Time for Technology

Technology is growing at such an alarming rate that it is hard to keep up with all that is available. Some people invest hours daily to stay on top of all their electronics. They have to make sure that their cell phones, PDAs, mP3 players are all charged and the files updated. They have to keep their Facebook or other social networking accounts current. Emails and texts have to be answered. Where do you stand with respect to technology? Are you addicted? How do you justify the time you spend on technology?

Technology is useful, but only if used right, otherwise it will take over your life. The time you spend using the technology needs to be balanced,with other activities such as sports or other such activities

I think that technology is good in some ways like taking important phone calls, or for emergencies. Having an email is a good way to keep in touch with friends you havent seen in a long time. Having a cell phone is good to have like if you get stranded out somewhere you can use your phone to call for help. You can use your phone to use as a reminder like an appointment, or a meeting.

i think that technology is very useful in our daily lives, we don't need to use them all the time but at least we know we can depend on them if we need to.

Technology is the future, in order to know what is going on in our lives and what is to come we need to stay updated on the current technology and keep learning about the new programs and such that comes out.

technology is best. we should get to use our cell phones so that we can keep in touch with our parents or relatives in emergency. and it should not be banned because what would students do for entertaining other than teachers with their humurous personality?

Technology is important because it's such a big part of EVERYONE'S daily life. We should be able to use OUR technology as long as it isn't distracting us from what's important or what's going on.

I love my cell phone, and texting. I communicate mostly through texting. I text and listen to my i-pod all day everday. I personally think everybody should have a phone and everyone should know how to text.

I think that technology is a great tool that could be used more for learning. I think that the rules regarding cell phones and ipods in schools could be a little less strict. Let us use our cell phones in class.

Technology helps us humans learn and create the new life styles of the every day human. Without technology their would be no cure for cancer. We students need the the cell phone to communicate and to be human and have a life instead of living with your parents the rest of your life. technology is the only thing that lets us the students out in the world. Although technology needs to be used in the correct manner and use it smart and not to be an addictive past time.

Technology is the root of all evil. We must ban this pandemic before it gets out of control, but it would seem we are too late for that, because it is out of control. In fact, it's so out of control, I'm using technology to tell you how bad technology is. Stop the Madness, we cannot live in a world full of communication and advances in medical science. It will not last.

I think technology is great as a tool. However, I do believe that many people get completely carried away with it. Students always talk about using it to keep in touch. How often do you actually have quality time with the people you are keeping in touch with? Do you ever get to focus on the things that are really important, or are you too preoccupied with your technology toys? On Thanksgiving Day my brother came to dinner at my parents house. He spent the entire time at the dinner table texting and talking on his phone. We need to use etiquette with technology; there is a time and place for it. We need to show respect for others as we use technology. Remember that it is a tool, not the center of our existence.
