Technology Is Eroding All Of Humanity

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.

‘iPad’ was an instant hit selling over 3 million units in just 80 days. The

The more advanced technology becomes, the more of a toll it has on our daily lives. Lee Siegel states that “we shop, work, play, love, search for information, seek to communicate with each other and sometimes with the world online. We spend more time online than ever before. Yet people are not arguing about this startling new condition." It is my belief that due to the control technology has taken over society, technology is ultimately detrimental to society as a whole.

Technology is always improving. But with improvement brings problems we have to face. This Problem affects our entire society today. Technology is taking over our lives by lessoning human Interaction, Ruining our health, and blocking out our surroundings.

Although society has been spoiled in many ways by technology,some may argue an apposing position. Technology comes with many conveniences, but there are also many shortcomings with it. In many ways it could actually be ruining society. The main question is when does the line become crossed between using technology as a convenience and abusing it to the point that it hinders society. The following argument will point it out.

Technology is an essential part of our life. The use of technology can be seen in almost every aspect of our daily routines. Despite some people’s belief that technology is progressively destroying humanity, it is evident that technology’s advancements have greatly benefited humankind due to its contributions to improving education, health, and communication.

Everyone wants to stay connected in each others lives by never missing a beat. More like never missing a text message in this day and age. Life is constantly finding its way to become full of responsibilities with little time to take a break as it is. Texting my family and friends is easier to respond to when I 'm taking care of my daughter and studying for school. Even a phone call seems better so I can multitask, cleaning the house or driving while talking on the phone. Communication is an essential key and important human need. By using technology, there is a deeper connection to communicating than some acknowledge.

It is obviously undeniable that technology has its benefits; no one is arguing against that. Technology helps us connect with people we would have otherwise ever connected with, it makes obtaining information easily accessible. However, too much use of technology takes away from socializing with people face to face. It’s like we are almost losing touch with the real world, instead of face to face communication, people can be in the same room conversing through text.

Technology is definitely worsening society in a multitude of ways. There have been different researches conducted that have come back with results that support this, such as the pew internet survey. People tend to spend more time on social media then they do with real people. Technology has made people expect things to come quick, making them have a small attention span. Before technology people would simply talk to people and spent time with them.

Technology has become something that people today cannot seem to survive without. Our society relies on technology to do everything for us. Technology has its advantages and can be very helpful to people in their everyday life, but it also has its fair share of disadvantages. Due to the advance in technology, people in our society today are being faced with potentially harmful problems such as developmental issues in children as they age, people are beginning to lack social skills, and children’s everyday behavior is worsening.

Technology and humans have been coexisting since relatively short time; however, their contact sparked constant discussions, theories, and philosophical thoughts as a major social issue. Will it ruin us or will we ruin ourselves due to its influence? These two questions and topics appear frequently, assuming that technology will undoubtedly cause some potential harm.

Teacher: Why are you on your phone Jimmy? Jimmy: I’m sorry Mrs. A I’ll put it away right now. Teacher: No, I have continuously asked you to please put your phone away. Give me your phone! Jimmy: Mrs. A please I promise it wont happen again. Teacher: No more texting or playing games you will get your phone back at the end of the day. Technology isn’t helping our society like it said it would in fact it’s hurting it. There is a long list of cons for technology like phones, tablets, and laptops/computers. For example, phones create a distraction and a barrier that prevents them from interacting with the world. Modern technology is just horrible for the adults and children around the world.

Technology today, has allowed us to connect with people with ease, and has made many tasks so much easier. From desktops to IPhones, the world we live in today allows us to communicate with anybody with wireless access with just a couple clicks of a mouse. As civilization has evolved so has technology, from letters to phone calls to email, basic communication methods have consistently progressed into the complex system we have today. As we become more dependent on technological communication, such improvements will continue to be made.

In today’s society, modern technology is evidently developing rapidly and it is portrayed as a negative impact. It can be seen that technology is a substitution of all characteristics of life. The purpose of every technological invention is to benefit the lives of mankind; thus re-enforcing the positive connotation of technology. However, in long term it may not be beneficial; such as, education, work and leisure are all becoming dependent on technology; cyberspace is dangerous and child obesity is increasing.

Technology allows humans to interact freely on a global scale. Communication is now a hundred times faster than it was twenty years ago. Technology has reached to the point where instant messaging is an everyday fact of life. Technology made it easier to meet new people and keep in touch with friends and families. We can now tweet, blog, Skype, and chat with persons from all over the globe. No longer do we have to wait days before our family in the US sends their greetings. With just a cell phone and internet connection, you can send a message in just seconds to any part of the globe.
