the more technology evolves, the more it's going to have access to what you do with it. for example, we already know that there are ways to hack into your online bank accounts and other important things you may have. I think it's a breach of privacy.

The usage of some forms of technology, such as social media, can create pressures on people to comply to often exaggerated norms of society. People may feel the need to seek validation from or feel the need to change themselves to comply with the norms that they feel are portrayed on various forms of media.

Technology provides many forms of access to information, and communities to share this on. Being able to google a question at any time, or being able to call 911 when in need could be very useful and life changing. Technology heavily impacts communication, and can definitely help long distance relationships(family, friends, etc.).

Technology can help provide solutions to many problems that were once impossible. For example, technology can help a blind person get around more efficiently by telling them where to go. Special glasses may help a person see vague outlines of shapes. Technology can help us remember to hydrate and track our fitness to help us stay healthy. It provides so benefits that help us live our best lives and minimize the effect of certain problems or limitations.

Social Media makes it too easy to hurt other people. Hiding a screen name, people often say or post things that are hurtful about other people. They don't think about the consequences. Social Media also causes depression in teenagers because they spend too much time comparing their worst to everybody else's best. You can't trust what see on Instagram, or Facebook, or Twitter, or whatever else. It can Photoshoped or just a complete lie. It really spreads bad feeling that wouldn't normally be spread without social media.

Too much technology can hurt our work ethic. For instance, we already see this with streaming services such as Netflix or people being lazy and having Alexa do a lot of things like turning off their lights. Technology is a big problem for people who need to get work done and a big distraction for procrastinators.

Technology is becoming so advanced with being able to see things virtually, as if you are actually there. Well now people are working on making a copy of yourself or of anyone, and possibly be able to communicate with them. It could be from someone who is dead now, to a famous person, to a family member you never to to met, or even your past self. This could be a big pro to get to talk to people you never thought you could ever see again.

Technology can help bring people with disadvantages back up to the same level playing field as people without disadvantages. Technology can help people who are blind to have an easier way to navigate the area around them. Technology can also have the possibility to prevent certain conditions from happening. With social media, you can find videos of how to do certain tasks in order for you to easily replicate them yourself. Technology can help you easily connect with one on the other side of the world with social media. Overall, technology can help make the world a lot simple and can even make your life a lot better.    -Sameer R

Technology is making teens mental state worse as the years go on. Social media has effect teens to always relay on their followers or other peoples approve to like themselves. They are also making a image for both men and women on how our bodies should look. This is ruining other people mentality, and abusing us online. Technology is an incredible thing, but too much of it and it gonna ruin peoples life's.

An repetitive overuse of technology will lead to a damaging mind mentally and also physically. Playing video games for way too long will lead to it being on your mind all the time and it negatively affects your grades too. It may lead to an unproductive session of delaying when you should do your chores and homework. Technology has changed the world in every aspect in our lives, but can be damaging also.

Most technological discoveries work so we don't have to. Machines have replaced humans for most of the redundant, manual work. You can also save a lot of time for yourself by using technology for your everyday activities. For example, before GPS was invented, people had to use paper maps. If you can't read a map, you'll get lost, but a GPS is easy enough for everyone to use. Another example is the e-mail. Before the e-mail, you had to send a letter which could be lost or take a long time to deliver.

With the ability to spread information in a little amount of time, it is easy for people to share their views about things. However, that means rumors can be spread faster. Technology is also making it easy for people to edit their pictures and videos. How many times have you seen a video that looked real, but it was all computer-animated? These videos can be shockingly realistic, and they can make their hoaxes more convincing.

Real human interactions and connections are slowly dying, and many are lacking the ability to engage with the real world. People constantly see a fake world full of fake people and fake lifes advertised to destoy people's self-esteems. The only way people like themselves is through the validation and attention they recieve online. These issues are causing many people to have stress, low self-esteem, depression, unhealthy lives and overall many mental health problems. -Neda Gulen

Technology is giving people an opportunity to discover new information and news, to learn more about their interests and topics they're interested in. Certain things you see can serve as positive inspiration, and you are able to see stories and advice from other people.The quick ability to receive any of information also serves as a negative effect, causing people to have short-attention spans, and the desire to receive information quickly.

