Have a look at the website 'Teens and Technology' and do the tasks.
Here you can see an infographic on the advantages and disadvantages of technology. Think about its major topics and answer the questions that follow:
1. What do you use technology for?
2. Do you think technology is a good or bad thing? Why?
3. Do you think that technology can be dangerous? Why?
I just use my computer for playing games online or doing school assignments. I use my smartphone to text my friends, to use social media and to play some games. Sometimes I use my computer and smartphone at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI also watch TV after dinner before going to bed. I usually watch action series.
I think technology has both good and bad sides. On one hand, we can use technology to search info, to contact our closest family members, to play games or to watch movies and series. We also get to know about what is going on in the world. On the other side, excessive use of technology can become an addiction, we can be targets of cyberbullying or even get our personal info exposed on the internet.
To conclude technology is advantageous but it may also be dangerous if we don’t follow security measures.
For me technology is very important because nowadays I use it to do almost everything.
ReplyDeleteAs I said, I use technology for several things like searching the Internet, listening to music, playing games, talking with my friends and family and also practising my skills to get better marks at school.
In my opinion technology is a good thing when used safely because we can practise to the tests and search information to school papers and many other things. When people use technology without any security it can be dangerous, because there are many people who enjoy to create fake profiles from other people to do some offensive comments on their friends’ photos or even worse to do several illegal things.

ReplyDelete1.What do you use technology for?
Technology is a way of social communication or leisure. I use it to play games, surf the web and post pictures on social networks.
2. Do you think technology is a good or bad thing? Why?
Technology can be both ways, either you can find a good friend who shares the same interests with you or a pedophile who stalks you on social networks. It can be dangerous but at the same time, informative about everything around you.
3.Do you think that technology can be dangerous? Why?
Yes it can, because it can damage your brain (when exposed for too long) with radiation that is transmitted by the wi-fi and there are internet hackers who would try, for example, to steal your bank account or your social network accounts.
I use technology to communicate with my friends, to search data for my school papers and to play games. I prefer using my smartphone rather than my computer because I can play a videogame when I stay away and it is more comfortable and easier.
ReplyDeleteTo me, technology is a good thing because it helps me to search information quickly and it allows me to know the world better.
Technology is dangerous because many people may use your profile photos on other websites. Other people may have access to your information on social media.

I use technology mainly for entertainment, for example, playing video games or watching videos on YouTube. I also like to talk with my friends on social media or via skype. The technological device that I use the most is the computer because it’s like my “playground”.
ReplyDeleteTechnology has negative and positive aspects but I think that technology brings only good things to me. Teenagers use technology mostly as an hobby and adults as work, so technology is helpful is many different ways, that’s why I think technology is a good thing. On the other hand, technology can cause visual diseases or cerebral tumours and people may get addicted to it.
Yes it is, technology is dangerous because it can bring problems to people's social life if we don’t use it in the correct way. People can be hacked or can talk to a person that pretends to be someone we know.
The technological device we use the most is the computer because in the computer we do all the things we like: playing video games, listening to music, watching videos and others… We also watch TV and use our smartphones.
ReplyDeleteTechnology has both good and bad sides. Technology is a good thing because we can search for information, communicate with a lot of people at the same time and work on school papers. On the other side, it may be a bad thing because the information we post stays there forever and students may use technology improperly.
Yes it can, when people post personal information, for example, name, address, phone number, and talk to people they don´t know.
