The influence of technology in our society

As most of us know, technologies are very important in our society. Technology helps us in lots of ways. This is why I'm going to ask you a question: We humans, can we live without our mobile phones? And, are we supposed to live without them nowadays? Of course we cannot.

The first statement I have to explain the influence in our society is this one. How many of us are wearing a mobile phone instead of a watch? The answer is very simple: convenience. A mobile phone can provide us lots of utilities like searching extra information, the ease of communicating other people... while a watch only informs us about the time. That's why lots of schools/high schools are thinking about applying a new technological educative system where the learning is provided by these new technologies. Of course, using mobiles phones or even tablets at school implies a few risks such as private photos or just the bad use of it.

A part from the school use, we can find all around the wall (except poor countries). Technology also include videogames. Videogames is one of the most important arts of the world. Lots of people are absorbed by them Most of the times you are playing videogames, you are not paying attention at what is happening outside that virtual world. This is a negative aspect of the influence of technologies. The same way it happens with our smartphones. When we are getting bored and we don't know what to do, we usually pick up our phone and open Instagram to see others people lives. That's another reason of why we cannot love without these technologies. It's miserable but is true.

Nevertheless, if technology didn't exist, human age wouldn’t have improved as much as it has developed. That's why I think we have to keep on progressing in technology terms. But, as the use of technology is increasing, we have to control it to not becoming an addict.
