Technology is part of almost every move we make today. People are constantly texting, surfing the web, and even simply talking on the phone. These innovations of the internet are nothing but good, but the way that we make use of this is not always in our best interest. We can use many different search engines in order to utilize our search and all of our results. We can ask questions on public sites and get feedback from other individuals with the same interests. We can find the weather and any other data and news with just a click, it is absolutely amazing. There is however a major downfall to the way we use this development, social networks. These can be amazing tools and they can also be really harmful to us. We can use these for accessing people who we might otherwise never talk to, or to relay information back and forth with other classmates and co workers. It is great until we obsess over it and are eventually addicted to the sites. It is an awful way to waste time and be much less productive than we would be without it.
Another complaint I hear mostly from my grandparents is how much time we spend texting rather than partaking in one on one socializing. I think it is very important that we put down our phones every once in awhile. I have fallen victim to this epidemic in the past, but now I don't rely on it near as much. I think speaking to a person is completely unavoidable and most important for people to partake in.
Technology and be helpful or harmful depending on how an individual makes use of the product.
I completely agree that technology itself is good, but that people can use it in the wrong way.
