Is Technology Good or Bad? (Blog Post #1)

To many people technology is God’s gift to humanity. It allows people to communicate over long distances, learn things faster, it even saves peoples lives. But many people ask themselves “Is technology causing me to lose as much as I gain?” To me this question is meant to make people think about how they use technology and if it’s for the good. They should ask themselves if they are harming their lives with technology, instead of technology helping them live easier lives.  Technology can cause people to lose touch with reality. With so much going on around, they may not notice things are changing if they are constantly staring at a phone or computer screen.  Technology also causes people to forget things that shouldn’t be forgotten. For example, I could never memorize all the contacts on my phone. However, technology can be a blessing to many, especially college students. College students need technology to help them during difficult courses. They could use a flashcard app to help them memorize for a big test, they could use the Internet on their phones to look up things in an instant, or they could even use technology to help them locate the nearest library. Technology is necessary for most college students these days. But just because it helps them doesn’t mean it can’t harm them. Technology to college students could be a distraction from their studies. It can also be a source of cheating. But overall I think it makes their lives so much less stressful during a time of their lives when daily stress is at an all time high.
