Technology makes our life easier. Nowadays we can chat with many people in same time and messages are sent in half a second. Technology saves us time too. We can pay bills or buy what we want so we don't have to drive to every place in city to arrange something.
Week ago I don't need to go out to buy a T-shirt, because I ordered it in internet. I saved time and money because items in internet shops are usually cheaper than items in stationary stores.
Unfortunately, influence of technology isn't very good for people's social life. Often kids have problems to make new friendships with others, because all kids are playing games all free time. But in my opinion teenagers are more aware of this problem and they are using phones less than kids.

Today we’re going to talk about modern technology. Technology is an inherent part of our lives. Just try to imagine living without cell phones, TV or internet. Today I’m going to focus on probably the most important thing in our lives – our smartphones. With smartphones everything is easier. You can communicate with your friends, check the weather or listen to music anywhere. Just imagine situation where someone on the street gets hit by a car and there’s no way to get an ambulance. With cell phones that’s not a problem, you just select the number and call it. There’s a downside of technology – it’s really addictive and often puts teenagers off of a regular human contact instead of chatting. I really appreciate technology but it shouldn’t define us.

The world as we know it is ruled by modern technology. Thanks to it, we communicate with people at a distance. We can get things done without leaving home. Technology is helping many people during a pandemic. Many people started ordering things online, lessons are held remotely, as well as many professions (of course, some cannot be replaced remotely).
Technology has made people have more time, but also made them very lazy. Games, watching movies, writing messages have made people less active, which is bad for their health. Teenagers, where they spend most of their time online, are most exposed to it. Instead of meeting their friends at the bar or coffee shops prefer to text each other at home. Social media has a huge impact on young people.
That is why we should use technologies in moderation.

Our society is accustomed to the internet. At the same time, we are becoming lazier and unsociable because of the availability of everything online- starting with friends, entertainment, and ending on the job and the possibility of earning money.
Technology should be a gadget but not an everyday habit. These days younger generations are addicted to their phones, computer games. They often prefer to stay on the internet and communicate with friends using f.e. Messenger than spend time with them in real life.
To sum up, I think technology has some disadvantages and it's why we should control our time being online.

When I was ill I had to stay in home. I asked my friends to send me photos of notebooks on Messenger what were they doing on lessons. When I had a problem with homework or I didn't understand something, they explained me a difficult task.
More and more young people are creating accounts in social medias. They provide us an entertainment and kill the time when we are bored. What's more we can meet interesting people.
To sum up, I don't mind using technology by teenagers but I think that everything is good in moderation.

The truth is that modern technology makes our lives much easier. We can’t live without it because its everywhere. Washing machine, a dishwasher, a vacuum cleaner, we use these machines every day. They are saving our time and help us with clean. The most important thing in these days is obviously smartphones. We can chat with our friends or family. What’s more we are working and studying by phones. They are not only for call in these days. We do everything on our phones
A few days ago the technology helped my grandpa. He was sick and felt really faintly. I checked number for his doctor in the internet and set him up for appointment. He has video conference with his doctor and a few days later he was felt better.
For technology we have social media so we can meet people online. It’s pretty cool for me, because we can chat with people, who live in the other country. We don’t have to go outside to make new friendships.
Teenager spend much time on social media like Instagram or snapchat but also on the website like Netflix.
To sum up technology is not that bad what we think is but we have to control how much time we spend on the internet especially kids and young people.

Everybody uses social media and contacts their friends by communicator, for example messenger. I think that technology for teenagers is great. So many things are easier for us nowadays. But a common thing in society now is addiction to phones and computers. Every application is made as addictive as possible to catch our attention. It's a very big problem that needs to be solved in order to make our lives better.

When is an accident on the road or someone will get hurt we can use our phones to call to emergency.
Unfortunately technology sometimes has horrible influence on people because they are addicted to phones, computers, television and others machines but technology has positive sides and when we have family in other country we can talk on facetime and write messages.
By technology most of the teenagers can find friends and love.

I’m writing this post to tell you more about modern communication technology.
It makes our lives so much easier, because for example we don’t have to write a long letter, send it and wait for an answer for a couple of weeks anymore. We can just simply call somebody and talk to them, so we can get an answer immediately.
Modern communication technology saved my friend’s life two days ago! We were walking through the park when she suddenly collapsed. I called an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital. I don’t know what would i do if i didn’t have my phone with me.
I need to own that this technology has changed social lives of many people. If they are not gonna be at the time for a meeting, that can simply text the other person, they’ll be late.
Also - from my point of view - I think it made a lot of teenagers lazy, because they don’t meet each other that much as before. They’d rather stay at home and text with their friends.
That’s all for today. What do you think about it? I’m looking forward to your comments.

I've been hearing these words for years, but i'd like to consider whether they are true and share my opinion.
Modern technology has changed every aspect of our lives including communication. Nowadays it's definitely faster to provide information. In the past people were only able to write letters and it was the only way to communicate with others. The process of waiting for a reply from the recipient was quite long. Now everyone is using their mobile phones to send text messages. This is much easier and comfortable than before.
In the current situation witch covid-19 technology helped me many times and is still useful. It makes it possible for me to participate in lessons. What's more, it helps me with doing my homework or to understand new topics. There are a lot of applications which for example check our homeworks and then correct the mistakes automatically. Thanks to that, my work is always much faster and pleasant.
Although technology is really useful and makes our life better, it seems to me that it has a bad influence on people's social life. We are now more introverted than in the past. It's also hard for young people to make new friends and start a conversation with someone eye to eye.
So what's my opinion about the use of technology by teenagers? Well, nowadays life wouldn't be possible without it. It helps us in many categories of life, for example with communication. We just have to remember that technology is good to some degree. To sum up, use your mobile phones wisely in moderation!

The technology also allows us to check, for example, the timetable or the price of a given product. But I think it is important to inform us about kidnappings or home robberies, which may warn us to avoid a disaster.
Thanks to the access to social media we can be inspired by other people, look at what is fashionable, which is a great convenience for us. mainly for teenagers who are going through hard times in their lives, and thanks to the support and motivation of others - they are able to do a lot.
