Technology in this world today is advancing very quickly. Some people are for it and love the world technology is creating, me, personally think it's very negitive on us as a society. People could lose daily skills, or lose connection with family and let their phone consume them. I become suduced by my phone, and even when I know it's wrong, I still do it. Elders know this and worry about our generation and what's going to become of it, I do too. People today go rent movies from machines, and check themselves out when getting groceries. I don't like this in any way because having that connection with people makes us human and shows us how to interact properly with one another. Just a decade ago phones were bricks and you had to rent …show more content…
In the end, the people that dedicate themselves to less technology and more books, will be making the technology for the future. America is one of the greatest countries people say, but we have low scores from schools and top chart for the homeless. This is because they are on their phones, distracted by some irrelavent things that won't affect them in the future. Elders know, that there are many distractions in the world for the generations to come, and they know this because we sit in front of T.V.s longer then school, and complain, and want to go out, but when the real world calls, we aren't ready. My generation would say, technology is good, it makes our lives easier and not as complicated. This is true, but were our lives complicated in the first place? We take what we have for granted, and this …show more content…
People don't call, they text becase it's easier to say something to someone like that. Social skills will be horrible in the next generation. Talking to your mom and dad won't help you, but sports will, school, and even shopping. Personally I love talking to people, but since kids my age don't, I tend to keep to myself, or talk to adults that have better social skills. For adults they worry about work. Technology also takes jobs from people, and it's aggrivating. Rich people look out for themselves and making more money instead of making others money too. This country has homeless people because technology takes their jobs away and they can't perform better than a machine. In the end, I demise technology with a passion, but in a way love it. I hate what it's doing to our country and hate what it's doing to me. If kids don't find the strength to put down technology and pick up a book, or do homework, then this country has no hope in thriving. We are losing social skills, gaining fat, and taking jobs away with one individual idea, and that idea is making our daily lives easier then they already are. Making are lives any easier then they already are, will just make them harder in the
