Technology

Nowadays, young people can’t live without their electronic gadgets. They are ridiculously addicted to them even if they don’t admit it. They spend the day connected to the internet just to check their social media over and over again. Teen social media addiction is something very serious and unfortunately, most teenagers are in this situation.

On the one hand, technology has been a key breakthrough. Thanks to it, you can shop online, talk to you friends via Whats App, browse the web with search engines such us Google, probably the most important of the world, forward messages, etc. It has made our life easier and more entertaining. It is difficult to get bored now because you can always take your laptop and watch a film or a TV series. Also, you can be on the social media uploading things and seeing how your friends are going or getting to know new people.

On the other hand, being a techno-lover as we are today has its consequences. First of all, it can become an addiction as it normally happens and you won’t be able to live without you phone, tablet or whatever. Plus, you can get so addicted that you won’t go out of your house just to be connected to the internet. Also, it is very seen today that everyone takes more care of their phone than of their own life. For example, they cross the road without looking because they are busy looking at their phone screen. Moreover, it is decreasing people’s ability to relate with the others. A few years ago, when you went out with your friends they all talked to each other, now they are all looking at their phones and laughing on their own. And don’t try to take their phones away, because you won’t be able to do so.

All in all, although technology is a great help to our daily life, it has worsened our life too by making us more conscious of technology than of our friends and family.
