How Technology Affects Us.
Most people say that technology has positive effects on everyone because it helps everyone with homework and other resources like for example using Google. But there are a lot of negative effects like poor grades and addiction because of wasted time on the computer. Also we are relying on the internet to find our work and we are not learning anything. Over the years technology could have more positive effects but for now negative effects are outnumbering the positive effects.

But youth can’t imagine their life without video games. When the T.V came out people didn’t know what they would do with it and now people can’t even live without it.
