Technology

One thing that is present in almost everyone’s life is technology. Almost every minute of your life you are being affected by technology. When you are being affected by technology though it can either be for the good or for the bad. After figuring this all out, you should think about how our life would be without technology.

Every second of your life, you are bound to be near technology. For example, if you are reading this, then you have some technology right in front of your face. If you are reading a printed version of this, then the lights on top of you are on; also you had to print it to be able to read it. I believe that I can say with confidence that currently most people in North America can’t live without technology. Everyone in North America has lived his or her whole life with technology; it has become a necessity. On the other hand, some people believe it has become a problem for our society.


One aspect of technology is that it can take over your entire life. Instead of being out there exercising, you are playing with video games. Instead of travelling, you are watching the National Geographic Channel. Instead of playing tennis, you are pretending that you are playing tennis in your room in front of the TV screen with a Wii controller in your hand.

Continuing from the last paragraph lets go at it from a different angle. What would our life be without technology? No computers, no TV, no video games, everything would have to be done by hand. I would have had to write this whole post by hand. Coming from that idea, think about the famous books in the world. Only one person in the entire world (1/7000000000 approximately) would be able to read it. It is also important to think that how technology has improved every aspect of your life. From communication to medicine, from art to engineering, from convenience to security and so on and on.

In conclusion, I can say that just like everything else if technology is used in a proper way and in a balanced way, it will become your servant. Otherwise there is the danger that the technology could become your master taking over every aspect of your. I also want you to think about millions of people who have been killed because of war technology and millions more that have been saved by the everyday technological advances in medicine. Do you see the dual role of technology?
