The good and bad of technology use

Technology is a great source for enhancing the learning community. Computers and cell phones are just a couple of examples that have helped to enhance the learning community. With computers people are able to access the web, which is another type of great technology. The web provides an almost endless supply of information. The great thing about the web is that it is always being updated, and new information is posted on it every day. Computers and the web also allow people all over the world to connect with each other. This provides people with the means to communicate with each other about research projects. In this way people are able to gain valuable information from their peers. Cell phones allow for people to communicate anytime and from almost anywhere. With cell phones people can also access the web.
Technology can threaten a community by taking the personal feel out of things. Instead of going to the store and talking to someone about the problems you are having with their product you send them and email. Technology can also be very distracting. Most people sit in class rooms on their computer and get on face book or play games. When people are doing this they are not paying attention to what the teacher is saying.
Belief in technology helps me to see the upside of technology and the downside of technology. With technology we all want to believe that it is helping us to work more efficiently, and get more work done. However the downside is that sometimes technology distracts us from getting work done, and distracts us from what is happening at the present. Doubt in technology presents the same factors. I doubt that all technology will improve mankind. On the other hand I also doubt that all technology will hurt mankind. Belief is not always positive. People can have positive beliefs and negative beliefs. Just like I belief that technology has its positive sides and its negative sides. Doubt is also not always negative. Some people doubt that technology has a bad side to it. They see only the good side of technology.
