I believe technology has made the world a better, but some of the effects have resulted in several consequences. People have a longer life span, but we are wasting more time doing useless things like watching television. There are many pros of technology. Technology helped us invent cars, Televisions, air conditioners, etc. One really valuable asset is our dear computers. Without technology, we wouldn't have been able to have these things, but some cons of technology could be maybe having a video game that is non-educational that teaches you nothing and does nothing to make people better. In sports, equipment has become safer and has reduced injuries. A little thing like the mouth guard has reduced concussions which have ended up saving peoples brains. Innovative discoveries in health care have athletes staying healthy and recovering from injuries faster than ever. In the classroom, computers allow students to learn through exploring the internet and doing research. Looking up information and researching papers with this resource can keep students more interest in a project and learning more than they would with a textbook. New technology can make students have a low attention span which makes them become more interested in their phone than what is going on in class. This is not always possible though because the newest and best technology is often very expensive and schools cannot always afford to get new computers every couple years. Many new jobs are created from new technology being in high demand from consumers. This has helped the people who have created the technology a lot, but many of these things are too expensive too be made in the US so it has to be made in China which creates unemployment in America. Consumers in the US are still willing to buy cars, computers, and other technology made in China because of the low prices. So in ways technology is part of the reason the economy is poor

    In the article In Defense of Technology wrote by the author Andrew O’Hagan believes the opposite. That technology has actually made a huge improvement in our lives. He argues that life would be much difficult without its use. We depend on technology at many times because it does many beneficial things for us and not even mentioning time saving. It benefits us in great ways like collecting information, socializing and much more, but we mostly we use it to save time. Tech has never been harmful to any human at any point in time O’Hagan quotes, “Technology is not doing what the sci-fi writers warned it might; it’s not turning us into digits or people that hate community, instead of the opposite.” It is helping our communities in ways like recycling, entertainment, safety and much more. When an individual can sit in their house relaxed and putting in an order on the internet that’s going to arrive at their house the next day, compared to the old days it’s a miracle how it improved this much. Killing loneliness and provincialism is something you can do…

Ray Bradbury wrote science fiction text because he might know what was going to happen in the future. “ There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury, is about an electrical advanced house because their is a clock going on every 5 minutes.

    Technology has shaped and defined human activity and it has made life easier but more dangerous. As Langdon Winner explains in his piece, Technological Somnambulism, technology is a neutral tool. It can be used in a positive or a negative way. As well, Modern technology can be dangerous in many different ways. As more technology becomes available to the public, more people rely on it. This could be a problem; for example when many people want to figure something out, they will probably just type the question into Google. Technology allows us to think less about certain things, which may be easier but it “dumbs us down”. This could be considered dangerous because we may rely on technology too much and we could become lazy with our everyday rituals. With that said, technology has also helped us improve medicine and science to help cure certain diseases. Without these improvements we wouldn’t be as strong as a community. There seems to always be positive and negative things that come with technology.…

    Technology has been humans help since the beginning of time. We rely on technology to do the hardest and the simplest things for us. In the film “Idiocracy” the people in that city was so consumed by technology they allowed their city to become a disgusting waste land full of trash. They have become fat, lazy people that just sits on the couch and watch violent television shows all day long. But the question is “Is technology good or bad for the American people?” I would not say that technology is either good or bad for the people because it does prove good advances in the medical world. But they do have their downs as well.…

    The future of technology is unknown for now. Many have talked about the subject matter. Technology might be leading us to a world of pure happiness and a place we all fantasized about when we were young or is it leading us down the wrong road with no return where we lose ourselves in the process. The great power it has over one can be truly reflected by the way they interact with others and how we rely on the computer for the answers. However, can we truly say its hurting us as a society? As we find new ways to improve our existence on earth, it slowly creates a world at peace where we can finally learn and improve our mentally. Technology a great and powerful tool can rise chaos within a civilization but can also generalizes us the greater species with wonders to contribute to the world we live in.…

    Technology Is Distracting

    Everyone has reasons why technology is distracting. While I understand why some people presume technology is a distraction, but, for me, it is not a distraction, yet a way to booster one’s knowledge for educational purposes. Technology could help me learn more, make an important calls if necessary, and help with research. First, technology helps me to sharpen my vocabulary when I am writing essays and research papers, making them sound more mature. For instance, when I had written my final essay for ENC 0025 class, I could not find an appropriate word to replace “be” while I was writing, so my iPhone came in handy, searching for replacements and found that “be” could shift into “become.” As a result, I received a five out of six for my…

    Even though today’s technology makes our lives easier, technology also has its downfalls. Humans are much lazier than they have ever been, and there are more lost jobs because computers are taking over and doing work for us. For example, the other day my friend just lost her job doing customer service because the computer operators are now doing the customer service. People have become more dependent on cell phones to keep in touch with everybody, and television, for some people, is a disgusting way to be entertained (especially with the reality shows we sometimes tend to live off of). On the other hand some people argue that we can not live without technology, which in some cases is true. If we didn’t have cars it would be hard to get to work, or if there was no television we might not know important news that might actually save us some day. Although technology has its benefits, people have become too dependent on it.…

    Some would say the world has changed for the better because of the technological advances. But our lives are more complicated because these possessions take up our time and choke our spirituality. It makes us miss the simple things in life; like having face-to-face conversations and enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. Technology has changed the way we do everything now; track money, do business and so much more. It has become a huge aspect of our social lives. You see the workforce having to work from home, which is changing the way we live. It brought education to those that don't have the proper schooling as well.…

    While technology has made our lives easier, it’s arguable that it has not made our lives better. Technology has also caused negative effects such as cyber bullying, driving while texting, how we interact with those around us, and the increase of pollution to our environment. If technology was making our lives better then we would not have all these problems that technology has caused. I believe if we keep letting technology destroy us and the things around us then it will not have made our lives better, but worse instead.…

    From the supporters’ point of view, technology improves our quality of life. Some of the most important discoveries we have done would not have been possible without the usage of technology. Things like the internet have definitely changed the perspective we had of distances. Now we can just connect to the World Wide Web and communicate with people who are miles away from us, all this in real time, or if you prefer, we could just take a plane and fly overseas to visit them. This is only one of the many examples we could give to prove the fact that technology is a blessing and that our life would not be the same without it.…
