:: How Technology Affects Us ::

Bismillahhirahmanirrahim...
dear my readers....

As we can see, everyone has seen the moody, a kid with music blasting out his white ear buds, or the girl rapidly texting on her phone. The youth today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that offered nonstop communications and instant gratification, whether through cell phones, gaming system, laptops, or MP3 players. However, are these technological advancements a good thing? In my opinion, technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today’s youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinder communication, and reach the immediate satisfaction.


Technology is a negative influence on us because it separates individuals from reality. The iPod is one example, by putting in your ear buds and immersing yourself in music while in public, you are disconnecting yourself from the real world.

Technology also hinders personal communication, which negatively impacts our age group. According to Norman H. Nie and D. Sunshine Hillyguys in their paper, data shows that those who use the Internet frequently spend over 100 minute less time with friend and family than non-internet users. When youth immersed with the technology, they will ignore people that say word to them and focus with their gadget.

Technology will also affect us by perpetuating the mindset of immediate satisfaction. The creation of various portable technological devices has slowly brings the idea of instant gratification. With gadget like PS3, which allow users to play games anywhere, or cell phones that let us keep in touch virtually everywhere and at any time. We grow up learning that whenever we want enjoyment, it will automatically be granted to us.


However, some argue that internet has a positive effect on social interactions because it allows us to form friendship online, can solve many problems that people face, play an important role in the development of many countries and make today life be more better and quicker.


In conclusion, technology can give us a negative and positive impact, it depends on us on how to manage and use it wisely. Society must be able to utilize technology while not allowing it to prevent or delay social interactions, particularly for those who are easily influenced.
