How Technology Affects Us

The youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote nonstop communication and instant gratification, whether through cell phones, gaming systems, laptops, or MP3 players.

The creation of various portable technological devices has slowly ingrained the idea of instant gratification.

I believe that the growth of technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and perpetuates the concept of immediate ¬satisfaction.

Technology hinders personal communication, which negatively impacts our age-group.

By constantly being cut off from personal interactions and new experiences because of a technological device, a generation with substandard social abilities is being groomed.

If we do not have to face reality by experiencing new things, making personal relationships, and problem solving, then we will never be able to function as adults.

Communication skills are critical for everyone, yet use of the Internet is undermining this development.

With gadgets like the PS3 or Nintendo DS, which allow users to play games anywhere, or cell phones that let us keep in touch virtually everywhere and at any time, we grow up learning that whenever we want pleasure or enjoyment, it will automatically be granted to us.

The ability to access anything and everything someone posts without knowing if their intent is malicious is a downside to the open transfer of information available on the Internet.

We will not be positively impacted by communicating through a computer screen if we already do not have the self-confidence to socially interact in reality.

Our world must learn to embrace technology without allowing it to negatively impact the creation of functional adults in society.

Society must be able to utilize technology while not allowing it to impede social interactions, particularly for those who are easily influenced during our formative years.

The Internet actually detracts from the communication abilities of society, especially the young.

For some people, the main appeal of the iPod is that it preoccupies you so that you do not have to deal with the uncontrollable factors of everyday life.
