With The GOOD, Comes The BAD

Working on this one! Technology can be both bad and good. Computers can be a positive thing because it helps us do our homework. The advancement in the technology may bring the best in communication by allowing people to access the Internet everywhere. People can work at home through their laptops. Video is now accessible through more portability such as in cellphones and many other devices. Devices such as bluetooth can give drivers the ability to talk and drive at the same time. Text messaging is much better and convenient way to communicate with friends because it is a much faster method. Blogging is a very fun way of posting your thoughts and being able to share feelings amongst many other people. Video games are becoming more portable and can be taken anywhere when you are bored. Technology has provided people more ways to communicate and with one another.

The downside of technology is people with camera phones can bootleg many movies. They can't really be caught recording the movies in the theatres because it is hidden from people to notice it. Text messaging can really affect your grammar in English. Your writing techniques will be lost as you will be using slang and shortened words to communicate with your fellow friends. Cell phones can be very distracting because of its constant use in classrooms. Health problems are created with the constant use of the computer. Eye strain is the result from sitting in front of the computer monitor for a long period of time. Carpal tunnel syndrome is created when there is a great amount of time typing on the keyboard. Blog pages can be viewed by everyone and privacy may be invaded such as a person stalking another person online.

Technology has its good sides and downsides. Technology is constantly changing our ways of life by making it both hard and easier.
