Brain storm

In my previous essay I got into technology. Many could find that boring but I do feel it’s a problem in my generation. I will continue to get into detail, maybe make it a little interesting. We all realize that technology is such a huge problem in our world today. But what is so bad about it ? it’s a good resource we can use. We’re all addicted to our cellular devices that some can’t live without. It’s like a drug to us the more we use it the more we want it. Not many people are aware of how damaging technology can be to our brains, before i continue to give you all the negative things about it , i can say it has helped me throughout my school years and many of us who weren’t sure about an answer and we quickly had to search it up or even a simple question we had. I had to brainstorm a bit of ideas for this upcoming essay to try to top my last one. I might’ve not put much effort, for my first genre I will provide a video or a slide if it’s acceptable. This will be a great way to give the readers a visual concept of my information on technology. It’s like virtual learning. We prefer to have zoom calls rather than our professors giving us a lot of work. We like to engage. My second genre would be using pictures of actual numbers on how technology is good and bad for us. This will give them an idea of how effective technology can be for many of us our visual learners, so it will definitely be a good idea to show. Lastly i believe more information on technology using actual examples that are going on in our world so everyone can be aware of it and get a deeper understanding of what i want to talk about.

As technology continues to advance, how can technology help our world emerge stronger with its pros and cons? Technology affects the way people learn and think. It helps society interact with each other on a day-to-day basis. Technology plays an important role in society today. It has positive and negative effects on the world which impacts daily lives. We are living in an era where technology is always advancing; it is common in the new generation. The internet and phones are great resources for us to use but it also has a downside to it. Technology that has a great impact on society is how it affects learning. It’s made learning more interactive and collaborative. This helps people better engage with the material that they are learning or have trouble with. The creation of the internet gives us access to information at twenty-four hours giving us access to almost anything online. People can access learning through YouTube and social media now, helping them learn better than having to sit down for hours listening to a lecture or read textbooks. These technological advancements made learning more fun and convenient for many of us having to do remote learninghttps://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2019/10/08/current-technology-only-manages-to-complicate-things/?sh=4b0ae5237846

Technology is letting people do more things than we expected in many years. We’ve made technology much more complicated than it needs to be. The solution to the problem of technology complications is looking for the most features rather than looking to see how it can be much easier to use. A simple shift in our mindset goes along with it. When we start to look past all these cool features these devices can catch our eye. We need to keep in mind how something can suit us. Simplicity is what many people try to find on these devices, how you can make us grow, and how it can help communicate with others. That needs to find a way to get rid of these complexities can help us find our lives much better.

 I believe that technology over time has improved our lives and made it much easier. Technology is another good resource we use daily. If we were to compare the way we live today and how life was a few years back we will notice how much technology has transformed our lives. It has given us a lot of freedom and helps us save time. It is not possible to give one particular type of technology credit for all this change. How much the economy of a nation has grown can be measured by the level of technology that they have achieved to make. This is all to the fact that various factors affect how an individual lives. The more technology continues to advance will only benefit us. 

This was a good choice of genre because it is telling us the transformation of technology over time, how rapidly it’s changing and convenient for our lives without us even realizing it. We’re sometimes selfish of all this technology that we have that makes us want more of it when years back people would have to go find books at a library to get their question answered or at least some information on it. 

Technology is changing not only our relationship with nature but people in general as technology continues to advance we become much more distant from our environment. There are many inside gaming or sport-related things that kids back in the day didn’t know of or simply never existed. They would grab a ball or even rocks and play outside. Nowadays it’s much easier to pull out our phone and search for activities we can do that are indoors. Technology is making our lives much scarier creating these VR nature stimulations making us think we’re outdoors but in reality, it’s all an illusion. How effective can that be to our minds when now anything can be a stimulation.

https://qz.com/1048433/technology-is-changing-our-relationship-with-nature-as-we-know-it/ During this pandemic it was very hard for many of us. Many lost jobs and family members. Due to COVID many of us were stuck home for over a year with nothing to do. It was a very difficult moment being that not many of us were fortunate to have a backyard and exercise. Technology became a huge role during this period including me, I played sports boxing and played soccer. I honestly didn’t have much time in my hands being that I had a busy schedule school than training. When COVID hit hard it was unexpected I had to stop going to the gym and the field it was a scary moment seeing everyone with mask and gloves this is where technology became a huge problem in my life I started to play much more video games than the usual being on social media than what I normally would be honest I even had to get glasses. As soon as things started to open I was excited but it was some sort of weird excitement that I had. I don’t know how to describe it to this day. I don’t go out much unless it’s to the grocery store or work. Sports were thrown out of the picture. I gained a lot of weight and gaming became something I like. Technology is much more powerful than we think it can take over our very damaging mind. Giving us that illusion of being somewhere or doing something can make us do stupid things. For example, in school shootings, it’s proven that many play shooting games who don’t want to own an M-16 or a rifle but carry it around and shoot innocent people? What sense does that make?

This helps us realize that possibly in 10 or 20 years we will live in a virtual world if technology continues to advance and is used in the wrong way. Could we stop it? No, but we can control it.

This helps us realize that possibly in 10 or 20 years we will live in a virtual world if technology continues to advance and is used in the wrong way. Could we stop it? No, but we can control it.

As we speak on Technology improving every single day these products and machines are not made on their own there are humans manufacturing these things. Without human brains, many of these things would not exist although we see that companies don’t need human labor these machines are working for them and replacing them. 

I truly believe that a machine can substitute human labor when it can produce more than the worker for the same cost or as much as the worker for a fraction of the price. likely to occur when a worker’s tasks are routines when the instructions for the tasks can be translated into code for a computer to carry out. automation is more able to replace workers in simplified, controlled environments. While computers can perform the most complex calculations in milliseconds, it is much more difficult to get a machine to write novels or care for children as effectively as humans do. How will humans survive if they are jobless? Unless you’re an inventor then you can contribute in some way to make these machines. Fast food places have screens where you can order instead of speaking to a worker, many supermarkets have self-checkout. We can see that technology is slowly taking over our lives and jobs. We could work for machines may be decades from now if we don’t experience that maybe our kids will.

The author chose this genre and decided to inform us about this because it keeps the world aware that machines are taking over. We can find ways to not let us affect us. 

 Technology has taken away our freedom. This generation has become very dependent on calculators and GPS systems to make our lives simpler. As technology advances we must go at its pace if not we will stay behind Technology is becoming the downfall of our society because people are no longer able to practice two of the most important things in life math and being able to read a map. Technology has made our society very ignorant to the point that there might be a day when our technology does not work and we cannot live without it. We have grown to rely on our technology to make our lives easier. Our lives will continue to be tough until everyone learned to live without it.
