Caden Reynolds Assignment 2

In modern society, technology is a growing factor in all of our lives. From when we wake up to the sound of our alarm clock, to going to watch some morning television, to getting the GPS directions to where you are going that day.  Us as humans have an attachment to technology and we rely on it to control our lives. I never go a day without using technology and I doubt there will be a day that I don't.

          Many people believe our modern society relies on technology more than we should. I disagree, every day technology positively impacts me. I feel they fail to recognize the good qualities that come from technology. I consider myself a very curious person and I find myself googling whatever I am thinking about at the moment very often. In the past, people would rely on books or their own knowledge to complete schoolwork. Today, everything has changed, I may be assigned a paper on the life of Abraham Lincoln. Instead of having to go to the library and buy books on Lincoln, I have all the information I need right at my fingertips.

Technology allows you to connect with anyone and everything whenever you want. I communicate with friends everyday through a quick text, call, snapchat, dm, etc. It allows humans to be more globalized. As an American teenager, one would assume that I use my phone a lot for social media purposes. I enjoy to keep up with modern trends and following what is going on in the world. All of my classes have a smart board, and advanced technological tool used by many schools in America because it positively impacts their students.

                I would say overall, technology impacts my life positively every day. I can’t imagine my life without the use of technology.
