How technology has harmed or helped me?

This is an image I got searching on Google.com; it means how we are getting addicted to technology.

Sometimes, I have asked myself about technology, if it is really helpful or harmful to me. I answer this question with the following; technology has helped me as it also has harmed me. Talking academically, it has helped me a lot, because all the investigations, some sources that I get information is from the internet, many assignments as essays or quizzes are done in the computer. In addition, it has also made my academic life easier as it has made it for all the actual students, because it helps to do the homework better, faster and more organized. Unfortunately, it also has harmed me a lot. I got an addiction to technology, as many people have, I can’t stop checking my phone, or there’s no day that I don’t use my computer, or watch TV. This has really affected me because I stopped to talk with my parents, friends, or even my girlfriend as much as I used to, because I get entertained doing other things. This is something that really makes me feel really sad about, technology is changing my lifestyle and it’s something that I have to avoid. Like me, many people, especially young people is getting more and more lonely, it’s really sad see how people lose friends or get away from family just because they prefer to stay in front of a computer. So, today I face myself and tell me that I want a change, I don’t want to lose everything that I have fight to obtain, it’s not but to use technology because it prepares us for the future, but we don’t have to become obsessed with it. Technology is the best tool these days, but we have to learn how to control it, and more than it, don’t let it to control us.

This is a video from Youtube.com that explains that good and bad side of technology.

Technology in my life

This is an image from Google.com that shows everyday technology.

Hey everybody! This is Kevin. Well, first some information about me. I'm an 18 years old guy that goes to the Arizona Western College. I plan to go to ASU in Tempe to study architecture. It's my dream be an architect in the future. This career involves a lot of the use of the computers and, consequently, technology. I like everything about arts; paint, music, theater, and obviously, architecture. Technology has helped me to discover more really good artists. Every day I have contact with technology, everywhere I see there is technology. When I'm in my home; I use my computer, play my guitar, watch TV, call or text some friends, a lot of thing with technology. At school, almost all my classes include a presentation in the computer, or some classes we use computers to complete an assignment. Even in the street I see technology; all those traffic lights, the cars that everyday are getting better and more sophisticated, those planes and buses transporting people to really places, which in the past was something that could take days or weeks. But why technology really helps me these days is because my girlfriend moved to another city to complete her studies, so I can't be with her every time that I want to. Technology helps me to be communicated with her, I'm able to talk, and even see her by a video call. Finally, during my life I have been surrounded by technology. I don't know how far we will get with all this technology around us; I just hope it gets out of control.
