For instance, having access technology almost 24/7 allows us to learn a lot more electronic and digital skills such as programing and virtual design. As well, it has enabled us to find ways to greatly benefit peoples lives through medical means, such as medicine research, cancer treatment, and robotic limbs. It also has become a source of connection for people living in different countries. Many peoples lives have changed by meeting unknown relatives, life long friends, and significant others through technology. However, having so much technology making our lives easier causes us to become increasingly dependent on it. People are so used to having common tasks done with a click of a button, that we forget how to live normally, performing our own actions by ourselves. A major example of this is communication; with apps like Facebook, Instagram, and twitter, we are able to connect and talk to hundreds of people without even saying one word out loud. We have become so addicted to online presence that we forget how to talk to friends in real life. Another negative effect of technology in our society is that we have become more prone to online hackers and predators. These hackers are able to take our personal information and steal identities, corrupt businesses, and invade…
Today's world is full of pieces of technology that we take for granted, the microchip has truly revolutionised the way in which we live and do business. The world we see would not be recognisable to people of a few generations ago and nowhere is this truism greater than in the world of computing. Hence it is important to stay up to date with technology news; while many may think that this type of news is purely for geeks it is clear that all of us should have at least a passing interest in news of technological developments.…

The question of whether modern technological development has been beneficial or detrimental to human beings is perhaps the most asked question that faces our society. If technology is harmful, then we need to minimize or eliminate the danger. If technology is not the source of the problems and concerns that are frequently attributed to it, then we need to find another cause for the social and psychological pressures faced by our society, so we can fix these problems.

Oh, technology, technology, wherefore art thou technology. There is internet and cell phones, Google and Facebook galore; almost no one uses their head anymore, we have become too dependent on the technology that lives and grows around us. You almost can’t go anywhere anymore and not see someone without their phone, it has even invaded churches with the bible app. When I think of a question, I don’t go to the library to try to figure it out; I whip out my phone and “Google” my question or someone else who is with me “Google’s” the question. And just think, it will only get worse, not better; everyone craves technology, when something new comes out it’s like the old thing is dead and almost never was. I think one day, everyone should just turn off their laptops, Wi-Fi, iPhones, TVs, etc. It would be interesting to see how everyone would be freaking out. People would have to hand write research papers and go to the library for the information. No one could listen to their music. The technology is getting more advanced and soon we won’t have to do anything like in Wall-E.…
