The impact of technology in our lives

Technology has been a big revolution and has affected our society and our surroundings in different ways.

Firstly because it has helped a lot to do researches in medicine which is really important. And cars and means of transport in general have also evolved: they are now safer than years ago which is really positive(there are less accidents). Technology has also affected the economy which has at the same time improved. Then, computers and mobile phones, for example, have also helped to have a better communication between people(friends of other countries,family..).We don't use to think that technology has changed our lives but we cannot imagine our lives without it, can we?

It is difficult to say if technology is a positive or negative thing but we can deduce that if we live better than before and the medicine has evolved (which is, in my opinion, the most important ) it is more positive than negative isn't it? However, nowadays, we depend on it so much that it is becoming a problem because we are going to end up by not to know how to solve our problemas without technology.
Children for example spend too much time on computers and less time in studying or reading.
In addition, cars, planes, industries(which are part of technology) etc.. have helped us to have a better life but at the same time pollute the atmosphere which is a big problem to our earth.
And what about wars? Powerful countries, are using technology to make dangerous guns as the nuclear bomb and this isn't so positive. It is negative!

In conclusion, I can say that the impact of technology on our society has been a positive thing in general but now there is too much technology everywhere and in my opinion it has many desadvantages.

I’ve found a video on youtube about the impact of technology on our society which I really enjoyed. It’s short and interesting. The video is ironical in order to show that with technology we communicate immediately with people everywhere (all around the world) but at the same time, we become anti-social and ignorant of the people in our immediate surroundings even if they are in front of us.
