Technology comes with a lot of positive attributes and negative attributes, it depends on how you look at it. I consider technology as a whole, a positive part of our growth as a world. Although, a lot of negativity comes along with it, technology has allowed many things to be possible. For example, yesterday I was put on bed rest for who knows how long, and I was able to contact my boss as well as my instructors to let them know I am unable to attend class/work. Without technology I would have used valuable recover time to go walk around and let them know. Using social media is the majority of where technology has its downfalls. For example, social media has allowed for more bullying, theft, and hate crime around the world. We have the ability to cut back on all of the hatred, but it would be difficult. Technology has allowed us to progress on so many levels it is not fair for us to only recognize how we have an increase in bullying and hate crimes, without technology we wouldn't have the ability to watch the news that is telling us about these hate crimes.
