Technology is fundamentally vital to modern society. It is crucial for how we produce and distribute food, for how we produce and distribute energy, and is prevalent in almost every aspect of urban life. Technology is good and useful in the way that it creates efficiency. With a smartphone, we can obtain all the knowledge of the world at our fingertips. Technology has changed the culture of our world. Technology has been an important aspect of my life ever since I was little. But not all good things come from technology. It is proven that increased screen time and social media has been linked with the increasing prevalence of depression and mental illness. This is a downside I can relate to personally, as too much time on social media creates a mindset where you constantly compare yourself to others and destroys your self-esteem. The culture of smartphones and social media has also caused a decrease in “real-life” social interaction which can be detrimental in youth for developing social skills. However overall, I believe that technology has benefited human society a lot more than it has harmed. (187)
I can relate to meeting great people online. I have met many of my friends online and also met
my significant other online. While I didn’t meet my best friend online, me and her mostly
interacted by doing things online such as playing games so technology is very impactful in my
life. (52)
