Is dependency on technology a serious issue? Americans are now too dependent on technology, and it is taking over our social lives, Americans can not seem to do anything without their electronics. Most Americans use the restroom with their smartphones and sleep with them Smartphones are like an addictive drug to Americans, Technology is used in our daily routines Americans are constantly on social media sharing what they are doing, posting selfies and talking about their lives This technology era has made Americans impatient because they are so used to accessing everything quickly on their electronics, such as smartphones and tablets Dependency on technology has its negative effects and positive effects on our lives, but it is not correct or healthy to use technology for everything Americans do. Technology is constantly improving with the purpose of simplifying the lives of Americans, but some may be overdoing it.
Technology makes everything available to us in seconds. The expansion and improvement of technology has impacted bookstore sales, spending habits, and face-to-face interactions Life without Internet and smartphones would mean that more people would talk to each other face to face and maybe try to have a real conversation, Life would be tedious for most people like children because that would mean that instead of watching YouTube videos they would be playing outside, I would have to go to the library to find out information instead of searching on Google. The improvement and expansion of technology is changing my life meaning I will be more reliant on technology for everything I do and forget about the days without technology.
The expansion of technology has made Americans rely on it. Sometimes Americans feel like their lives do not matter without technology. Americans sleep with their smartphones and possibly use the restroom with it because they do not want to miss out on any news, Dependency on technology has negative effects on our education, behavior and body. It effects our education because they tend to do our homework or projects with our smartphones next to us. As well as doing any school related work on a computer, then start watching Netflix or going on Facebook. The effects on our behavior are being physically and mentally lazyt Having access to most things makes Americans want everything at their fingertips in quick seconds which means losing the ability of thinking critically These effects can lead to the lack of self-knowledge. Technology can cause behavioral issues such as physical and mental laziness.
Physical laziness comes from sitting down and being on your electronics all day, Not exercising the brain and trying to learn on your own is being mentally lazy. Most Americans don’t want to go through the hassle of putting in work on an essay or a research paper and decide to plagiarize off the internet to get the assignment over with. Behavioral issues can be long term, meaning that Americans will never stop relying on technology to do anything for them. The positive effects of depending on technology are getting work done at a faster pace, being able to talk to family members in other countries, and online education. Americans like to get things done fast because if not then they get lazy. Having the ability to speak to family members in other countries is amazing for some Americans.
My mother recently found her nephew on Facebook after they lost connection when his father passed away She was so grateful for Facebook that day. As well as online education it works great for those that have responsibilities at home, but still want to receive a degree or simply take a class that they are interested in. Americans should not depend on technology all the time. Technology should be used wisely and when needed Americans are sometimes so busy on social media that they do not think about enjoying their lives out in the real world with family members and friends. Although technology can have negative effects on the American society, there are still positive effects that help them.
