Technology IS controling us!

 

   If you ask a teenager if would they rather life a day without any technology or live with no legs some teens would actually answer they would rather have no legs. How could this ever happen? In Winter of our Disconnect they talk about this family that went six months without technology because the mom realized that technology was controlling their lifestyle too much (Maushart, Susan 1). Do you think you would be able to do this? Probably not. It's like every single thing we do in this days depends on technology, to study, to stay informed, new trends everything. What's the first thing you do when you wake up? A lot of teenagers including myself will answer look at my phone, we don't do homework without the internet because it can answer all of our questions, every little problem we have we mostly solve it with some kind of technology. 93% of teens ages 12-17 go online, 63% go online every day if you tell me that we are not becoming addicted to the Internet and social media you are crazy it's taking all our time and freedom we want to be in touch every waking second. Technology is taking over us we are forgetting how to control the amount of time or how to use the technology.
