The Effects of Technology on Modern Life

Television has truly changed the lives of most people in Britain. closely whole British households suck up at least one deform television. The amount of time people dangle each day reflection TV is increasingly signifi arseholetly every year. In the first troika months of 2010 British viewers watched a record of more than four hours of TV a day on aver hop on. Some children have become addicted to watching TV and watch it all day when not in school. Referring to passing game B, children impart have watched about 25,000 hours of TV by the age of 18.I believe parents need to be stricter with their children and get them involved with sports and clubs to keep on them from watching too much TV or playing games indoors. A lot of the programs on TV today including Big Brother, The only mood is Es trip, etc, are reality programmes that are meaningless to our everyday lives.People will do any amour to get on TV nowadays engineering science is getting more advanced each day and h as taken over our lives. From short fuzzy TVs with few channels to plasma filmdom TVs with hundreds, from writing letters to instantly texting someone on a touch screen phone. These are all amazing advances in technology and have changed peoples lives. Although as it says in Passage B, TV violence contri moreoveres to real violence and it influences people into bad language, sex and pain.The Internet has also changed some(prenominal) people lives. In Passage A, it mentions a new technology called VOIP Voice Over Internet Protocol, so now people peck phone there friends, wherever they are, for as pertinacious as you want, for absolutely free. I think this is good and bad because all though it is fast and doesnt cost, people may then spend to much time on their phone, knowing there are no restrictions.There are also many social lucre berths where you can chat to friends instantly and share personal information. People as progeny as 10 have an account on these social network s ites, which can be highly dangerous. There are pedophiles on these sites that can easily manipulate young kids. The sites try to tip these things from happening but with so many people online, its most impossible to stop them all.Facebook is one of the biggest online social networking sites with over 850million users and over 3000 employees. It is one of the fastest ship canal to communicate with friends and share personal information. Facebook is the fastest growing social networking site and was created in 2004. You must be 13 or older to have an account on Facebook but there 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts and 5 million under 10, violating the sites terms of service.Technology is a massive thing in our everyday lives and we use it for almost everything. People can accomplished so many things using technology and it helped companies become more known, millions of people can watch the same thing at once, but its not just TV and Internet. With new technology we can fly jumbo jets around the world, visiting 100s of different countries each day.Technology has changed massively within the last 20 years, which is very good, but could also be very bad. We need to construe how we use technology, especially watching TV and the internet, because it is wasting our lives when they are many things to do and things t accomplish. This is what we have come to.
