Declaration of Independence
Stecy Mbemba
Preamble:
I, Stecy Mbemba, declare my independence from technology for all concerened persons to read. Technology should be a source to make like easier for me, instead it is destroying my life. I’m afraid of ruining my life because of the “little” mistakes I make now.
Philosophical Foundation:
My addiction to technology has caused me to miss out on wonderful oppertunitites, and will have an impact on my future. In hopes of being sucssesful in life, I must remove unuseful technology from my life before it does greater damage.
Grievances:
* As an active human, I should be allowed at least 8 hours of sleep per day. The technology has deprived me of that right. * I haven’t been able to begin my homework on time because I spend too much time browsing the internet or watching television. * Technology has made me a lot lazier. It has now given me an excuse as to why I can sit for the majority of my day. * I have shown that I don’t care about my future by spending most of my studying time texting, watching television etc. * Technology has also certainly ruined my use of proper grammer. * Technology has also ruined my imagination. I can no longer picture something that doesn’t that doesn’t exsist in my mind. I can no longer build thing out of blocks. Everything is now done virtually.
Because of this addiction to technology I have been tired, and have preformed poorly during class disscusions.
Explaining my Actions:
I have been spending this much using technology because I was too dumb to realize that I have a future ahead of me. My brain wasn’t able to choose between my friends and myself. In the past I have tried deactivating my various social media accounts

    Anyone living today knows the effects technology has had on society today, not to mention how it’s changed our generation entirely. Our generation can hardly remember a time when technology didn’t exist. It’s become a part of our lifestyle, and isn’t going anywhere soon. “The evolution of technology has reached a point where pretty much anything is available at the touch of a button. Shopping, learning, working and entertainment can all be accessed from the comfort of our own homes, on a train or sat in a cafe,” (The Guardian).…

    In The Declaration of Sentiments Elizabeth Cady Stanton uses induction and deduction in order to make her argument effective. Both of these argumentative techniques are used to support her argument that women should be granted all the rights and privileges men have. Stanton satirizes the Declaration of Independence highlighting the holes in Jefferson’s document. Through the use of induction and deduction Stanton makes a valid point on how men create an absolute tyranny over women.…

One symptom is a compulsion to use your smart phone or any other form of technology during exciting and/or rare life events such as parties and vacations. If you feel like you need to pull out your phone when being lectured at is also an indication. Another sign of addiction is loss of time, if a few minutes of surfing the web turn into a few hours or if you get mad or irritated when you’re using your device and are interrupted then you might be showing signs you are addicted.

    Media Deprivation Report

    • 294 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I just found out that I am addicted to the Internet and cell phone since I finished the media deprivation challenge. I did not use cell phone, TV, and Internet for a day. No TV is ok with me because I don’t watch TV a lot, but no cell phone and no internet was giving me a hard time. I started the challenge on Sunday, right after I finished all my homework and my exam, because those things really need the Internet to be done. At first I felt kind of weird because I used to connect with my friend by phone or Facebook. For example, I wanted to ask some of my friends to go out to eat, then I had to drive to their houses, knock their doors to ask them out for dinner. It would be much faster if I could use my phone. However, it was fun that I had a chance to see how my friends’ life are going on. We were not used to come home each other for a long time, calling each other to make appointment were all we did.…

    I find that being a teenager living in a first world country in the 21st century, it is nearly impossible to not be reliant on technology. Our whole life is ran by computers from our ride to school all the way to what makes our coffee in the morning. I find that even if I don't want to, I will never not be reliant on technology. Each and every morning I wake up and turn off my alarm which means the very first thing I do in the morning is use technology, all the way until the last thing I do at night which would either be turning off my lamp from reading a book or finishing an episode on netflix, technology is the first thing I use from when I close my eyes until I open them.…

Are you making life and death decisions at the computer. “Should I buy new iTunes or have gas for the rest of the week?” This is a growing problem.

    When most people think of addiction, they think of crack heads and alcoholics. Although those are the most common types of addiction, there are also more unusual things. Addiction is a psychological and bodily dependence on a substance or practice which is beyond voluntary control. In a sense, every person has a form of addiction. Weather to caffeine, or food, or cleaning, they are all small kinds of addiction. One addiction that is spreading faster everyday and is gaining a lot of attention is media screen addiction. With technology in today’s day and age, communication and work can be done virtually anywhere in the world. With access to people at all times through the use of media screens it creates a serious problem. A media screen addict can be described as a person who is always on the phone, every minute of every day, and who cannot live their life without the use of their cell phone. They must always be up to date with every news story, decision, or shift their company formulates. When someone becomes so attached to their media screens they rule their lives. When a media screen addict is forced to go without their screens for more than a few hours they will begin to suffer from “withdrawal” like symptoms, as they feel they are being cut off from the world, and everyone they must be in contact with.…
