Hi there! I just found a nice video I'm sure some of you desperately need to watch. Eventhough technology has helped us in different ways, it has also affected our lives in negative ways. Watch this useful video. What do you think of it? Have you ever met someone addicted to technological devices? Are you one of them? What have you done or are you doing to help him/her or yourself overcome this problem?
Is any of the advice provided in the video useful? What other advice would you include? Share your
experience!
I'm sure that more than one of our society will feel identified with this video, I am one for example, I totally feel that the last advice of keeping the phone far away of the bed and don't ever fall sleep with it was for me, I think that technology is reallly wrapping us in some ways, it is also amazing that the percentage of people having smartphones in America. I think that this tendency is going to rise more than nowadays. I'm totally agreed with the four advices of the video. Furthermore, I'm going to add one more, every body with this kind of problem could start to think about a project in their own interest, likes or careers, for example, I could start a trial in a hospital, that would keep my mind occupied, so I could leave technology for a while.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. Very wise!
DeleteI think that it is a good video because it is a common problem nowadays, The four advice that name in the video are useful not only to people addicted without too the people that recently start using this networks. I don't consider addicted to technology because if I do it. i will lose a lot of things that I enjoy in the outside world. I think a reason to stop being addicted, it should have more activities and hobbies outside the internet.Likeway,They should know that addiction can cause some side effects, some of these affect their health, some people are not aware of this and they don't know the damage it does to them.
ReplyDeleteYou are right there. It does not only affect our social skills, but also our health.
DeleteI agree with this usefull video because this problem about teenager addicts to technology is very common and is increasing day by day. I think that we must consider this problem seriously and do something for young people to realize the many effects that it could cause to their health and overcome this addiction thinking about goals that they want to achieve in the future. The video´s advices are very good, I would like to add another. limit the time that you are going to use internet. Geisha Ordoñez
ReplyDeletei agree with you. The addiction of technology is a seriouly problema in the world and might be worse. Only imaging that each time the technology develop more and more, so it will more accesible to other person and more public (SMARTH CELLPHONES). As long as the time pass, people will became more dependent of technology and will spent a lot of time with that, so it could produce a serious problems in their health and produce seiours illnes. On the other hand, the Internet facilities a lot of time that we spent a lot of time like online shop that it saves you a lot of time to go there and check something. Therefore, the technology is very useful, but it has that a control with that.
DeleteDIEGO RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ :D
Wise words, Geisha. However, limiting the time is parents' duty. And you are right, I have seen lots of teenagers whose only purpose in life is having internet. They do not have goals anymore. It is true, Diego. Technology is very useful, but dangerous at the same time.
DeleteI think that this video is very useful for everyone because it is true that the advances of technology have been a great tool for the development of the communication of human beings, but in turn affected us so much that we can not imagine our life without using technology. I find interesting that the video does not only speak of addiction of the technology but also talk about how we can avoid this addiction to technology in certain situation, such as when talking to someone face to face or even when we are prepared to sleep. Nathaly Molina
ReplyDeleteSometimes people prefer texting even if they are in the same room or within a short distance.
DeleteALEX MITE: Well, this video is another form to prevent teenagers not to use excessively technology that is like another evil of our society. It is amazing the amount of smathphones only in that part of the world.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had my first Blackberry the first two months I was an addicted. Then I started to pay less and less attention and I did what the video says "Leave your devices, go out to see the world and enjoy it". My last addiction was Twitter but fortunately, I got it over. I just go in, tweet, and go out. I am regenerated!
The video shows some tips to reduce the use of electronic devices that in my opinion, everybody knows them however, they are good yet. I would like to emphasize on "step 2", I believe in the power of the mouth or the tongue. While better you socialize with others you will be better considerated and taken into accoun (This + knowledge + education= the success's secret).
Thanks for your opinion. Very smart!
DeleteI think that is one of the best videos that I have seen. Because nowadays people spend your time on social network. It's amazing how we prefer to search the internet some information that to go to library. I'm agree with four advise, teenagers should be disconnected for a moment of the technology and should do another activities like exercise, help people, pay more attention in studies. In my opinion, I am not addict of technology, I think that if we use with responsability we will know the true benefits of the technology. Katherine Arias :)
ReplyDeleteIt's true. Teenagers should disconnect from technology. Unfortunately, most parents do not make them do it.
DeleteDisconecting from technology is one of the benefits that people should follow in order to share with those are around them and also actually they love and fond of the eviroment that they see every day. So people who had that problem could pay more attention of what other persons say when they talk about whatever subject or theme. The problem is not technology , is How do you use technology in your daily routine? What are the advantages and disadvantages of technology? ect.... It seems technology has caught people's life and they are more dependent in it, nowadays, and waste their time in unnecessaries things. It is going to be a little dificult but the must try to deal wiht it and use it in other ways which does not affect people's life . If people use it to figure out of what they wanted to know in some fiels that they consider to get information to meet their needs, I think is a good idea, but at the same time a bad idea, It is trying to waste your time in other people who you dont care so much. Remember time is so limited in your life, to be careful with it. you can do more than you thought.
ReplyDeleteI agree: technology is not the problem, we are the problem!
DeleteI agree with your comment, we are the problem but not the technology. Today we abuse of the easiness that gives us the technology and generate an addiction to use our cellphones , computer, internet, etc.. So the technology is good, useful and necessary in the world in which we live because without it we could not do most of the things we do every day, but as long as this is used moderately.

