Effect+technology+has+on+society

We look at the world today and think of how far technology has come. Our world is continually evolving more and more into an internet/compute based society. With the current technology you would never have to leave your home and you could live pretty comfortably. However, not everything is as good as it seems. Although technology has been evolving the morals and social skills of society have been decreasing. Technology has been advancing since the beginning of time. The technology that we are more familiar with started to appear in the early 1900s. Back then things were huge and families were lucky if they owned even one radio or one television set. The things we have today that we take for granted would be considered a wonder to those people. We have phones that pretty much act like a very portable computer; compared to the computers that took up entire rooms and had screens almost just as small. We have the ability to communicate with people all over the world to play games, set up business deals, or just to talk to them. Also, traveling anywhere in the world is a matter of, at most, a couple of days when it took our ancestors months at a time. To say we are a technological society would be a gross understatement and yet with all our fancy gadgets can we be devolving in society? For all the wonders that technology can bring to our lives there is a dark side. So many people today think that they can play video games, surf the internet, or chat with someone online without having it affect them at all. However, this is far from the truth. If you think about what you have access to at the touch of the button or the click of a mouse it can sometimes be scary. Studies have shown that what you view and listen to affect what you think about and what you will do. Criminals admit that a lot of raping and things like that were a direct result from internet usage. With phones and internet there is no need for people to talk face to face and so our ability to socially communicate is declining. The internet can be a good thing and yet if we are not careful it will completely destroy our society. []
