I’m not sure what side I want to be on in this. There’s no denying that technology is beneficial to everyone. Technology is a major part of my life. I believe that technology is both beneficial and detrimental to society. No one can deny that technology is beneficial. Think about it. Where would we b without it?? Almost everything we do involves technology. For most of us, it is a part of our daily lives. I am on my cell phone 24/7. I don't know what I’d do without it. Ever since I’ve come to COM, I do literally all of my work on the computer. My whole life practically revolves around technology. I’m interested in a career in the medical field, and all of the medical technological advances are simply amazing. The things that doctors today can do for us because of technology are very beneficial to everyone. Some people would not even be alive if it weren’t for technology.

Idk I guess I’m gonna list a few random things that support my idea that technology is beneficial to us all

-
there are so many ways that technology has benefited in the medical field that they may just be uncountable
-technology has helped a lot in communication. You can send a letter to your friend who lives on the other side of the world in like 10 seconds through email, or u could pick up your cell phone and make calls across the world.
It’s so easy for everyone to know what’s going on in the world because we can turn on our televisions to channel 11 or 13 and watch the news.
-transportation has come a long way due to technology. We can travel safely by land, air and sea.
-what the heck would I do without my hair dryer?? I my hair dryer. Thank u technology!!
- We can track hurricanes and storms.
-and much, much more

There are so many awesome things we can do that we owe to technology, but it can be detrimental. Like Jeremy said, it depends on how we use it. We shouldn’t use technology to be evil, and we shouldn’t use it in a way that harms our environment especially if we can prevent it. And like Quentin said, we shouldn’t let it make us lazy. Instead of watching TV or surfing the web all day, try a nice walk in the park or something, ya know?? But like Zach said, the good outweighs the bad (in my opinion).

Well ha I guess that for different reasons, I’m going to be on both sides. I might just decide to say that it is beneficial. But idk yet. I believe that technology is beneficial, but it can be detrimental if we go about it the wrong way.

I'm with you on that one! I have my pros and cons about the whole technology thing but I'm afraid for the future as to whats in store for us. I'm already bad with it as it is. I'm afraid its going to get a lot tougher.