It is a little funny and very useful video. Some persons are addicted to the teconology in special social networks and this video show how you can use time to do something. Also i have met a friend that he have his cellphone evertime and use it such as eating. sleeping, talking to someone time. Moreover that the tecnology aislum of people so it damages ur healthy and became you very dependient of that including the computers because it is too tecnology advice. In brief,This video could be a big help for people to reduce the use time of tecnology in special the Internet.

I agree: Some people depend more in social networks to know other peoples life and critize or judge them in a bad way, likewise internet is a wide field in which people can find diferentes resources to use appropiately internet. Juan Alvarado
DeleteThanks for your valuable points of view!
DeleteI am hot ... please contact me to 0987654321 :D
ReplyDeleteAnd this is a clear example how technology is not used properly!
Deletejajaj thats right Mr. nowadays most of teenager dont know what to do with the internet or how to use it properly :)
DeleteI think that a lot of people are abusing of the technology, and they become an addict because they don´t control themselves. For example, many teenagers prefer chating in class than paying attention to it. It is perjudicial, but they do it because they just want to use their cellphones or any technological product. Some solutions for that, is that the parents keep the their children´s cellphones, or motivate them to do any sport that be interactived, you can make new relationships in the places where you go, or also you can spend more time with your family and friends. People need to do many important activities to be happy like studying, working, doing sports, but they don´t need to use the technology at all.
ReplyDeleteBy Mariella Velasco.
Thanks for your advice, Mariella. It is tru. Most teenagers don't do outdoors activities.
DeleteTechnology can help us with many of our daily activities, but it is not correct to use technological devices for many hours of the day. This video is very useful to a lot of people especialy teenagers who are the most common with this problem, they should be disconnected for a moment of technology and should do another activities like exercise or read. I am not addict of technology and I do not know any person like that. I think we can not avoid the use of technology but we need to be carefull with it.
ReplyDeleteAdriana Sobrevilla
But how can we get disconnected? That's the question!
DeleteWe need to use tecnology only if it's necessary and spend more time in another activities.
DeleteAdriana Sobrevilla
It is kind of amazing, that in 2012 young kids from 13-17 had smarthphones, in that age I was doing something else, instead of sending a tweet of posting something on facebook, come on ! I am 19 years old and I don´t have anything to tweet yet, but obviously, I had one, I have a smartphone, because I need it, to contact with my dad while we are working, with my classmates of college because I am the team leader of a small group, in microeconomics, I stay in touch with my best friend, and yes, I love Instagram; nevertheless, I am not on-line all the time, I have my own space, I control my life, not a divice, my advice for these case is that, if you are some of that guys how likes to spend hours on your smartphone turn it down for a while and think, How many do you wasted being on-line? you are gonna realized that you are 40 years old
ReplyDeletehahahahaha... I had a good time reading your post! It is true... it might be too late when we decide to put away our cell phones!
DeleteTechnology provides a way of communication but is becoming the only way to communicate with today’s youth because it has made one on one interaction less frequent and has made a negative effect on the social abilities of the youth.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is a great way to stay entertained but it is disconnecting people. Today’s Internet users have many ways to be occupied online. These days we have the ability to communicate on websites like facebook, ways to watch TV shows and clips mostly on YouTube, and play entertaining games like on addictinggames, all while on the computer. And we wonder why we have no in person friendships and dysfunctional families.

DeleteTechnology is so important and necessary, but people overuse and change this meaning. It is true it joins some families but it can also destroy them.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, technology is used to communicate, help people, make life easier. For example,
When teenagers don't know some topics from highschool, they can search more on the Internet and their doubts will disappear. But usually, they only use it for chatting, or wasting time and it turns into an addiction.
Finally, we should keep in mind how to use technology in a good way, not wasting time, trying to stop this addiction and understand the time we spend with our family is better than chatting.

