Life Revolved Around Technology Have you ever thought to yourself, “what if we lived in a life with no technology?”. Throughout time, technology has provided ways to advance medicine, ways to provide jobs for people around the world, and ways to change the way we live our everyday lives. But could you imagine going through the day without technology like a computer or the internet. I know I couldn’t. Technology has provided ways of improving how we live our everyday lives and in some ways, it has helped us live long, healthy lives. As each day passes by, technology finds new ways to evolve and become more advanced than I would have ever expected.

You can watch just about anything on television ranging from sports to drama reality shows and even movies that were in theaters. So many people come home from a long day at work or school and relax by turning the television on and watching their favorite show or sports team. This has been a well-known habit for many people around the world for a really long time. For example, after doing homework and cleaning around the house, I find that watching television for a few hours or watching Netflix can really relax my body and tune out the world for a short period of time. Taking away this entertainment and relaxation from people would have a big impact on what people do on a daily basis. Living in a world without television would have a huge impact on the world as far as entertainment. Television has some good things and bad things about it but living in a world without it could make people more motivated to do things and make them less lazy.

Social media has had a negative impact on today’s society because it distracts people from things like school work, their job, or even their relationship. In her essay I Tweet, Therefor I am, author Peggy Orenstein states that “Sherry Turkle, a professor at M.I.T., interviewed more than 400 children and parents about their use of social media and cellphones. Among young people especially she found that the self was increasingly becoming externally manufactured rather than internally developed: a series of profiles to be sculptured and refined in response to public opinion.” (253). The use of social media has allowed people to create a fake image of themselves and allow them to “edit” who they are or what they say. If social media applications did not exist, everyone would be force to have normal conversations with one another and allow each other to express who they really are instead of on a social media app. For example,
