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.
