The Impact of Technology on Daily Life 

By : Cindy Sasnia Putri 

    Hello everyone, 🙌. Today I would like to update my blog again and my topic about Technology. I believe that everyone has heard a lot about it, but in my opinion, this is an interesting topic. Besides, my essay today will also discuss examples of hedging. So, please don't miss it guys.. Read carefully and don't forget to give your comments below.🤗

     We know that technology plays an  important role in fulfilling our daily needs. If we look around us, technology perhaps  can be seen everywhere from the small pen to the airplane. A revolution in technology has made human life much easier. We can do our tasks much faster and in a much easier way, saving time. Besides, in our daily life, technology serves us in many different ways to help us do our activities for our needs. Television, for example, is the best entertainment and information medium. Another example is smartphones that not only help us talk to another person but also maybe the functions are devices to take a picture and watch video, and we can even use them to browse the Internet. All of them probably to show us how important technology is in our daily life. In addition, some people believe that technology can make their lives better than ever. No one can imagine a life without technology. Imagine if airplanes had not been invented, then traveling from one country to another countries would take a long time. In the medical field, many people’s lives have been saved and cured with technology. Without technology, our life would have been helpless and would have never been this better. That's all why technology seems to play an important role in human life.

   Currently, the most popular topic is the internet. It proved that over 2 billion people in this universe are using the Internet. The number of websites is amazing. There are so many websites that provide different kinds of knowledge, experience, entertainment and business. Now it is easy for us to share with each other through the internet. We can access worldwide news using the Internet. All of what we want to know and all we need are provided by the internet. All of this proves that the Internet seems familiar to many people.

      On the other hand, some people assume that technology, especially the internet, causes a big disaster to human life. They think that social networking makes our generation waste their time. But the fact tells us that it is not true. Based on CNN’s online-news site recently posted a poll, asking the respondents whether they are tired of networking or not. It showed that 74% had chosen “YES.” In addition, some people say that maybe raping, hacking, piracy, and plagiary are disasters created by the Internet. But, based on the fact, when something is going wrong, we can’t blame the technology. The analogical thing looks like a murderer who killed someone using a knife. We can’t blame the knife, but, instead, we must blame the murderer who used technology (knife) as a medium to do the wrong thing. The other example is raping. Teenagers rape the girls because they appear to be watching videos using cell phones downloaded from the Internet. It is not the goal of the Internet and the cell phone’s fault. Lack of morality and lack of regulation in uploading and downloading are the problems. If people don’t use the technology as wisely and as they can, it’s  probably not technology’s fault, but it is a matter of improper morality. So, that's an assumption from people who think the Internet is a bad one.

       In conclusion, as we know, technology plays an important rule for everyone. Many people believe that technology can bring human life this better than before. One of the most popular topics of technology is the internet. Many people perhaps know a lot about it. On the other hand, some people assume that technology, especially the internet, causes a big disaster to human life. It depends on the users of technology. If they can use it wisely, there is no problem. In addition, there are five solutions that suggest from some people to improve the advantages of technology such as fixing the morality of people itself, blocking the porn sites, law enforcement, parental control in the computer or smartphone, and the right entertainment in the right time. So, technology has many impacts on human life.

E - Learning
By : Cindy Sasnia Putri

   Hello everyone 🙌, today I would like to post my blog about one of the impact of COVID-19 in our life, especially in our education. Besides, it also has correlation with our material in Academic Writing. We will discuss about Signalling Words. If you want to know more explain about signalling words, so please read my essay and don't forget to give your comment at below guys. Because my essay give some examples of signalling words. Please enjoy it guys.. 🤗

      Online learning is a very well-known and viral thing today. In this country, e-learning is often used to replace learning systems that are available in schools or on campus, it begins face-to-face and becomes online. That's happened quite frequently since the emergence of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in this country that could be detrimental to the health of the body. All agencies or schools will have to do this. That's what makes e-learning so famous, especially in the world of education.

     A lot of applications that support e-learning such as, google classroom, zoom, whatsapp, google form, blog, etc. These applications are used by a teacher or lecturer as a media tool to support e-learning processes that are taking place with their students. In addition, the application is also used for assignments to students in the form of soft files. The app may be downloaded or installed through a smartphone or a personal laptop. With those apps, e-learning is running smoothly.

     E-learning has a function in helping education. A considerable amount of ease can be gained through  e-learning. For example, We can learn anywhere without having to go to school or to college. We just need to provide technology, such as smartphones, laptops, and something like that as a learning media. Besides, we also need to provide quotas or WI-FI to support the learning media to make it easier to access. Certainly, it really helps us in the world of education to make the learning process easier, especially in this covid-19 quarantine.

      On the other hand,  E-learning is also not effective to do. In fact, e-learning is requiring a lot of quotas to access the internet. It might make the expense of the purchases of the quotas bigger. Additionally, there are some teachers or lecturers who still don't understand the use of technology and learning applications. It would disorient teachers or professors to understand the applications that may sound foreign to them. So, they have to learn about how to use it. By e-learning, Many students have been assigned the tasks by her teacher or lecturer to replace meetings in school or on campus. It can cause students to become exhausted in their assignments, because it's not just the one subject that the student has taken, but many of the subjects that the student has to understand. It also often makes students' health down, because the immune system isn't very well maintained. Lack of rest time is also one of the triggering factors of a student's lack of the immune system because they are doing so many tasks. That's all of the facts that prove e-learning is far less effective if applied continuesly. 

      In conclusion, e-learning has both positive impact and negative impact. It all depends on a teachers or the lecturers with their students. E-learning is often used to replace learning systems that are available in schools or on campus, it begins face-to-face and becomes online. But, please take a look back at the basic purpose of e-learning, so that there is no misunderstanding. In that way, learning to teach is successfully accomplished and the undesirable is avoided.
