REFLECTION TASK 2A

Hi folks! :) Today, I wanna talk about technology which has taken over our lives and is now in everywhere of our lives. The reason why I chose this topic is that technology has changed numerous things: our habits, way of living, hobbies, and even  our impressions. When did sayings such as “I am following you”, “I added you”, “I ‘shared’ your photo” start to be used? Just imagine someone saying these things to another person decades ago. The people saying these would either be labelled pervert or a psychopat, right?  It does not sound weird now though. And that is because technology introduced us new sayings, a new way of expressing ourselves. That can either be considered positive or negative. In my opinion, it is not so bad. I mean, what is wrong with widening our knowledge of vocabulary and having changes in our lives? Yes, it could mean taking the easy way out from time to time. However, I think technology provides us with a lot of opportunities such as improving ourselves and having easy access to information and these are not just things to overlook. Another thing technology has brought about is that we are more socially connected than we were. It may not be true for everyone. Yet, it is obvious that social websites such as facebook and twitter actually connect people, enabling them to share photos and stuff with others. And these are not the only things that technology has provided us with. By means of the internet, we can cook whatever we desire at any time by just checking out the recipe online. What is more, we don’t have to wait in line at banks thanks to online banking. Same goes for online shopping, saving us from the long lines of the stores. In conclusion, there may be people against technology and they may even support the idea that it changed our lives in a negative way. However, considering all these advantages it presents us, I think technology is one of the biggest gifts that our age has ever offered us.
