More Useful Or Harmful?

 
     Internet, cellphones, TV, computers, games, just technology in general to some feels like it’s ruining one of the most simple things between humans and that’s connection in the real world, some would say… I just want to get my peers view on this, in your opinion does modern day technology do more help than harm?  To me I can honestly say the usefulness exceeds the harm, but at the same time someone could be in the same room with you and still feel so far away because of technology. Now a days people are so wrapped up in social media that they are missing out on connections, I’ve even herd of a study saying that cellphones can cause brain cancer and tumors and those are just a couple of the down falls, but the upside is way better we owe so much to technology it has helped advance many fields such as… medicine, education, research and even culinary, we even owe so much to technology, touching the moon curing diseases and many more great things without technology we would have never done that. So in my opinion the usefulness greatly exceeds the harm, and I ask what do you think?

  2. The advantages of technology are numerous and they are not going anywhere. I think rather than debating whether technology is harmful we need to take a close look at the way we use technology and what it means for future generations. For instance, my kids are growing up in a home with iphones and ipads and lap tops. As a parent, I feel like my job is to teach them responsible use of technology. I try not to spend a lot of time on my phone in front of them. I limit their access to the ipad. I hope that as they get older they will value human contact and face to face conversations more than texts and facebook.
