Effect of Technology in Our Lives

Technology ever since the 1950’s has played a big part in our daily lives. During the 1950’s for example people had only just begun to hear about computers for the first time, in this day and age today technology has advanced so much and now we use it every day all the time in our lives to where it has become second nature to us.

In 2013 everything has advanced so much and so fast that we’ve barely noticed, we use computers and technology in general from our smartphones to our tablets etc. all the time in our daily lives. The big question is, are all of these technological advancements and technological devices really such a good thing?

Technologies in general such as our computers and smartphones aren’t necessarily bad things they gives us many different advantages in the world today. Probably one of the biggest most noticeable advantages of technology in our daily lives would be the time it saves us.

Every day we are using our devices to surf the internet or make a call send an email etc. All of those things even if we don’t notice them it is saving us lots of time. Probably one of the biggest advancements since the phone would be SMS messaging or as we know it better “Texting”, texting is practically second nature to us.

Technology has changed our lives in so many ways in this day and age for the good and for the bad; it does a lot of good for us such as saving us lots of time making everything streamlined and much more efficient. It also helps us stay in contact with far away friends and family that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to get in contact with.
Technology is neither just bad nor all good it has both its disadvantages and it has its advantages. In the end of it all it really comes down to the user, all of us and how we use it and how we treat it.

We need to instead of having to always have technology at our fingertips we need to focus on the reality of life and enjoy the moments we have instead of the ones we don’t.
