Recently, technology has been deeply integrated into many aspects of our day-to-day lives. Many people are now dependent on technology, as it plays a big role in their lives. While some might argue that such an integration is beneficial and comes with only benefits, a closer look will also show that it can cause some disadvantages. This essay is going to examine both the positives and negatives of such a transition.
On the positive side, technology has deeply helped in the process of learning. Nowadays, you can learn about anything all by a click of a button; instead of searching from books. This change allowed people to learn a variety of information in a shorter time span of that of the past. In addition, technology allowed people to be in contact with their friends, family , and coworkers by different ways: emails, phone calls, and video calls. I believe that such benefits makes the implementation of technology in our lives a positive change.
However, the use of technology can still come with its disadvantages. People , especially teenagers, have excessive screen time usage per day. Some even reaching an average of 7 to 9 hours daily. Experts believe that such an increase in screen time can cause many health risks such as: decreased attention spans, sleeping problems, and increased anxiety and overall anger issues. However, I believe that if we limited their screen time and reduced it, the benefits will without a doubt outweigh the drawbacks.
In conclusion, recently people have been more dependent on technology to do their day-to-day tasks. Although, such a trend might come with its drawbacks, I believe that if we limit out screen time then the advantaged would definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