Technology has aimed at making our world more efficient. It has assisted us to work faster and easier in tasks we encounter in our everyday lives. Communication has now expanded as research or newly found discoveries become acquirable to people around the world. Moreover, technology has helped the medical and scientific field through recording experimental results and research information. New or enhanced medical equipment has facilitated our understanding of medical conditions. Doctors can now find the source of a patient's illness or pain by using tools such as an x-ray to help find a cure. Technology has aided the blind in navigation. Continually, it has improved the quality of life for the hearing impaired by inventions such as the hearing aid. Business and industry have flourished and markets have expanded. Products now can be bought online and mailed to your door. New ideas and inventions are being made and tried. There is no limit to how far technology will take us, and how it will shape human society, but we should not fear it. Embracing these opportunities will help us seek far greater potential than we ever sought to imagine.

There is always a flip side to how technology has affected our world. In some ways, it has diminished the values of our ancestors. Technology has become an addiction because the allure of technology is too strong. Some people today can not take their eyes off a screen because of things such as enhanced online gaming, movie production, television, Youtube videos, and Social Media Apps causing a distraction. Furthermore, the intended purpose of social media is for communication within a virtual community. However, in many ways, that definition has changed. Cyberbullying has caused people to fall into pits of self-doubt and isolation. People can now see anything posted online, which sometimes has negative impacts on people. If someone were to find out something private about a person, posting about it online or on social media will expose it to the whole world, and in that way, it is dangerous. There are also scams where people try to steal your money and personal information. Plagiarism has given credit to people who are cheaters and liars. It has affected our connection with nature, and face-to-face interaction has decreased now that people do not even need to see their friends to reach out to them. It has jeopardized family connections and relationships as the distraction of technology takes up our time in life. However, if we focus on the negative impacts of technology, that is all it will ever be. Technology has helped us in many ways and has been beneficial. Though, along with other aspects of our life, technology needs to be balanced out. Let's not forget that technology is not everything. It is a tool to use for sharing new ideas into the world and improve the standard way of living. If you think about it, if something is obtainable, it has the potential of being used in the wrong way, but it is up to humanity for that to be decided. When we use it for good, we share our creations with the world and help it grow. We have to be courageous and look at it from this standpoint, which is that we do not depend on technology, but how we use it depends on us.

Technology continues to develop and evolve, which in return begins making our lives easier in so many ways. If you wanted to find out about a topic, you would have to go to the library and find a book that relates to that topic and read it. Nowadays finding out about something is right at our fingertips. You can learn about something minutes after it has happened, instead of like the old days where they would send someone on horseback to deliver a message.

Although technology makes our lives easier, it is also making our lives harder in different ways. Our attention spans become shorter and we become more impatient when the WiFi is too slow. The advancement of technology, social media especially, has a huge effect on teenagers mental health. The more time teenagers are spending on their phones, the less time they have for their childhood. It's also taking a toll on how we interact with some people. If you spend so much time on your phone, you'll disconnect from reality and not know how to hold a conversation with others.

The aim of technology is to make life simpler, and it is usually successful in that. Before technology, you were limited to where you could walk if you wanted to travel, and you couldn't move off the land you were on. Now you can even visit other continents, and even talk to people anywhere on earth. Also, most information is accessible through the internet, so you can easily answer most questions you have.

Technology is a great thing, but it comes with a risk. The risk is that it sometimes doesn't work. As we become more and more reliant on technology, the destruction that could be caused by a failure in technology increases. If we become too reliant on technology, and something important suddenly breaks or is intentionally destroyed, it could cause a massive disaster. If we ever become too dependent on technology, we would be helpless if an event like this happened.

When people have powerful tools that they can abuse, a lot of people get hurt.  When the atomic bomb was invented, it was used to hurt a lot of people; the threat of nuclear weapons or a nuclear war grows every day.  If we develop more powerful weapons of war, who knows the deaths and pain it could cause.

Technology can provide access to new opportunities and events that otherwise may not have happened. Technology can help you meet new people online that you may develop a close bond with. Technology also helps spread positive messages and events that need attention way easier than before. Due to technology, events from other countries that need attention, are now more frequently talked about.

A big problem that stems from technology is social media. Social media helps fuel and also hurt a lot of people's egos. Instead of worrying more about the present and living in the moment, people instead spend their day lost in the waters of social media. They worry about other people and compare them to themselves, and often leave with a hurt ego. Also, a big problem is likes. If they don't get a lot of likes or as many as others, their self-confidence is lowered and it may lead to problems such as anxiety or depression.
