Advancing in Technology: For better or for worse?
Technology has come a long way in the past fifty years, but the question is, has it been a positive or a negative influence in the world? I believe that technology can be of both assistance and hindrance in our lives depending on how we use it. If you are one of those people that can lose track of time for hours on social networking sites, playing video games, chatting, or doing meaningless activities, then technology appears to be holding you back. On the other hand, if technology is used for good, such as family history work, or research, it can help us solve problems more efficiently. So many factors of life have been made simpler by the advancement of technology like spreading the gospel, staying connected with family and friends, and providing unlimited resources of information. In my opinion, the answer to whether or not technology has improved the world we live in all depends on how we use it.

I completely agree! Technology advancement can be great but, like all things, it needs to be used in moderation.
ReplyDeleteI would agree. It's definitely not a good thing to waste too much time surfing the internet or social networking sites. But at the end of the day, if you use it right, technology is really amazing.
