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.

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.

Technology isn’t hurting us as it is perceived to be. It seems like there is a lot of controversy between having limitations or not having them for technology. I believe teenagers should have some limitations decided by the family but not have everything taken away from them, because technology is unique and helpful. Technology increases the connection between people, it allows you to express yourself in many way and finally it doesn’t limit your intelligence. Although being connected all the time would possibly make you more isolated or make you feel more isolated it’s fantastic to know you have a chance to not be alone, to be connected even when you’re far away.

76% of teens use social media of these 71% use Facebook, 52% use Instagram, and 41% use snap-chat. This is about teens who are always on social media and not getting off their phone, and who do not make true friends offline. We should not not be on social media all the time because it could ruin your friendships.

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

Through technology, you can communicate to other humans across the world. Right now, if I wanted to, I could call or write to a pen pal in the Arctic or wherever I want. If I buy a new computer from Amazon and it doesn’t work, I could call an associate and he would be at my house it an hour or two. He could even video chat with me and tell me how I can fix it. Also, if I wanted to purchase something on amazon-or any other online goods store- I could just negotiate a price and it would be mine. It's just another amazing part

Using electronic communication comes along with many effects. One of the big effects it causes is kids become less social and they keep to themselves. The more media means the less happy they become and the more likely they are to get in trouble. Using media does more harm to yourself than anybody. Antisocial behaviors build up and people become more self-centered. “It is like they don’t want to talk to people” (Gormly 2). It shows that they are lazy, rude, and impersonal. Not wanting to talk to others ruins family relationships and social lives. Many say “it feels like their lives are continually

Today’s technology has greatly impacted the young children’s everyday lives. Phones, tablets, and computers are all a form of technology that impact the way kids are influenced. Some children get phones or computers at young ages and it can cause kids to depend on it to entertain them. Eventually they will allow the technology to take over and have it become the form of communication between friend and family instead of face to face. As parents continue to buy their children new technology they don’t monitor the amount of time their children spend on the Internet. Technology is becoming more advanced overtime which causes children to become more attached and unable to function without it near by.

I understand that technology doesn 't always impact our social norms negatively, but in general it leans towards being more negative overall. Technology can even positively affect our social norms, sometimes with social media like Skype, Facebook or Snapchat. I disagree with that side of that argument though, technology most definitely affects our social norms instead. Technology can have crippling effects on our first hand in person face to face confrontations. Technology pulls us away from not only our friends, but also from family, turning dinner into lets all stare at our phone time. Not only that, but technology breaks down both our speaking and writing skills. If we keep letting tech dominate our lives, it

People can use there technology when they have nothing to do but it just keeps you away from friend and family. Technology can really be helpful for when you are lost and don't know where you are at you can use technology to communicate to get to the place you need to be at.

Technology is a way that all six billion people in the world can communicate with each other. We can follow people from all over the world on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and many more social media sites. Technology gives us ways to communicate with celebrities, your child that you recently sent off to college or the world, and your friends and family who live in different states than you. Technology in video games allows us to play in multiplayer mode with our friends, while being at our own houses. New advantages with technology is that we can text, call, and use the internet all on one device. Also, technology plays a great role in the medical field. I do not think technology isolates us from society, I think that technology connects us with one another in a unique way.

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.
