Is Technology More Harmful Than It Seems?

Good or Bad (Part 1)

  
   
    Have you ever done homework Sunday night rushing to finish 20 math problems or tried to type up an essay all while watching TV, checking your Facebook page, texting your friend, and watching YouTube? Out of the question, though, technology is very useful. With Facebook you could stay in touch with friends that are oceans and 100's of miles away and texting is also a second use for that. YouTube makes learning easier by just searching up educational videos. We can't forget Google either. With this search engine you can find the capital of Rome in 3 seconds flat.

Good or Bad (Part 2)

     As you know There is a bad side to technology ,even though you might be trying to say no because you support it. Some people don't care about work. They say they will use their device for working purposes yet to find out that they have never done anything school related on it besides texting students from class. Have they ever even went outside to talk face to face or play some football together. Pick your side. What do you think?

• Good   X Bad

     As you know technology has many abilities, including educational ones. Where do you think people get the information for projects and reports from? Besides books it's most probably going to be from electronics. In addition, (as I had said before)they allow you to stay in touch with others, you could see educational videos that can teach you new things, and you could find useful info in three seconds flat. All this with a simple (not actually simple for some people) device making life easier and in some cases more fun.

   

• Bad     X Good

     Did you know the average American teenager owns three to four technological devices. Many experts think these are just distractions not helping students learn anything. Think about it. Have you ever used your phone for an emergency or just to text your friends. Plus, all that time having that laptop on your lap or your phone in hand takes time away from real time relationships.
