Is Technology Good or Bad? Take an In-Depth Look

Technology has become ubiquitous, with devices like smartphones, laptops, and TVs being commonplace, as well as more subtle forms of technology that we may not even notice. It’s clear that technology is here to stay, and we must learn to adapt to it. When we become proficient in using technology, it can greatly enhance our lives. However, technology can also present challenges, and whether it has a positive or negative impact on our lives depends on how we choose to use it.

How Does Technology Affect Us? Discuss and Record Your Thoughts

It’s likely that your students only view technology in a positive light, focusing on its novelty and entertainment value rather than its potential dangers and drawbacks.

By engaging in this exercise, students can develop a more balanced perspective on technology.
