Abstract
This research paper studies four scholarly journal articles that have been peer reviewed about how technology advances society. These journal articles will show the advantages and disadvantages about technology, and explain why technology is necessary for our society in the present and how it will help us in our future. The articles also explain various scenarios such as computer, cellphones, video games, and medical treatment and how it has changed from the previous generation to now. Technology helps people think about the future and be a few steps ahead. In a high tech generation, technology is used in everything we do. Children born in this generation find technology easy to pick up and use such as videogames, tablets, and computers. …show more content…

McAlister also discuss how pedophiles can collect photos and videos of their victims and can save these files in the comfort of their own homes using a desktop computer or a laptops without anyone knowing (McCartan & McAlister, 2012). In the article, it explains the ways that pedophiles are being more discreet by creating false accounts with false pictures to draw in their victims and to stalk them.
