Technology’s a man’s best friend
March 4, 2015
Addiction. This word is usually used when we talk about drugs, alcohol, and now technology. The addiction to technology starts as any other addiction, except that technology is at every turn. Technology addiction can be summed in two types: Social Media addiction and Internet addiction. Although these may seem to be the same, they’re not.
Social Media addiction tends to draw teens to Twitter, Instagram, and other apps on Smartphones. While Social Media drags teens in, Internet addiction drags everyone else that uses browsers for weather forecasts and reports on News websites. Technology has tied itself to everything, even classrooms. Today, more teachers are using projectors, and computers to teach rather than writing on the chalkboards. The temptation to technology is a great addiction because technology makes it easier to stay tuned to what is going on in the world today.
Although it helps people stay tuned into social and worldwide news, it can also be dangerous because some sites and information can be inconclusive. Technology should be used, but not as much as it has been during the 21st century.
Technology has grown massively, and it’s not slowing down any time soon due to the fact that people depend on it so much.
