Technology in our Lives

Technology, as we all know, has affected our lives and I’m here to explain how.

First, we can communicate with our loved ones easily with the help of technology. Do you have a family member who is out of the country? You communicate with them through video calls, e-mails and more. These are all examples of technology. Without them, you can’t talk to your loved-ones.

Second, we get easy access to information. Did you ever have a homework you can’t answer? You used the internet to know the answer, right? Wikipedia is an example of it. Information is very important because it teaches you new things. When you read an article in Wikipedia, you also learned from it and its fast and easy to get the information you’re looking for.

Third, there is less traffic. Sometimes, we shop online and they would usually deliver it. That means we don’t have to go to pick our things up and add up to the traffic. They would also store it in a truck which means one car, more things.

Fourth, we get to socialize with more people. We also get to tell everyone our experiences and try to be friends with them. We just have to be careful with the the things we post.

Not all things have a good side. Technology has a negative side too. Let me tell you about it.

First, we spend too much time for technology. This is bad because we forget about what’s around us. Look what’s around you for a moment. You’re not exploring the “outside” world. You’re just sitting there in your room, watching Netflix. We also need to care for the environment around us.

Second, we become lazier. We depend on technology, we don’t care about ourselves. We think that technology will do everything for us. That’s not correct. Technology is there to guide us. Not to replace us and just let them control our lives.
