of everyday. People are starting to depend on technology so much that soon, they will not be able to do anything themselves. Instead of doing basic things people are texting instead of talking. Selfies instead of socializing. Screens instead of success. Some may say that technology makes life more easier and makes the world a better place, but others disagree. People are too reliant on technology because it causes people to not live in the moment, it causes people to not interact face to face, and it causes loss of basic motor skills.

Technology surrounds us. Like water in the ocean, people are swimming in technology each and every day. From the radio playing a favorite song to a text received about the results of a game, people use technology constantly. However, there is a point at which people are overtaken by technology; when the wave engulfs us and there is no way out. People are becoming more and more dependent on technology. Ever since technology began heavily integrating itself into society, many major uses have developed, but at a cost that brings on dangerous side effects, both mental and physical, as shown by the potential Y2K bug, that will continue unless active measures are sought out by those so dependent on technology.

Since the beginning of time, the human population has strived to live simpler lives. We have spent generations, creating innovations within technology to ensure our lives would always be more simplistic than those who lived centuries before us. People now have the ability to update their Facebook status’, map the human genome to target strands of DNA that can be disastrous to one’s health, send out amber alerts nationwide, and create plants that are resistant to pesticides. Many fields, such as medicine, law enforcement, and entertainment have benefited greatly from advancements in technology which has inevitably changed the way society operates. However, with the abundance of technology available, society has developed an unhealthy relationship where we now rely on technology too heavily. Technology has rendered our minds incapable of the ability to play, communicate, and live our lives in the moment, despite its positive additions to our society.
