Is technology making kids lazy?
Nowadays we have all kinds of new gadgets and gizmo’s that everyone wants to get there hands on. Technology is evolving and more and more people are getting into it. For example the other day i was on the bus and i saw a kid from john paul texting on his blackberry. I remeber when i was in john paul no one would even think of having a phone like that, your used to seeing men in suits and bosses of companies using a phone like that. Then wouldn’t you know junior high students have it. The biggest problem of technology is xbox and ps3. These are really cool consoles and i even own one but i am even being a little hypocritical when i say this but it does make you lazier. There are teens who are hooked on this to the point where it takes away there social life and there athletic life and all they want to do is play xbox. I don’t play xbox that much anymore but there were times last year when instead of going to the gym after school of doing homework i would play xbox. I only did this because of a game i really liked and once i beat that game i realized i haven’t accomplished much besides beeting a stupid game. I haven’t gone into the real world and done anything constructive, all i did was beet a stupid game. But there are kids who are hooked and play online and just play countless hours each day. These are the kids who are affected by technology and they don’t even realize. It can become like a drug once you start it you can’t stop it. You need it in your life or your life isn’t the same. If you use technology properly and don’t overuse it it’s prefect. Don’t get me wrong technology doesn’t make everyone lazy because not everyone is the same. This is a good example of why technology is good. for example instead of wasting trees and writing on paper im writing my blog on the computer and saving paper. Overall kids are going to get more and more lazier because of technology because it is just going to keep getting better and better and you won’t be able to stay away.
