Technology can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. In the world we live in, technology can help us cure a disease while also enabling us to hold a simple conversation. In this generation, it would be rare to see someone not using any form of technology. Technology defines my generation.
Nowadays, we have become "robots to machines." In my generation we see a lot of obesity causing us to get different diseases or health problems. The internet and social media is the cause of this because it consumes most of the average persons time. The fact that technology provides us with unlimited access of information and gives us answers to any questions instantly without leaving our house causes a lack of exercise resulting in obesity.
People of my generation have a lack of social skills. It’s a challenge for people in the 20th century to actually interact with people face to face. Technology has defined the way we communicate with one another. For example, most people have more friends on Facebook or Instagram then they do in person. Conversations are becoming less and less personal causing society to grow closer virtually not personally.
To conclude this, my generation is not as independent as the generation before us. Because technology gives us everything we need at hand, we no longer are patient individuals. We no longer have people skills or find the need to exercise defining us as anti-social, illiterate, and impatient individuals. Technology has shaped who we are not only as individuals, but as a community and generation.

ReplyDeleteOverall, your writing is clear and fairly well organized. Work on polishing your sentences, including more specific examples, and proofreading. Also, use transitional words to move from one idea to the next or one paragraph to the next. For example, you jump from talking about health in paragragh 2 to talking about social skills in paragraph 3. How can you transition between these two separate and very different ideas?
