Technology makes everything much easier and convenient nowadays. People love to spend their life under the delight of advance technology, and I also like technology, especially with my technological devices and social network like Facebook and Instagram. According to Pew Research Internet Project, “Between February 2005 and August 2006, the use of social networking sites among young adult internet users ages 18-29 jumped from 9% to 49%.” Technology is constantly growing as time pass, and it will continue to grow over the time. When people misuse the advantage of technology, it becomes a negative impact on people. The growth of technology has influenced the people negatively because they spend most of their time using technology, become less connected with people outside the social network, and they have wasted their precious time.
People have spent too much time using technology. Technology is so advance that people encounter it every second in their daily routine. Start off from the morning, people use cell phones or digital alarm clocks set an alarm clock to wake up in the morning to get to work or school. After they wake up, people eat breakfast from refrigerator or cook on the stove, and then the transportation they use technology such as car, bus, or train to go to work or school. These are just some examples of how people encounter in their daily life.
The growth of the technology has made people less connected with people in reality. Children these days play video games or computer games a lot; consequently, they are no longer interested in playing outdoor games. The article, “The 4 Negative Side Effects Of Technology” by Alice Martin, explained, “According to studies, tolerance in children is vanishing quite increasingly...

...technology back in the time. Living in the time when the technology is rapidly growing, people need to make sure to use to properly; otherwise, it will influence the people negatively.
I believe everything has good and bad, so it is good as long as people do not overdo it.

In today's world, technology is constantly changing from a new paperclip to an improvement in hospital machinery. Technology lets people improve the way they live so that they can preserve their own personal energy and focus on the really important factors in life. Some people focus their energy on making new innovations to improve transportation and the health of people that may save lives and some people focus on making new designs of packaging CDS. Technology is significant in everyone's life because it rapidly changes what is in the market. But, some new innovations of technology are ridiculous because they serve no purpose in helping mankind.
A single vibration or sound and people instantly have to check their phone. Some people in today’s society seem to never leave their houses without at least one device or even without a charger. People are glued to technology and often overuse to the point that many social skills are at risk. Technology is the Michael Jordan of society and technology has changed the way many people live their lives. Technology and people can not be separated and people are so dependent on technology. Technology runs the lives of many and has caused a drug like addiction in some people. Many studies will say that technology has a positive impact on society, but with positives comes negatives. The negatives technology has on society outweigh the positives. Technology

Students use their electronics as a way of communication (see figure 1). If a child is addicted to texting and communicating by their phone, they will not have the skills necessary for human interaction. They could even feel awkward talking on the cell phone to someone. On ksl.com it quoted Broadbent: “...Children have lost the ability to have meaningful face-to-face interaction with family and friends” (The Effect). Kids won’t know what to do with themselves without their phone or electronic device. This addiction can cause a fear of being without the phone as well. This is an actual phobia called Nomophobia. This can lead to the child not understanding what the outside world is really like. They are sucked into their video game so much that they don’t realize what is happening around them. Then, when the kids get thrown into the real world, they will have a false sense of accomplishment. When children are constantly feeling joy and happiness from the false sense of accomplishment they receive when playing these games, they can be searching, in real life, for this “treasure” or happiness that doesn't really exist in the end. In a video game, there is usually more than one life. Usually at least three. Then they are sent through a long and treacherous adventure to find a treasure that is not even attainable in the end. This can be dangerous because a child could make some serious decisions that have really
Technology has become such a predominate part of the way the world functions. Society is so caught up in the advancements and possibilities that they do not realize there could be or are downsides to excessive amounts in our everyday lives until the effects were already irreversible. We have allowed ourselves to become intellectually lazy only because we think it is more efficient (k). Users sacrifice their physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing in order to be consistently connected to technology that is ultimately damaging the ability to connect on a real life basis.

In conclusion, social media is detrimental to society. This trend is an effort to stay connected through social media. As technology has increased, social media has become a larger part in the lives of people around the world. It causes people to become invested in the amount of followers they have and consequently, people begin to put all of their effort into communicating with their followers. This trend is not good for society and unfortunately causes people to be more invested in their digital life rather than the people around

...the way of life, its also brings about several problems. It has become a daily routine for all people. However, the use of technology must not be overused. Technology being extremely used in todays world can cause tremendous problems, physically and mentally. People are overly dependent on their beliefs and uses of technology, but they must know that technology is not the source and answer for all situations. It is known to have many concerns, disadvantages, risks, and costs. It has changed the way a person lives and the everyday tasks one does. Technology will continue to change the world. Technological device products are breaking into todays new market and is becoming a turning point in lives today. In Conclusion, technology is harmful to todays world in many situations, it is unacceptable and not the right answer, and will not positively affect todays world.
Technology has really changed the world in a ton of ways. Some are ggod ways, and some are bad ways. What all people need to realize though, is that technology isn’t always going to be in their life. One day it is all going to drift away. Technology is not the most important thing in the world. If anything, it has caused more problems than anything. This is easier done than said, but put down the cellphone, get active. Lose those pounds that you gained after you got hooked on technology. Get connected with family more. Bond more with your friends. Get your head in books and off of TECHNOLOGY.
The impacts of social media on individual people have been substantial. In some instances, these impacts have been so significant that they change the lifestyles of some users (Lenhart, Purcell, Smith & Zickur, 2010). People are seen to change their perception of some aspects of life after indulging so much in social networking. Since these changes can be either positive or negative, the good and bad of social networking remains an issue that will forever stir debates across the world.
I remember while growing up my sister and I would go outside to ride our bikes, play basketball, roller skate, play hide and seek and just roam around our neighborhood. We just had fun and enjoyed doing mostly physical activities which caused us to exercise without us even knowing it. However, today I don’t see children outside having that kind of fun anymore or even exercising at all. I feel that the cause for this decrease in physical activity from children has to deal with today’s video games. Video games have become a big part of children's life. It all started when Atari came up with its first gaming console, which included a very simple game of tennis. The controller had just one stick and one button to play with. Today, we have many different types of consoles available in the market with very complex games that requires controllers with two or more sticks and a variety of buttons. I believe that playing video games can have both positive as well as negative effects on children. According to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, “some of these effects include increasing hand-eye coordination and increasing dexterity mental skills but a decreased interest in other activities such as studies and sports and a very negative effect of inducing violence”.
On one hand it could become another one of our addictions and we end up relying too much on it or mistake it as a replacement for a real social circle. On the other hand it can be an environment that help people develop skills and learn how to interact with the real world without the consequences. But the perceived negative effects of social media and technology are infact just a new change to how we interact with our new environment with technology. We are not getting less social because of technology, in fact we are more likely to share things with more people and meet people who all share the same interests as
