Have we become too reliant on technology in our day to day lives? There are many different arguments about technology who support it or those who oppose it.  But I think that we are too reliant on our technology. Everyday people are always on their phones, computers, and some electronics to help us in our day to day life which is nice but we are overdoing it and becoming more and more reliant on technology to the point that we can’t live without it. 

I think that we should take a break from technology and see the outdoors and have fun out there instead of being with our technology all day long. This will help with our health preamble and being able to move around more than sitting down all day with your phone, TV, and computers. This will help physically and mental if we take a break from technology and go outside.

Dear, Angle G

I found your post very interesting on the topic “Have we become too reliant on technology” Because I do agree with your points about this topic of how it’s been affecting young people tremendously.  There are many negative effects when it comes to today’s technology, for example, it can have a huge impact on our mental and physical health because young adolescents tend to stay up late, which can cause obesity, sleeplessness, and vision problems.  Compared to years ago when technology wasn’t as advanced as how it is now,  a huge percentage of eleven-year-olds and up already have an electronic device that already comes into effect in addiction.  

“I think that we should take a break from technology and see the outdoors and have fun out there instead of being with our technology all day long.” I agree with this because while technology can be great for society by allowing us to connect to our loved ones, too much of anything is a bad thing.  Technology can also negatively affect young adolescents developing social skills, relationships, and the overall ability to focus in school.

This as always is an important factor to talk about because it is an issue.  Thanks for talking about this topic.:)

Dear Angle:

I am impressed by your post “Have we become too reliant on technology?” because this is an important topic that is widely neglected by our generation. There was an article given to my faith period CSU class about how fake news also affects us. This all these effects of technology, it is evident we need to do something for our own health.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “I think that we should take a break from technology and see the outdoors and have fun out there instead of being with our technology all day long. ”I agree with this because it is more beneficial to be involved in our community than on social media. It does not mean we can not have time for social media but there must be a balance.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because this is an important topic that should be spoken on and technology users must be aware of the effects it has.

Dear,  Angel G 

I am impressed by your post “ Have we become too reliant on technology?” because it is true nowadays people prefer to use their phones all the time. I mean technology can be positive and negative but sometimes we need to take a break. Technology can be really helpful especially for every kid that goes to school but we have to have limits on technology. 

One sentence that stood out to me was that “I think that we should take a break from technology and see the outdoors and have fun out there instead of being with our technology all day long.” This stood out to me because you cannot say it’s boring outdoors without going outside to explore new things. There are so many things to do on this planet, not just technology. Also taking a  break from technology is gonna help a lot because you’ll focus on things that are actually important in your life. 

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because your post was something really true and interesting.

Dear Angel

I am interested in your post, “Have we become too reliant on technology?” bveacuse I tureliy belive that at the point that there are a lot of people who relly do relly on thier phone for to much. Even to the point where peole are no longer are able to think for them selfs.

One sentence you wrote “Everyday people are always on their phones, computers, and some electronics to help us in our day to day life which is nice but we are overdoing it and becoming more and more reliant on technology to the point that we can’t live without it.” I think this is true beacuse of the fact that people do spend a lot of time on thier phone and computer. And yes they do help with every days life yet they can become aditive.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I agree with your post and feel like we can get along well. I also feel like we might have of the same ideals.

Dear Angel

I’m into your post “have we become too reliant on technology?” because it’s true that people hardly leave their phones and are hardly seen leaving them. Technology has become a part of our daily life more and more. The new things and new technology in our phones or some kind of technology. our phones and technology have been more in our lives because some people have fun with video games. technology is a form of sports having fun and entertainment.

One sentence you wrote that stood out to me is, “This will help physically and mentally if we take a break from technology and go outside.” I think this is important because when we are on our phones we are usually laying down or sitting doing nothing. Also, it can help mentally by distracting yourself by doing other things like hanging out with friends and doing real sports.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I agree with everything you said It’s interesting the things you talk about and connecting with everyday things.

Dear Angel,

I am intrigued by your post, “Have we become too reliant on technology?” because it is true that people are rarely seen without their phones or some sort of technology. Technology has become a part of our daily life more and more. New ideas with technology make us want to continue because it is a great form of entertainment but besides that technology has become a big part of how we work or do important things.

One sentence you wrote that stood out to me is, “This will help physically and mental if we take a break from technology and go outside.” I think this is important because when we are on our phones we are usually laying down or sitting doing nothing. Also it can help mentally by distracting yourself by doing other things or hanging out with friends instead of wasting time.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I agree with everything you said so i’m wondering what else we may agree on. Also, I would love to see more of your opinion on topics like these.

Dear Angel G
I am interested in your post “Have we become too reliant on technology?” because we are getting to the point where we are advancing with technology. I’d agree with you that we have been too reliant on technology. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is, “ think that we should take a break from technology and see the outdoors and have fun out there instead of being with our technology all day long.” And I would have to agree to this because we should be spending more time outside to see what’s there instead of looking through a screen. Thanks for your writing, I look forward to seeing what you write next because this is very helpful. I also believe that it could help us with our self-esteem
