It is true that the technological world does have a lot of benefits for everyone, though there are some downfalls related to this period. Your life is most likely influenced by technology in one way or another, and without a doubt technology has also made society somewhat unfriendly (Pheifer).When one speaks on the influence of technology on humanity, it is always about the positive effects of technology , and on how technology has brought comfort to life but does not remember that luxury has also brought in the laziness of people. As technology continues to advances people are starting to become more and more reliant upon it. Dependent of technology causes the human race to become sluggish, unable to think for themselves and impatient. Because one has become so engaged with their schedule that involves technology, face to face meetings has become a concern (Corkern).

Examples of how technology has caused us rather than benefit us: .  · **Communication **-- Younger generations have forgotten how to spell and write in complete sentences due to the massive use of text messaging (Corkern)  · **Computers **--We depend on computers too trustingly; one can lose tons of data if the system crash and there’s no backups (Pheifer)  · **Eating **--People have relied so much on ordering food online that they tend to not get out of the homes ("How Tech")  · **Obsession **--Technology entertainments can hold us back from enjoying life. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Before the introduction of television and internet, people have ways of having fun everyday together.

Thus, more complicated and frustrating ("How Tech"). <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Time consuming **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">--Technology is making us so busy that we can’t even find time to spend with our love ones (Oak). <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Business Competition **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">--When a city builds more roads to attract tourists, the result is more traffic. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Transportation **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">-- <span style="background: lime; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">automobiles cause pollution ("How Tech")
