How is Technology beneficial to us?
Technology helps enhance everyday life by making things easier for us to do. Now instead of looking everywhere for your calculator, you can just use your phone. It works the same for papers now so instead of having a huge stack of papers you can just save your documents and make a back up of them on a USB. Even though technology is useful to us there is also the problem of addiction where people get too involved with it and just use it all the time. Have you ever gone out to see a movie with a friend or go get something to eat and the only thing they ever do is look down at their phone and follow you? That's most likely because the person is addicted to the technology that they have incorporated into their daily lives.
Advantages of Technology
There are definitely pros to having technology such as being able to find information effortlessly by just typing a few key words into a search engine. Technology has also opened up new opportunities for jobs such as being able to work in bigger companies that need people to do math, artwork, or design a website for their advertisements. Another plus is that when there's nothing to talk about you can just take out your phone and play angry birds until an awkward situation just goes away on its own.
Things to remember
Keep yourself safe
There isn't always going to be someone looking over your shoulder checking if things are safe for you. You need to learn to make your own wise decisions and learn to keep personal info to yourself, don't let yourself get too trusting of a "friend" you met online.
Explore
The internet has many different features as well as just technology in general so don't be afraid to go play some games or look at new content as long as you're sure that they're safe.
Limit yourself
Be sure to take a break every so often otherwise, you'll find yourself awake at 3 in the morning trying to beat your own high-score. Technology is good for you but only in small amounts.
