Technology has been a part of our life’s for some time now
and you can say that technology has its pros and cons. Technology gives us the
ability to access more information, if it wasn't for the internet we wouldn't
be able to access real-time updates of news stories, play games, or chat with
someone who is on the other side of the planet. The internet also allows us to
experience different perspectives, ideas, and cultures from all over the world.
Technology definitely has its pros but if you take a minute and look at the
dark side of the internet you will see a different story. On the other side of
the internet you have people who like to cyberbully and make people feel bad. People
started cyber-bullying just for their own entertainment or just to make themselves
feel better. Another con that technology has is that it creates a social
disconnect between us. We spend more time talking to one another over the
internet than actually going out and talking face to face.
Personally I believe that I have a healthy relationship with
technology because when I’m not using it I’m doing something productive with
that time and when I do use technology I only use it for classes and maybe to
watch movies or youtube videos and occasionally to play video games. Honestly
technology can make you smarter and be can also be misleading in ways like if
you are doing research if you go to the right websites you can actually learn
some useful things but then again not every website is truthful so if you click
it thinking that the information on it is correct, it could in fact be
misleading you and everything on it could be completely wrong.
We believe that technology is a key piece of our society but
really that all depends on how we use it. Like I said before some of us have
actual good uses for technology like learning new material and communicating
with other we haven’t seen in a while or just simply playing games or reading
the news. But then you have those who use technology to cyberbully people and
hack things. So really we need to be careful how we use our technology.
