While technology is a great thing, it can have many negative
impacts. Technology can speed up the world but also slow it down. Being able to
look up an answer to a question in the blink of an eye is impressive. But the
distractions are not- technology has its ups and downs, one of those downs
being the ability to focus.
Technology can both promote and discourage social
interaction and contact. It is a good way for those far away to keep in touch
with friends and family but it is not good for those nearby. Today, many people
think of it this way: why spend the time getting somewhere to meet with someone
when you can just pick up the phone? Maybe those extra minutes are beneficial,
we as humans need social interaction and we have a desire to connect. Reading
words off a screen is not going to cut it. Technology is taking over and we are
forgetting who we are and how to connect with one another.
