Technology as an Unhealthy Obsession – Kim Dees
What would the world be like with out technology? The world needs to realize
that technology is not as important as spending time with their families. Just think
what technology is doing to people's brains. Technology is often addictive. This
makes people lazy because they don't know how to live without technology.
Personally, I think the world would go crazy without technology. This world needs
to realize that there are more important things then just technology. There is
family, friends, jobs, and etc. Sometimes I often imagine what the world would be
like without technology I imagine it peaceful quiet, place where people actually
spend time with their family and friends for a change. Technology is taking over
the world. Eventually it is going to take over people’s jobs.
People have forgotten the importance of family. They have forgotten its
meaning. Family should come before anything because family has always been
there even before technology even was thought of. Now children want nothing to
do with their parents because they are always focused on technology all the time.
Also parents are becoming the same way as children. They are always on the
phone or the computer 24/7.This is very sad because parents have no idea what
is going on with children because technology is more important to them than their
children.
Nobody talks to each other on the phone anymore because it is easier for them
just to send a text message to somebody than it is to call them. Technology is
running this world into the ground because that is all anybody can ever think
about. Most can’t go a second without texting or using any technology. People
are too addicted to technology these days; many people behave like they can't
live without technology for a minute. An example of this is my uncle. He is on his
computer from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to bed. My uncle
misses out on family events that we have because of technology.
Yes, technology is important .The question becomes is it more important than
your family, friends, and etc.? That is the question that everybody should ask
himself. People do not see how technology is making our world dependent. We
need to make time for other things then just technology .Don't get me wrong. I
love technology. It's just that we need to relax on the technology and spend some
time doing other things. Set an amount of time that you want to use technology;
then the other time use it for spending the remaining with your family, friends,
and doing the things you like to do.
In my opinion, technology is a good thing as long as you have a limit for it.
Some people don't know when to stop using technology. I know people who will
not put up the iPods or phones for a second. What would the world be without
technology? This is the question that I always ask myself. I catch myself at times
imagining the world without technology; how peaceful and quiet that would be.
Families would spend more time together rather than wasting time with virtual
experiences. People just need to think that technology is always going to be
there but their family isn't because we all are here for a short time. These are the
things people need to care about more than technology. Family is the most
important thing in this world to me. I don't know what I would do with out them in
my life.
