Technology affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It helps define society and determines how one interacts with others on a daily basis.
Technology has both positive and negative affects on society including the possible improvement or declination of society. Society is defined as, “the sum of social relationships among human beings” and technology is defined as, “the body of knowledge available to a civilization that is of use in fashioning implements, practicing manual arts and skills, and extracting or collecting materials.” Technology shapes our society and has both positive and negative affects.
One aspect of technology that has had great impact upon society is mechanical inventions. Before machines were invented everything had to be handmade. For example, before automobiles were invented many citizens’ means of transportation was the wagon. While the automobile industry did eliminate the need for individuals whose occupation was making wagons, it also created numerous job opportunities including work in factories and on assembly lines.
The obvious positive affect of such a change was the efficiency such inventions created in the lives of everyday citizens. However, as is the case with any change, society had to reevaluate the traditions that had for so long been in place, creating a sense of tension and unrest for those not ready for the change. This is only one example of how technology has affected society both positively and negatively.
Technology has made huge advancements in the way that we communicate with others. Phones, e-mails, instant messenger, and the Internet are all a part of the technology today’s citizens take for granted. However, with these new and improved forms of communication and information accessing comes unforeseen problems and glitches. The Internet, while making all information only a click away, has also had negative affects on society.

It is a very interesting publication that makes us reflect on the relationship of the technology in our society. Knowing that in this age there are new trend of technology that help improve our lifestyle in different areas for example has influenced mechanical inventions, it facilitates communication through social networks. I agree with this article because the use of technology has negative and positive effects that can affect society and that each person is responsible for how to use new technology trends.
ResponderBorrarWell, I start saying that I'm completely agree with the essay about that technology has positive and negative effects. Unfortunately it seems to be more negative effects that positive, this depends on how humans used the resources that we have. This means that technology is good, and there are a lot of examples that shows us how technology has modified the way we live, communicate and behave. Technology has changed our world, and the differents areas such as education, but if we analyze and compare the between the positive and negative effects, the negative things are worst and more that the good ones, this is because humans used the good things to do the evil against the humans itself. That let us to think deeply about how responsable we are of use technology appropriately.
ResponderBorrarMy opinion about this text is than technology us can help in alot of situation and diferent problem beucase is a tool easer to used for example in the school help to the teacher and student to update it is a form positive for to learn more in the education.
ResponderBorrarThe negative is than in the technology there are alot of distraction for the children and student and sometime they do the howework in there notebook.
I am agree with the technology because is 60% ecology, and i am desagre because the internet no is free all time.
I think technology is a very important tool for human beings, but depends on the use that the people give it which determines positive or negative effects in life. Like it is mentioned in the examples we can do different activities with efficiency using technology for example companies use machines intead of using handmade. This helps them to save time and money. But it also has negative effect people who worked in the companies were replaced by those machines. Not only in mechanical invention technology has helped but also in other areas such as education and communication. Students can use internet to find useful information or simplily for entertainment.
ResponderBorrarI agree with the essay because I consider technology has advantages and disadvantages; sometimes it can facilitate some activities or it can do that people waste time; it will depend on the appropiate way we use technology.

ResponderBorrarI agree with the article when says that technology has positive and negative effects, but it depends on how humans use it, technological advances seek to improve and contribute to the development of societies.
ResponderBorrarIt is important to be prepared for the technological changes that arise every day because so we will be more efficient in our work.
As with every advancement within culture and society, there are positive and negative influences. Technology has opened the world of communication in a way before inexperienced. It also allows for more tasks to be completed in less time. In essence, technology has made the world smaller. The danger is when we get so reliant on technology that we cease to do things ourselves, limiting our activity and interaction with the world around us. I consider that the technology is a wonderful tool that is supposed to help humans improve their life quality but always we have to keep in mind use the technology in the correct way without not let the technology take up our social life and interpersonal relationships with others.
ResponderBorrarWell, i agree with the articule it is true that technology has positive and negative effects but it's depends how the person use the technology because helps in a lot things and now the technology is indispensable but we must use the best way
ResponderBorrarWe have at our disposal one of the best tools ever invented to make our lives easier and practical "technology." But also, we need to have control over it and not let it control us, since it is what is happening today with the technology in our society, imprisons us every day.
ResponderBorrarI think that technology is an indicator of the degree of development of a society, but I am in total agreement with the article as that technology affects positively and negatively if we not use it properly. Adversely affected because people depend too much on it and forget the family, spiritual, social and even personal side; children no longer converse with parents and spend a lot of time depending on the technology, becoming addicts.
And of positively because in all areas it helps us to make our work easier and faster. Technology is great if we make good use of it.
My opinion about this post is that it is true because technology has changed over the time and society has had to adapt to these changes, so people is the only responsible about in what ways we´re going to use new technologies and also is true that has bad and good adventages but for me are more the good things that it has, all depend how we want to see it or take it. Thats why i´m agree because if we use in the best way it will be useful for all.

