The technology helps us but it s getting to the point where it is taking over us. Technology is everywhere but I believe we should use it just for work and necessary things and not just for social media.

Everywhere you go people around you have a phone in their hands. We see people on their phones while they are walking, at parks, at food restaurants when going out with a friend or relative, and even at the dinner table. I know this because i'm also guilty of doing this.]]> 2018-11-07 19:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301750070 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301751920 i believe even though technology is really a blessing as has come to help us in incredible ways and in education, it is a problem when we use to for purposes that are not as important and distant us from what is important. for example having your phone on and using or just on the kitchen table while you are eating with your family is wrong because we aren't really talking to out family and communicating because we are having an ear out for our phone to see if it rings or etc. ]]> 2018-11-07 19:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301751920 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301753348 I believe that technology is not really outweighing the risks.I think that we might use technology to much but it is still beneficial.We might be addicted and the reason why is because it is used in the whole world so we can't really get away from it.]]> 2018-11-07 19:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301753348 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301756580 The believe that it's not technology but people.

It has helped us in so many ways Many people are addicted to technology at least the majority .We use technology much more than what we actually think we use . We spend about 75% of our time online , even in school . Technology can have its benefits when we have things like school work to do or homework , but it turns into a problem when we use it for things that don't help us . Technology is amazing if its used right and for the good . ]]> 2018-11-07 20:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301770170 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301788625 I believe that technology is an advantage and a disadvantage to our society because we are over using it and getting addicted to it and outweighing the benefits, therefore, it is making people lazier. Technology can be an advantage in some cases because it is a useful source like on places such as hospitals where they save lives, make advance human medicine and advance health science.]]> 2018-11-07 20:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301788625 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301799762 I believe with the type of society we live in today, technology is really the only was we CAN go. There is no stepping backwards, and perhaps this is for the greater good. Even the downsides to technology are getting better as we learn to improve and make it's use easier. We have definitely lost important day to day survival skills through dependency on technology, and some rely on it a bit too much out of necessity from work, companionship, and other reasons, but I do not believe that the entirety of a generation is addicted to it's use. In fact, I believe that life outside of the phone has been encouraged to be more spontaneous and colorful, all thanks to technology being able to tell use about the new places we can go and the ways we can live.]]> 2018-11-07 21:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301799762 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301800894 I believe the risks are more prominent than the convenience, but ignored, because it is seen as something that will make our lives better, rather than the bad impacts. I believe us as a whole are addicted to technology, but for the convenience and the features it provides, purposely ignoring the consequences of usage. The benefits? Broad range communication, lives being saved in the medical field, as well as agriculture becoming more accessible and easy to produce. The disadvantages are lack of sleep, shortening of attention span, more work-related accidents due to machinery, and strained vision plus many many more. The downfall and negative side to technology such as follows is the impact it has made upon our social views and has altered our perception of reality all together.]]> 2018-11-07 21:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301800894 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301802775 I would want to think that we, as a society, aren't heavily relying on technology but that would be a lie. Even as I say this however, it isn't necessarily a horrible thing that we are relying on it because in many ways, shapes, and forms, technology has helped us. But overall, yes, this generation and older generations are addicted to technology.]]> 2018-11-07 21:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301802775 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301803381 The vast benefits of devices such as phones heavily outweigh the risks.The idea of being addicted to technology is a small price to pay for the ability to contact someone in seconds who could be across the world. The idea of being addicted to a device sounds scary and as if its something that will kill you like a drug addiction or the way Simon Sinek made it out to be. All you have to do is simply walk away from the phone. I believe our use of technology is rational and understandable due to how advanced our world is actually becoming due to the use of the devices. I believe that a majority of people are addicted but the people who use technology in moderation are completely healthy]]> 2018-11-07 21:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301803381 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301806136 I believe that there are many ups and downs with technology that some people use rightfully while others don't. I don't believe everyone is overusing technology rather using it in the wrong way. If we all were to use technology the right way I think this conversation would be a problem or even as widespread as it is. As for being addicted to it , I believe we are addicted to it. We use it basically everyday and some even spend more than 6 hours on it. I believe the only thing we can do now is just to avoid a little more. I know it would probably be hard to completely stop and wouldn't be very beneficial, but if we could stop using it as much. I believe that would help the society much more.]]> 2018-11-07 21:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301806136 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301806434 Technology is a very beneficial tool to have in our society today. The world is literally and metaphorically at our fingertips. Although technology has its benefits it also has its risks, one of the biggest risks is the increases health problems that come with technology usage. We, as a society, are in fact addicted to technology in daily overuse the privilege. The more technology hat comes out and the more advanced it is, the more addiction and overuse of technology increases. ]]> 2018-11-07 21:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301806434 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301806807 Technology definitely isn't perfect but it is an amazing time waster and our society wouldn't be the same without it. However when you let social media and other technologies consume your life then it becomes a major problem.  There are more conveniences with technology than without it. Making phone calls, paying your electric bill, etc all make everyday things so much easier to accomplish that it just completely destroys all risks. As a society I would say we're addicted to it mainly because it's such a new and exciting thing that is getting updated almost daily. We're already seeing a decline in social media use as millennials are just getting tired of it and as long as we don't overdo things we should be good.