Well I agree with you my dear friend because internet and tecnology can help us or destroy us but I think that its up to us no to use the internet in a bad way,I f just we know how to use it so We wont any problem with the internet at all...........
DeleteBy Sally Villegas S...
Very smart girls! Everything has a bad side. Internet is not the exception. It is up to us to use it properly.
DeleteThis is my third post. ES
Deletewell from my point of view I think that this video is pretty usefull and funny as well... Nowadays there are a lot of people addicted to their cellphone and specially social pages that are very common in our daily life...I mean that there are people that can not live with out their cellphones a consequence of that is most of people in special teenager can not establish a conversation in person soy they might lost friends but on the other hand Actually the tecnology is very meaningful in any field.
ReplyDeleteso we have to keep in mind that we should use the internet and cellphones intelligently not overuse them.... :)
By Sally Villegas S
Yes, but I insist it is parents' responsibility to control them.
DeleteI think that technology is a good tool for teenagers but the problem is that we do not know how to use it. This video show us how technology has affected in the life social of teengers like ignore people when they are chating or checking their socials networks for example facebook , instagram , etc. On the other hand it give us some advices about how to leave the techonlogy addiction, although I am addicted of it, for instance teengers have to hang out with their friends , play any game , not sleep with cellphone near of you my mom always tell me it. In conclusion this adivices can help us to be less addicted of technology and understand that world is not in a cellphone the world is outside and we have to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWell, you have accomplished the first step: you have admitted you have a problem!
DeleteAellen Dominguez
ReplyDeleteTechnology is so necessary nowadays. We can’t deny it.
But we abuse this source. Although we know that computers and internet should be used properly, we don’t do it and this can cause a lot of bad effects on us.
Technology can make us stop going outside or doing exercise or some more “productive” things.
But, I should mention than there’s a good side of using technology. We can search information on the internet, doing homework like that. Anyway, the point of using technology is to use it but right. In the right, not all day long but certain periods of time.
This is my second post.
DeleteToday technology has brought a lot of changes in our lives, especially in communication as shown in the video. Today, we do not need to meet them face to face or to say what is on our mind. However, it also has many disadvantages because nowadays meetings, between friends or family, in my opinion are not the same, everyone is on their cell phones reviewing or updating social networks, posting photos of what they eat or do, so what generated that true communication is lost, we should just give a better use of technology, we must use moderately and at the right time.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn Lalangui
They even text or mail bad news when they should be told personally.
DeleteReally I felt identify to this video because I admite that when I don´t have a cellphone or internet I need, or when I don´t check my whatsapp and my networks, I feel concerned, but now all of these things change because after several months I notice that the internet is not all of the life, my family, my friends, the people that are around me are more important than the internet or be online.Today I check my networks but measurably because I haven´t interest to check them as
ReplyDeletebefore, as say a expression all things tired in the life
Wow I think that this video can help you for disconnecting so follow the steps and you can say to the world that you don´t use to much the cell phone and the people and stay more time with your family is an another step for disconnecting from the technology so good luck and I hope everything goes well you
DeleteJennifer Cristyn:I'm sure that more than one of our society will feel identified with this video,Nowdayd it's a actuallly problem both a tennager as an adults because many people have cellphone and a different kind of technology.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel indentifed becasuse i don't consider vicious, I like to go away, take walks, talking in personally, write letters and read a book.
Actually Read a books is not common , many people has forgetten the book since the technology appear.
Techonoly also have advantages and disadvantages.
Well I think that with this step people can disconnecting from technology but I don't feel indentifed with this video because I like to go away and interact with people make a new friends but i don¨t use to much the technology expect for do homework or sometime play with my friend but no more than 2 hours. And use the technology moderately :D
ReplyDeleteWell i think we have to control how much time we spend with technology because then we cannot take away, so we have to control it , and I feel indentifed because it's difficult to me leave my cellphone or laptop and it's very hard, but we have to make awareness and control it.

ReplyDeletetechnology currently helps people so that we can make our job easier for example to communicate with people from different countries, take photos, videos, etc.. but many people are driven by this phenomenon and they become addicted to this. I do not conoco personad addicted to technology, but I have heard that when people do not know this and begin to enter this world, they know not to use this with liability. I do not concidero addicted to technology person and I use it when necessary. my advice is do not be carried away by the technology because it might look funny but after a while could become a disease.
