Disconnecting from Technology
Hey guys! I just found a nice video someone you know might desperately need
to watch. Although technology has helped us in several ways, it has
also affected our lives negatively. 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 them or yourself overcome this problem?
Is any of the advice provided in the video helpful? What other advice
would you include? Share your
experience! Looking forward to reading your comments, JMC

Technology is necessary until point!!!!, I believe that technology is very useful in some work or activities. For example, when you do not live with your mother o family is cheaper to use some program on the internet than telephone. Though, people are becoming in addicted in the use of it, it can cause big problem as antisocial or dependent of the technology, then they will not be able to solve real problem in their life. I do not like to spend a lot of time in the technology. I prefer enjoy the moment and not be worried about take a photo or be connected in social medias. I have never helped somebody with this problem, but if i have the opportunity to do it, i would do. My first step would be going to the a camp without signal, so person will not be connected on internet. Second, i would try to put away between the person and technology, because person needs to be away with any type of technology as television, radio or anything actual. Finally, i always would be with he o she, and i do not permit that person spends time in it, but person spend time with me doing exercise or playing.

Nowadays, technology have had a big increase in a very quickly way. We have to recognize that it's helpful in activities such as: at work, on researchs and in the communication. However, this advance on technology many times have caused addictions in people even causing that people forget the sense of life and the important details like family and friends. Actually I have never seen the case of addiction on a close friend but it doesn't mean that it can't occur. I believe that all things in excess have bad consequences so we always need to find a balance. Kathia Zuñiga
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I think technology is an amazing source of communication, a way to search information, to play. It has helped man in reducing the effort needed to do some monotonous tasks. However, it is not so great if someone uses it too much that she/he can not focus on what is happening around her/his life. Second, I have never met someone with a technological addiction, but if I ever know someone who has it, I would help him by talking, giving advices, or taking away his cellphone, computer, laptop, etc. In conclusion, Technology has positive and negative aspects, but everything depends on how you use it, everything is bad in excess.

Technology addiction is one of the growing problems that most of the people that I have known have. Technology is used in so many things that it is becoming more and more common for people all around the world to become addicted to it. Honestly, I consider myself an addictive person of technology because I can’t live without my phone or without internet. I am concerned about my addictive problems, but I am trying to stop it by doing other things like going out with my friends or doing some excercise. It has helped me a little but I can’t stop checking at my phone passing three minutes. However, I use it to do useful things too, like reading, searching important things for my school, and even for improving my English. I think this is a very important topic for us to discuss, so other can be aware that if they use the technology in excess, they could have a serious problem of addiction.

Technology is a great way to keep in touch with the people we love, but it can also be a way to become distant from them, Technology has improved a lot in the latest years, but human race not. Instead of using it for researching or things we really need, we use it for entertainment, for gossiping and, in general, for unnecesary things. How really important is to see how many likes you got on your profile photo on facebook? How really important is to see how many followers have you got this week? To conclude, I have to say that technology might have been created for other purposes, but we are using it in the incorrect form.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is an important tool in our life, with technology we can look for things we don't understand or for things that are new such as issues, subjects, topics, etc. We need to consider that technology has advantages and disadvantages that can self- improve or self- destroy us.
ReplyDeleteOne advantage I consider that is the most important is the fastest way to comunicate with our pen pals or friends that are far away, with a click you can write or telling to that person how we are.
On the other hand, I consider that technology is extremely dangerous when you don't know how to use it in a correctly way, you can be part of being a victim of cyberbullying or gossips which are a waste of time.
In conclusion, we need to think carefully about what we see on the Internet and the content it has, if you know how to use it in a successful way, you will improve as a student a lot. ------Mariuxi Andrade.
On these days techonology has became a important part in our lifes and this is because we are dependable to our smartphone, tablet, laptop o whatever we have. Is true, we need then in many aspects of our lifes but we don' t have to use them all time. Some people say technology helps you to be in contac with your friends of the other side of the world but it also separet you from the family or friends whose are next you! For example I have my brother, he is all day in the laptop or play station, he just come out form the run if he want to eat or drink water. When we are in family he is always wiht the headphones, so is like he weren't there and this also afect other aspects in his life. He is 18 and he doesn' t has a part-time job, so my father give hin $4 everyday and he take that money for buy video games!!! Technology is an important part of our lifes but have to sure we control the machine and not the machine control us. Geovanna Loor
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, technology is a vice such as drugs or alcohol. at the beginning, we say that we will not become addicted but that phrase can become our cross. The highest percentage have the young adults and adolescents with money. Because with money they can buy internet service and spend all day in their cell. So, I can give some advice to my colleagues, have a schedule, do not spend much time with technology unless this is necessary for tasks. - William Escobar
ReplyDeletenowadays technology has become so addicted that most of activities are related to use the technology in everyway as home,work,exercise,reading,ect.....because has become in a global way to learn or search everything,but sometimes there is people that use it excessively as the use of smartphones or tablets as way to relate or start a relationship with someone by messages or maybe to be the only one that can't relate with someone because of the excessive use of that thing that can't let you go or that you can't let go and maybe to stop the addiction to that thing should be to replace it for a hobbit that might be good for you .__by william romero
ReplyDeleteI think that the technology affect negatively our lifes because before the greatest hits of the smartphones the people spend hours and hours talking but actually the people wasted their time on fecebook, or chating,
ReplyDeleteI never meet someone who is addict to the technology and I am not an addict of the technology,
But , If someday I meet someone that has an addiction to the technology I would talk to him becuase he or she will have a problem after some years.

DeleteI think that technology is used by million of people around the world for their daly life and it depends on each person what we do on internet. Technology helps peolpe to communicate, if we want to talk with someone that is far of us we can do it. In addition, we can search information easily or just for funlike watch movies, musical videos, etc. however, some people become addicted ; I have never met someone addicted to internet ; I try not to use a lot of technologycal devises. Finally, technologycal devises are useful resources but we have to use it with responsability.
