Technology Today
By: Courtney C.
It’s a community, a teacher, an enemy… it’s technology. Over the years, technology has grown rapidly not only to improve our findings of history, or to help a teacher teach the class, it also has its mental disadvantages to humankind. It can break a family apart or break long time friendships. Technology does it all without us even knowing what it is doing to our society.
Technology is addictive. A lot of people today forget that we have reality. People forgot about their family in that moment with the screen. It’s a tool, but also a weapon against our brain. Technology has thrown some of the old ways out the window, like bumping into people and make friends. Yes, that still happens, but not as much as it used to before technology came along.
Advantages of Technology
- Improved Our Military
- Helped Students find a better school for they can improve themselves
- Improved Our Machinery
- Easier ways to pay people, to do work from home
- It helped people stay in their comfort zone
Disadvantages of Technology
- It breaks families apart
- It breaks friendships apart
- Some people could not really have social skills
- It’s way too addictive
Technology has a purpose here to improve our daily lives, but we never asked ourselves what are the disadvantages because the advantages look too amazing to overcome. There are disadvantages in every situation not just in technology. We can use it, but we can’t fight it, can we?
