Technology Are Taking Over What People Use to Do
Technology has made the lives of users easier with its Constance advances that are developing the society. Technology can be a reliable source which also has the ability to easily be a distraction. Technology has created the IPhone, iPad, Galaxy, Samsung and these distractions are helpful but can be very dangerous. People are expose to a great amount of technology on consistent base. Technology has control lives, social and decision skills. The contribution of technology hinder the current generation as a whole in today’s world. Because technology have an impact on the lives of people, this trend has had a negative effect on society, the growth of intelligence and how we conduct business.
Social media has offered the world a huge contribution in how cellphones gain a negative effects on society because it effects people communication skills. Cellphones have invented new apps such as: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter etc., that influence people to become more comfortable with texting friends and family rather than indulging a face to face conversation. In the article, “Teens spend a 'mind-boggling' 9 hours a day using media, report says” by Kelly Wallace published in the CNN that proves that teens check social media 100 times and “spend on average 9 hours a day consuming media” (CNN, 2015). Social media has provoke to form a consistent habit as people get older. Using Kelly Wallace as a source, social media can be justified to be distraction towards the world. People cannot educate themselves or prioritize their work ethics if they are checking their social media multiple times a day. The more time people are using social media as a tool to communicate with others, is the less time they able are to spend with their peers. Technology is transforming children and the way people, altogether are communicating effectively.
Although, technology has a side that to enhance an easier lifestyle, it still holds negative blame for the change in the way of teaching and consuming information. The creation of eBook is to “profound change in the way education is approach” (Mulan, N.d).However, our, and upcoming generation now will not have the same opportunities to educate themselves with information textbooks because they have easier access to information online. More energy would be put into online reading than actual reading from a psychical book. Universities and public schools are becoming more exposed to eBooks in this case, gradually it harder for students to depend more on relevant information that is associated in a textbook. EBook does not give that psychical connection of learning the same way because “Online books, or devices that facilitate their use such as the Kindle, the most popular portable electronic reader, don't provide the same sensation as reading from a paper volume”(Bye-Bye Book, N.D). Even students can decrease the process of thinking on their own because how technology having broad range of information they search the answers on a search engine. For instance in a teachers survey that talks about technology its proven that “60 percent said it hindered students ability to write and communicate face to face and almost half said its hurt critical thinking and their ability to do home”(Richtel,2012). Which shows that the ability for Students to physically learning information does not increase because of the exposure of technology.
In the same token, technology has changed the way people conduct business. In most cases internet gave people the option to get things delivered to their door steps. People personal information is more accessible over the internet. As the business world continuously adapt and adjust to the new technology advancements it shapes business and more bank apps now allowed people to transfer money or cash a check in different accounts without the assistance of a bank teller at a nearby bank. People are losing the value of conducting business because technology has made thing easily accessible. People are generated to rely on communication devices and computers to organize their data bases, personal files and other essential information. The internet has wide wage of sources so with expanding the work ethics it is significantly reduce.
This trend has grasp in a major way because the amount of time people spend their lives on their computers or cellular devices. As technology advance the society does not put forth into stimulating their ability because of the lack independency. Technology is an essential tool that is intended to be an assist for public to do less. Technology affect the way people think and how we process information because people are so limited to believing on their own intelligence. The society cannot live without technology because it has become an addiction that is unbearable to defeat. Technology has separates individuals from reality. It detaches individuals from what happening in their surroundings and obstructs communication. People must learn to embrace technology without allowing it change the creation of people functioning in the society.
