Is technology the best way to communicate?

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.

Modern technology makes people's lives much easier. Thanks to it, we can do many things simultaneously. Do laundry, vacuum, wash dishes. Washing machine, dishwasher, intelligent vacuum cleaner with charging station. All also things are technology that makes our everyday life easier. Laptops, computers, telephones. Ale of these things have undergone a tremendous change over the years. In the past, the telephone was just for calling. Now it is possible to operate smart homes and cars with it. We have internet and multiple social media functions in them. This technology makes it easier for us to contact friends and family. We are very mobile. You don't have to wait until the Christmas world to see your aunts from England. Just connect on FaceTime. Technology in teens is an ongoing topic of the twenty-first century. There are pluses and minutes. Pros: the parent is in contact with the child, the teenager is mobile, easily communicates with others, can quickly search for information on the Internet. The downsides are addiction to the phone, social media. Many teenagers have complexes because idealized celebrities have Instagram. Am I in favor of technology? Yes, I don't know what I would do without her.

Hi guys!
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.

How does technology affect 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.

Technology brought our life to another level. It is a fact. Especially shopping is easier. Nowadays we are not only saving money but also time. Communication with others is faster too. For example, thanks to technology I can chat with my friend which is so far away and I don’t have to wait a week to get a message from her.
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.

Modern technology makes people's lives so much easier. We do everything online these days. We handle matters without leaving home; we pay the bills, make an appointment with a doctor, and even do things in the office. We communicate fast and easy with people who live far away, we can also shop online, which is very popular in times of a pandemic. Technology helps students and teachers the most, because it is the only source that we can use during online lessons. Technology also has it downsides. People have become very lazy, because such sites as; Netflix, Facebook, various types of gaming sites have reduced our physical activity, which leads to very bad results. Teenagers use of technology is very popular now, there is no one who does not have a telephone. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. The teenager is mobile, communicate easily with others, but more and more telephone addictions lead to dire consequences.

It's true that modern technology makes people's lives easier. It helps in daily situations on different fields like education, communication, health, transport... It enable us to get information faster everywhere and anytime.
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.

Technology saves our lives?!
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.

Modern technology is very useful nowadays and everyone cannot imagine their life without it. It makes it easy to communicate with people from a distance with whom it is difficult for us to meet. It gives you the opportunity to buy things over the Internet and now we know how difficult it is. The Internet has recently helped my family to buy a gift for my grandfather, because most of the galleries are closed. A lot of teenagers are addicted to phones and this is a big problem today, but probably no one can imagine life without this. Everyone got used to it.Zuzanna K

In my opinion modern technology makes our lives easier in many ways. For example education is much easier thanks to faster and better looking for information on the internet. That’s very valuable for students. Technology helps us in the medical field too. Average lifespan is expanding thanks to modern solutions, that saves a lot of lives. Social life has been impacted by modern technology years ago.

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.

Technology makes our daily life much easier. In the present time, modern technology around us; telephones, washing machines, cookers, tv. These machines clean for us (like electric robots) cook or does do other things daily accivites. In hospital we have modern technology that keep us alive. We alive in developed world who couldn't do without technology, because it is already our everyday life. Human everyday call and text to each other use phone. Other people work by phone. There are influencer, model Instagram or players. Teenagers are prisoners technology, because this is huge addiction. Social media have a great influence on our functioning and thinking, because we follow the people we see on our phone.

Earlier, you had to send write a letter. People had to wait for days and even months. Nowadays, people normally use text messages and emails to pass important messages to our family and friends. When we don’t have cash with us we can use our phones to pay.

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.

Hi guys!

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.

In my opinion, modernized technology has made our lives much easier. Especially in the medical field as well as in other aspects of everyday life. Acquiring new knowledge nowadays is so easy that thanks to technology we are able to save hours spent in the library up to a few minutes staying at home. This is very important especially for students. Nowadays, the technology used in medicine saves many lives just as much as it makes it easier for doctors to save a person's life. Unfortunately, technology especially mobile technology has its drawbacks especially in teenagers. Sometimes the time we save can turn into inactivity, making us lazy, and young people don't see the world off-screen. Technology is very useful and has definitely made life better. But remember that being used inappropriately can cause problems.

“Don't use modern technology! It has a bad influence on you and social life!”
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!

Technology makes people's lives easier because it is easy to send any message, video or photo. It is also a big saving, because we don't have to waste sheets of paper and avoid cutting down trees.
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.

I definitely think that technology makes our life easier, because it enables us to do things we never even thought were possible in the first place. An example of this is communicating with people on the other side of the world instantly.
