DISCONNECT TO CONNECT
Nowadays, we live in a society
where our phones are constantly invading our personal space. Everyone has the
idea that we have to be connected and available at every single minute of the
day. In any case, new technologies have many advantages but also, plenty
disadvantages.
First of all, the most important
advantage is that new technologies connect us with the whole world. With a
simple device -such as our smartphone, we can talk, chat, phone or have a video
conference with a person who is far away. In addition, we can upload photos on
the Internet with just a “click” and also comment on our friends’ photos.
However, there’s a big disadvantage, a lot of people just think about posting
the best photo or getting hundreds of likes, and this affects badly to their relationships.
Lots of teenagers care more about their virtual friends than their real ones,
and that’s a pity.
However, new
technologies help us find the best information. We can easily access to any
website and bookmark our favourite ones. In fact, everyday there are more
persons who host blogs and write about amazing topics, such as fashion, sports,
adventures, travels...
But this can be a disadvantage, because we can’t believe
all that is posted online, nowadays everyone can write on the internet, so we’d
better be careful and try to distinguish fake news from real ones. Moreover,
new technologies have made our world easier. Today we can buy anything we want
online, it’s very comfortable and fast. But we have to be careful because not
all the websites are secure and legal, you may think it’s a good website but
maybe they defraud you.
Summing up, new technologies help
us and are really useful for us, but we can’t trust on everybody who is behind
the screen. We have to be thankful of living in this technology era, but also,
we have to realize all the possible problems if we don’t use them properly. So,
what are you waiting for? Leave the phone and start living your life and
enjoying every moment, talk to your friends face-to-face and leave your virtual
life.
