Us as humans continually turn back to computers and technology to assist us with our informational demands of the current modernized lifestyle we all are living today. Technology and computers essentially provides us with an outlet for research and information that gives us a chance to delve deeper into topics for additional information. As computers and modern advances in technology becomes increasingly intertwined within our daily lifestyles, the question we must ask ourselves is, what are the negative impacts of our increased dependence of computers? Are computers affecting our intelligence as a society? We consistently resort back to the computer and technology for every problem that we may encounter which makes our brains and thought process able to relax and rely heavily on computers. Although computers at times can be very helpful and convenient for us, it allows society to decrease our ability to analyze topics, deliberate, and think critically. There are also many social media websites that have a huge negative impact and bad influences towards all age groups, especially targeting the younger users. As computers and technology continues to become more connected within our daily lifestyles, it is negatively shaping our way of processing and interpreting information. Essentially, the way we are currently using computers and technology is reducing our abilities and desires to think, be inquisitive, comprehend, and to retain information. So although the use of computers and modern advances of technology has rapidly increased, it has had a negative impact towards the current society and the generations to come. Today’s society has become so reliant on technology and computer use that we now lack personnel interaction and simple thought process.
