Ordinarily, parents and guardians would turn their metaphorical noses up at the prospect of employing technology even more in people’s daily lives. The topic is still somewhat new and foreign, so the attitude is understandable. However, simply…
Although there are those who do not fit this description, most of the youth in this generation are so dependant on technology that they begin to become extremely lazy. Now, if a computer takes longer than 5 seconds to load a webpage, we think to ourselves, “I need a new computer, this one is too slow”. If a task is placed in front of us and we have to actually put effort into it rather than to use technology, we simply don’t want to do it.…
“Machines had not saved us from slavery; they had become a means of enslavement”. Said by Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto. Just like many of us today I use the internet and technology to do a lot of things; Emailing, messaging, researching and technology also helped my health. With all the good thing that technology has help me with , I still feel as if technology may be making us lazier not stupid. "Dave, my mind is going, I can feel it. I Can feel it.” Hal says, forlornly, toward the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A space Odyssey, a movie showing a futuristic look at technology.…

The internet/computer only took an astonishing four year to reach 50 million users while it took the television 13 years and the radio 38 years (Shrivastav, "Interesting Facts about Computers"). Everyday more and more people are starting to use their computer for all kinds of different reasons. The use of a computer is appealing to everyone because it is so easy to do anything on it. Adults can read news for free and children can play games on it. Computers are putting the health of our society at risk. The constant use of computers leads to poor posture, childhood obesity, and dangerous radiation.…
Parents always tell their children that if they use too much technology their brain will turn to mush. Children`s brains won`t quite turn to mush, but there still are lots of effects of using too much technology. Young children and teens should be allowed only one to two hours of screen time per day, while children ages two and under should be allowed no screen time at all. A study has shown that 61% of people have said that 5 or more hours of their day is screen time, while 30% of people have said that 9 or more hours of their day is screen time (Thorpe). Doctors are now starting to use the term cyberchondriac for people who are extensively using technology and are addicted (Abramovitz).…
“What really makes us intelligent isn’t our ability to find lots of information quickly. It’s our ability to think deeply about that information.” (Is Google Making Us Stupid?) There are very many risks to technology. This is unfortunate because technology rates are growing rapidly. Some risks to technology include causing distractions, and causing addiction. (Source 2)…

Technology has made easy for people to be lazy. whether it be that we don't have to leave the house to buy things or that we don't have to go out and see people that we could just call or text. Passage two…
Technology has grown so much over the years and you can do so much with it now. You can read books, shop, and play games without having to be in contact with others. This limitation of human contact has had a negative effect on people's lives. The reason why it has negative effects on people's lives is because some people never get that fresh air anymore and some people do not know how to act around others. Since technology has grown, several people are less likely to leave their houses. Those people who get so caught up in the Internet world never want to leave their homes and go out into the real world. In our generation, children would rather play video games than go outside and ride bikes. It is not all children that do this but it is most of the children and…

People with addictive mentalities can become easily addicted to either their cell phones, computers, gaming, etc. Finally, technology can be dangerous in a way that it can make us less intelligent. We let technology control the way we think in our life. We have become so dependent on technology to solve our everyday struggles and questions with it restricting us to learn more. The innovation of technology is a great thing in our society, but it doesn’t beat the fact that it has unhealthy…
With advances in technology, people grow lazier with every passing day. First came cars so we wouldn’t have to walk, then came phone so we would have to write, then came the computer so we don’t have to do calculations, then came the internet so know we don’t even have to leave our home, then came the cell phone now we don’t even have to talk to one another, and finally came the AI so now we don’t have to drive, remember our schedule, or even wake up at a time fashion for that matter. You can call technology a curse or a blessing it all depends on how lazy you want to be. But with it is not the fault of technology that we grew to be so lazy, no it is the lack of education to give something different to be more involved in. Education has tried to teach people the same thing for centuries and now wonder why things are different. In Letters to EJ a college professor writes about her growing disappointment in the quality of students in which she teaches. She goes to say, "I am dismayed by students' growing ignorance regarding sentence structure and other simple grammatical principles" (La Vista p. 9). La Vista writes about her dissatisfaction with English students of the day. Noting that with the emergence of the internet there has been a dip in both the quality and effort the students put forth. You can blame many things on the internet but a weak student is…
Since their invention, people far and wide have become increasingly dependent on computers. Computers have found their way into just about every aspect of our lives, and in most cases, they make things easier for us. They allow us to work from home, socialize with our friends and family who live too far away to visit, and they provide a stress relief when we come home from school or work and just want to have some fun. But as we increasingly rely on computers to get through the day, the question begs to be answered: have we become too dependent on computers? As most of us can agree, the world is overused with technology making it a necessity in modern day life. As demonstrated on the image, the use of technology is practically addicting, making it almost a drug resulting in many different hazardous dangers/effects.…
Technological progress is a continuous process, which plays a very important role in our daily lives. However, some people believe that this progress has made us lazy, saying we rely on machines too much. For me, the progress, while not making us lazy, makes human beings more active both physically and mentally.…
