Technology : Positive or Negative?

Technology effects your everyday life in many ways. Some of the effects technology are positive, but some are negative.
In some ways technology has positive effects on your life. An example of this is when you use it to look up research on the computer. This is very convenient because you don't have to look up the information in books. Some students prefer using technology to get information because it is easier, and other students just don't have the time to get books from the library. When you research things thoroughly on the internet, then it is a good tool. However, if you are just going to skim the information, you can be misled or not understand the material fully. Whn students do reasearch on the internet, they tend to only look at the first few searches that come up. Depending on how they search for  the information, they may be missing imprtant information about the topic. The internet can be a great tool isf used properly. It has the most up to date information, rather than books that may be outdated. Lastly, the internet gives students access to information that they might not otherwise have.
In conclusion, technology can be positive and negative. If used the right way, it is the most state of the art way to obtain information.

  1. Lauren, you are such a great writer! I love the clear, logical format of your writing, combined with specific details that support the thesis that you are trying to make. Despite your last post where you stated that you do not like writing of any kind, you still excel in this area. Great job, as always!