In context to previous generations, our use of technology has indeed increased. However, making a claim that the level of technology consumption today is overused in the sense that it is extreme I feel is variable. In the analogous situation of inflation, it would be erroneous to claim that the cost of goods is "too high", or that the purchasing power of money is "too low" because, while it may seem that these are correct descriptors for the changes that have occurred, these levels are adjusted to and a reflection of our society. Therefore, what may be considered an "overuse" of technology, upon further inspection, is simply an adjustment of the use of technology to our current society and its demands. With this being said, an overuse of technology would only exist in the case that one's, or a society's, use of technology extends beyond the demands required of society. With that definition in mind, I do not believe that technology is being overused. Currently, in America, we live in a society that is highly demanding, and technology is simply a means by which teenagers and young adults keep up with the bustling nature of our world. Claiming that we overuse technology is analogous to the flawed claim that during the Industrial Revolution society overused factories. It is natural for one to be compelled to repeatedly indulge in an activity if it directly benefits us. With that being said, it is plausible to claim that many are addicted to technology, but as to define whether this addiction is negative, I believe that further research would have to be conducted due to the fact that many of the research on technology and its effects is subjective. For example, while there are many researches that prove and/or suggest that technology has decreased our attention span for reading, the other side of this effect, which is more often than not excluded from research, is that due to the habit of reading shorter or shallower texts, we have become more efficient and swifter at processing information. The research on technology and its effects is subjective in two senses. One, is that the author of the research or other analysts and writers are able to portray the effects of this "overuse" of technology any light they want the reader to see, whether it is positive or negative. Secondly, the reader themself has different values and opinions concerning these effects and whether they are to be deemed "good" or "bad".]]> 2018-11-08 02:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301873871 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301885804 Technology has opened many doors for people as far as communicating, being more aware of the world, etc. As much as it has benefitted the world, bad seems to always trail behind as people have come to believe it is ruining the connections with people, our own well beings, and overall becoming an addiction that we are all blind to. Having an addiction to technology is a controversial topic as I have come to believe its hard to claim such thing is a reality. People use technology for many different things, but just because they use it completely opposite from the ideals we had, who is to say its completely wrong? ]]> 2018-11-08 03:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301885804 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301897130 In order to understand the benefits of technology versus the risks of technology you must first comprehend the concept of technology. The idea behind technological innovations is to help aid the human civilization with day to day life and assist in anyway possible, yet people continue to claim technology is creating a negative impact on our society. Contrary to this claim there are countless examples of technology bettering our society, in fact it even bettered the earliest civilizations. One of the earliest and astounding examples of this would be the agricultural revolution where people the increase in technology lead to innovation that would result in them being able to yield higher crop productivity and with this it allowed them to abandon their inefficient nomadic style of living. The same can be said for today, our world is changing and we have to be accepting of that fact, just as the early people of the agricultural revolution did, and allow for this change to happen even though it may seem odd to the way some grew up it is just a part of the natural process. So to say that the risk outweigh the benefits would be ridiculous as we can see that there are not enough examples of risk that technology has created for humans. In addition to this argument the term 'overuse' can be different depending on who you ask. In other words the amount we depend on technology may also change along with time, although to claim we are only beginning to overusing technology would be a hypocritical statement as throughout history we have always been dependent on technology to ensure we survive. For this reason I do not believe we overuse technology, but instead we are using it the appropriate amount in order to comply with our current societal standards. Finally I believe people can become addicted to anything if they allow themselves to become susceptible to it, and in this case I believe technology is no different.]]> 2018-11-08 04:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301897130 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301897324 Technology has opened many doors for us in all ways possible. From medical, manufacture, teaching, military, safety etc. We would never be where we are without it. But also, we need to learn how to not overuse it and to not let it consume us. We are in the era of new technological advancements which is great for us humans but sometimes we use it for the wrong things. We should turn all that new knowledge into something that will benefit the earth and our lives rather then our massive egos. Overall, I'm not against it because I use it on the daily but we need to learn how to use it properly]]> 2018-11-08 05:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301897324 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/301905358 I'd say the overuse of technology is at large.

We have build up the habit of relying on technology to make us happy, to make us laugh, to make us feel less "lonely", and to make us feel good in many other ways.

The average persons use can be a risk to wakening the ability to communicate with others who may not be as "modern" as they are, but in a medical and scientific way, technology have helped us grow to find new ways to help others. Also as a way to help doctors, and people studying to become medical professionals, to learn more simple and more advanced ways to save lives. Other than benefiting us in a medical way, I believe people are so addicted to technology that we don't really see how it is weakening our way of communicating and dealing with human issues.]]> 2018-11-08 19:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/302282505 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/302291030 i know that technology helps us humans a lot, but we are starting to over use those benefits that we become addicted and we rely on them]]> 2018-11-08 19:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/302291030 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/302292012 i think that technology is good and that most of us use it to learn and do a lot of positive thing but i also agree that theirs such a thing as too much technology and that sometimes we need to go out and be away from our phones ]]> 2018-11-08 19:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/302292012 https://padlet.com/jconway5/4y2axf676pzt/wish/302293313 technology is a big part of our lives so when taken from us, some people react worse than others.
