INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY

JUAN PABLO URREA
ENGLISH

Today days we can observe that technology has advanced in a radical way, from smartphones to robots tryingto act like humans.
This seems quite good, but actually it is not at all, technology has its downside, like cars contaminating the atmosphere and industries as well,batteries and other chemicals damaging nature, anyway technology is finishing with our planet.
Technology gradually is consuming human beings for many reasons, forexample the phone agenda, many years ago we had to memorize the phone number of each person, now we just add a contact by the list. Another example may be somethingvery simple as not understanding a word, before we search in a dictionary for it, now we just type and search in “Google”.
Today young people prefer to stay in frontof a computer just playing video games or social networking like Facebook, Twitter or My Space instead of playing with friends outside or chatting with them face toface.
Now you don’t have to walk in order to arrive to a place because of all the ways to transport you right in front of your house. Technology helps you also to goupstairs, that’s absurd, all this problems are the causes of making humanity less useful and lazy. In a not too distant future the world is not going to be likebefore, it is going to be dominated by technology and machines created by our own hands and ideas.
With this own opinion I don’t want people to stop using technologybecause this one is very important and useful, I just want people realize the damage technology is causing and recognize that we don’t have to be so dependent of it.
