What Do You Say?

     Think about this: Does the technology really make your life simpler and easier?

     This question keeps popping out of my mind after reading  the article---Simple (Blog: TeachPaperless).  I found this article interesting, and I ponder a while after reading it.

     We cannot deny that the technology does make our life more convenient and effective in some ways.  Nevertheless, it also brings some troubles such as being hacked, attacked by virus, receiving endless spam, and so on.  The water that bears the boat is the same that swallows it up.

     The general students, who are usually too young to judge what is right or wrong, are the generation of technology.  Most of them are able to use the high-tech devices, for example, the cell phones and computers, without being taught.  Thus, they cannot live without them after they grow up.  Exposing to overloaded information on the Internet may cause some problems to teenagers, who lack the ability to make proper judgment.  It is normal that they take whatever they saw on the Internet serious, even the piece of information is false and wrong.  In this way, the technology seems to become an obstacle.

     Besides, it has become a trend that we are using technology as assist in teaching nowadays.  It helps us most of the time; however, it brings some disadvantages as well. 

     It is true that the technology does us a great help, but it has some drawback.  In my humble opinion, I believe that the factor that the technology makes our life simple or complex is decided by how we make use of it.