ResponderBorrarWell. This means that technology is good and that can modified our live. When we used to learn and we have to teach. Technology has changed our work for education and our work too. That let us to think deeply how responsable we are of use technology. The technology is great if we make good use of it.
ResponderBorrarI agree with what this article because the technology has negative and positive impacts on society, this has become either for better or for worse and for us and indispensable as we are accustomed to a lifestyle where technology is a major role in our social environment. Technology is neither good nor bad this depends on the use we make of it because it has its advantages and disadvantages always ...
ResponderBorrarIn my opinion the technology is of great importance to humans because we have gotten used to it, of course in some respects us affected as in robotics today some machines have replaced people in their jobs leaving more unemployment and more poverty people, as intelligent human beings must learn to adopt the technology with great caution as it is not impossible that this someday supplant us more lies than imagined.
ResponderBorrarIn some ways I agree that the main aid given that this gives us is to communicate with others through telephones or computers, it has also come to significantly improve education, health and security.
I think Technology has both positive and negative affects on society, so Im agree with this essay because this has changed our life in a better way, created numerous job opportunities, many tools , programs etc we can do whatever we want but the wrong way is we become our life comfortable just with a click we dont work hard.
ResponderBorrarAnswer #1
ResponderBorrarFirstly, like everything in our universe has an origin in which as readers we can handle a simple relationship between it. It is as important as technology in my point of view about the essay. I said: the technology has a positive effect in our humanity the difference is that we are doing a wrong uses in our knowledge. If we take the best choose step by step we will create a better future for us and our next generations.
Answer #2
Iam agree because, the technology has a logical order needs people with relevant ideas to create together. It could be all the society don’t have free access for it but, this is the challenge to find technological people to innovate.
Question 1:
ResponderBorrarI think that every invent along the history is really good, because from any way they they make easier our life, but it´s important pay attention how confortable is our life right now than before. In every field , the technology helps in many ways.
This essay mention how gradually our life is changing in every place from every country. For example, with internet we can connect to other side of the world in seconds. This is only one way how the technology can help us.. and there are many things like those.
Question 2:
I agree, because in my point of view every invent in society has had a possitive result, because technology it applies in many possitive changes,too. But there is an important thing, many people use technology in incorrect form; then, technology become dangerous.
But, if every body would use technology correctly and use every site in internet only with the purpose of educate, I think that we can get many beneffits. Technology has made huge advancements and can change our life in bad way or good way; it depend if we use it correctly .
I think that the technology is replacing the humans in many activities, the machines for example are more efficient doing the hard work, the news are transmit online and it is not necessary to cut the trees to make paper, but the negative effect could be the technological addiction or distraction. I agree with this information because with the different technology applications our activities are easy to do, learn, work and communicate but depend the good or bad use of the technology.
ResponderBorrarIn my personal point of view, in this article is reflected that technology is changing the world everyday, therefore we need to be careful with its use, because it can affect the developing of society, because youngest people have access to it and they become dependent of technology, on the other hand thanks to the technology, people can communicate around the world in an easy way, just enough with push a key, so that I am agree with this article, the technology on society has had both advantages and disadvantages, a great advantage is that through technology the people turn into their lives more easy, because in the past, many people had to do handwork, but with the invention of machines just a few people can make a lot of work, that’s the positive about the use of technology.

ResponderBorrarFor what I can think is that technology has influenced in the lives of most of the people in positive ways as well as negative ways. As it is said that technology brings people who are at a long distance closers to us, but at the same time it keep us away from the ones that are close to us. I'm sure that people can stay close with each other with or without the technology. I agree with the article because everything has both positive and negative impact on the lives of people especially when we talk about technology. If we can learn to use technology to use it as a tool and not like the most important thing in our lives I'm sure we won't fail as humans just depending from technology.
ResponderBorrarANSWER #1:
ResponderBorrarIn my own opinion I would say this essay has very valid points when it says that technology has as positive as negative affects, the technology is one of the greatest innovations we have nowadays, it's really helpfull as usefull but at the same time it can get to the point of affecting the society relatioships, why? well, because in the fake that we communicate more and easilly the reality is that we communicate less than before, and we are losing the personal contact with others...
ANSWER #2:
I do agree with the essay and like a comment I would say that technology has more positive affects than negative ones, the thing or the secret is in us. We are the ones that supposedly manage technology but sadly, the real situation proves that a lifeless thing let's say computers or phones are taking control over us, so in conclusion i would say that the technology's negative affects are made by ourselves...
i think The technology uses a tool for the benefit of human beings but also contributes humans depend much of technology I agree that technology has many benefit check for example develops machines that are used in different areas of work, the most common are the computers, phones, tablet among others but all contribute to the daily life of the human being becomes much easier, is positively, but negatively by the development of technology has affected the environment for example the use of nuclear technology, automobiles, factories among other things that greatly affect the environment where we live by creating or developing many diseases, in the end If we use it for positive things, it will Have positive effect of our lives and vice versa, I'm agree that technology has many advantages and disadvantages but it depends on how we use technology as well the technology will bring more positive things than negative things.
ResponderBorrari agree as well say the statement that technology has its advantages and disadvantage, accommodating the students leaves the one hand activities like reading a book taking notes
