Imagine you are looking over the world right now from God’s point of view. You can see every place ever invented like Africa, China, Paris, etc. As you look, almost every community has technology involved in some way. Now try to imagine yourself in the future. What do you see? The world has been taken over by machines. No visible human is left standing and people have become machines. That is what will be left of our world if we let technology keep improving like it is. Technology is advancing as we speak and before we know it, humans will be able to move something just by thinking about it.

Technology has its flaws and it can take the place of people.
In addition, technology has an impact on the way people think and do things in a negative way. For instance, in the article “Modern technology is changing the way our brains work” by Susan Greenfield, it says “Attention spans are shorter, personal communication skills are reduced and there’s a marked reduction in the ability to think abstractly” (3).

Although that side is right, technology can do things for people, they are wrong because in Modern technology is changing the way our brains work, it says that “...the infinitely complex network of nerve cells that make up the constituent parts of the brain actually changes in response to certain experiences and stimuli.” This shows that what you do to your brain can hurt it because you are exposing it to these very harsh conditions. Machines are not people. They do not know how to control themselves. We need to learn when to shut it
