HOW TECHNOLOGY AFFECTS OUR WORLD
Today’s world is heavily reliant on all sort of technology, like
cellphones, the internet and computers, just to name of few.
Of course, these advancements are mind-blowing, but the way they shaped
society’s behavior is also worth noting.
The following is an article written by Karen Agarwal about how
technology affects our world today.
“Technology is the present world. It affects people’s daily lives.
Whether it inspires somebody to be the master at videogames or makes somebody a
computer hacker. It has changed the generation of teenagers/young adults
rapidly. It has made the generation greedier, ignorant, and lazy. For instance,
my parents did not have fancy cell phones or high-tech computers back then
because it was never created. They only had a bike and ball until it was worn
out. They never thru a fit for not getting what they wanted or sat at home,
playing videogames for numerous hours. They would ALWAYS be outside, whether
the weather was hot or cold, playing soccer or having a snowball fight with
their friends. And when they didn’t want to go outside, they sat down, read a
book, played cards, or even drank hot cocoa. Now a day, it’s all about getting
an iPod touch or a phone with a touch screen. Soon, people will have chairs
that will fly around to get a soda from the fridge so they don’t have to get
their butt up and walk. Though there seems to be more negative influence of
technology, there may still be some silver lining.
Technology is taking over our world. People don’t realize what it is doing. In the music industry for instance, when a new song comes out by a famous rock star wearing a metal jacket with no shirt on and multiple piercings, people end up coming to school dressed the same way. They would say to their parents, “It’s the new style at school,” and their parents would say, “Okay wear it but, if you get in trouble don’t blame it on me.” Parents aren’t even strict anymore. If my parents even thought about doing a style like that, their parents would kill them. It’s the same thing with a rapper, if they get grills and get gold chains around their neck, so many people would do the same EXACT thing. However, music can have a positive effect on people also. It may inspire people to do what they want the most. It may also communicate important messages to the public and can also illicit emotions and memories that we always remember every time we hear a specific song.
Technology also affects the computer world and cell phone world. Individuals can now hack into other people’s lives or cyber-bully someone. You could hurt or be hurt by people over the internet or by a simple text message”.

In a nutshell, although there are many advantage to technology, but there is
some disadvantage too. The way technology should be used is as a tool and for
helpful reasons, and technology influences every aspect of people’s lives.
