I think technology, in general, has been worked in to everyone's day-to-day life.
It is the first thing I do when I wake up, and when I go to bed.
It's easy to just pick up your phone, turn it on.
Call a ride, and just go wherever you want.
New places to eat, new places to explore.
It's great to stay in touch.
I met my girlfriend on an online dating app, so I'd say that's a positive right there.
Do you feel like you're in control of technology or is technology in control of you?
Oof.
Oh, it's definitely more in control of me.
My biggest issue with it is knowing when to stop.
Five and ten minutes here and there, and I feel like it takes up, you know, takes up a bunch of my day.
I feel like it's in control of me, like, if my phone's dead for, like, half the day or something, and I'm going crazy.
I think my math grade is the way it is because of my phone.
Now I notice my eyes are, like, a little, like, I blink a little bit more, they get tired.
He should just throw his phone away.
Usually, I feel in control of technology. Usually.
Usually, I can catch myself and be like, 'You need to chill out.'
I think you have to set a limit, and say that you control the phone, it doesn't control you.
I'd say most people hate on technology, but if you're using it for good things, I think it's really helpful.
Well, we think it's important that they do have access to it and learn it.
Technology is not so much as a necessary evil, it's a necessary good that could go either way. You know, the jury's out. It's up to us as to what we do with the technology.
I think it depends in the way you use it, if you are responsable with the use, and you set yourself a time limit on exposure to tecnology so you control the tecnology instead tencology controls you I think is good but if you are totaly adicted to that you have to change some aspects of your life
New technologies cannot be considered absolutely neutral, but must be viewed in an economic, social and political context.
The impact of technologies on the lives of individuals and society largely depends on how they are shaped by legal regulation. In this regard, the approach to ensuring fundamental human rights should be paramount.
And an important step to be taken by the international community as a whole is to effectively promote regulatory processes to prevent conflicts and ensure an appropriate balance between human rights and new technologies.
Our nowdays life is absolutely dependant on technologies.
Food production, healthcare, transport, eduration, communication, banking, busines etc... every branch of our lives doesn't seem as possible without numeric support.
Of course, we pay a price for those speed and comfort!
And I agree with othere that only human been is responcible how to use the technologies...
Unfortunately whole our history demonstrates our incapacity to manage our powerfulness... we always turn the new achievements in to the weapon :
ammonia as poisoning gas istead of fertilizer, nunclear bomb instead of energy source, drones, hypersound, laser, rocets... all times and all nations seem not to take in consideration any previous history(((
To be honest,most of the time that. technology is in control of me, because I noticed that I am spending the bunch of my day in scrolling,but sometimes I catch my self up and take a break from technology,it is really good.Generally technology isa double ended weapon ,so take care!
I use technology of course, but i try to use it with caution.Technology is like science : for example , atomic science enabled the invention of MRI for Medicine but it also led to the atomic bomb.New knowledge in biology led to medical and juridic advances but has been used to make biological weapons.I wish to be able to control technology , and I hope not to be controlled by it.
The most horrible thing is that sometimes we fool ourselves into believing that we control the technology, and the fact is we are controlled by technology even without noticing it. Overusing electronic devices has affected our physical health and mental state. Cervical and lumbar spondylosis are becoming increasingly common among younger people. Many individuals avoid facing real-life issue and escape into the vitual world.
Yup this is one of ny problem when I use technology I feel it controling me
i think when the technology control me when i have free time and not to do something so usually i do everything like go the gym or see my friends but when the technology control me i try explore it in things positively like learning English or something useful
I think the technology is very useful, some years ago I couldn´t imagine learning or working from your home, the most important thing is to achive a healty balance.
I am not sure for this,but mostly,I 'm in control of the phnoe
