  1. I believe that technology can take control of your life if you aren't careful of how you use it, but technology can also help you learn and research about certain items.

  10. Yes, I think that we can become to dependent to our technology. I know that I could not go a day without my phone without having a melt down! There is technology that I use just for my day to day life; like a tv, phone, computer, ipod, and much more. It is very easy to become so dependent on our technology, that we don't know what it is like to go without them. Yes, I think we can become VERY dependent on our technology.

  12. Yes I think people depend to much on technology because . People don't get out side enough but instead they stay inside on there phone.

  13. I think sometimes, people CAN get too dependent to technology. Some people surrounds their whole life around technology. Some people can't even leave their home with out some type of tech. The think they need their phone, Ipod, camera, and stuff like that. I haft to admit I love my phone and stuff, but I don't surround my WHOLE life around it.

  14. yes, I think that technology is to dependent! I think that it is to dependent because, I think that ,ore kid should get out and get active. There are days that I'm lazy and don't want to get out off my phone, TV, or ipad, but I always try to do something to not be non-active

  15. I totally believe you can be dependent on technology. After all you can have an app on your phone that allows you to order groceries from your home. At least you have to walk to get to your car and groceries to get them! I am not understanding why some people won't take 20 minutes out of a day MAX to go to a grocery store! People of the "Golden Age" really caught the knife by the blade on the means of activeness (and I don't mean the Internet kind either).

  17. Yes I do think that we are dependent! I think that everyone in the modern age intrects with technology
    in there every day life. All most every thing that we do is with technology. Some times we are no so dependent technology we sometimes we can do stuff on our own.

  18. yes, I think some people can be to technology dependent because amost all people have phones and they use them to much they never will rely on other people they just get on the internet

  19. it was interesting to know that we depend on technology so much the we have become obsessive over it it is ridiculous how much time and money we spend on it and it is costing our lives lets try to slow down a bit on technology.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think that you can become to dependent with technology because most people always have their phone. People use technology to get their work done faster and they get the answer without trying to work out the problem. People are becoming to dependent on technology. We don't know what it is like to go without our phones. We always have them with us and we use them for things like spell check or to get the answers to our homework because we have become to dependent on technology to give us the answers.

  21. yes they could for electricity for there phone to call there friends for a ride home or there mom to see what time to be home or to see if they need to come home to help their mom or dad or whoever they live with

  22. I think that technology awareness is very useful. From carrying around your mobile device to watching a video on your class assignment. I technology can be good and bad for you. For example a good thing about technology is that it can help you get to an ambulance quicker. Although it can also be bad for your health.

  23. i think that somtimes somepeople get on technology too much. i think that only 2 or 3 times a week u should get on technology because the other days u should get exercise an setting and playing on iphones,computers,laptops,and other stuff isnt exercise... some people spend to much time on technology.

  24. Well there are two different parts to this argument one both sides have a good point two will this argument go any further I think that some people can get addicted and some may not it depends on the person. I personly think that we can and cannot get addicted to techlongy or depentent.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yes, I think some people can be to technology dependent because almost all people have phones and they stay on them to much and they never rely on each other all they have to do is pull up the internet and ask it and it tells them the answer.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I also think that it is also useful.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think its okay to use a cellphone and a computer for important stuff but i feel like people use it way to much. i think we could slow down a little bit. i use my phone to text and thats about it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes. Technology is being built everyday.. but are we solid on controlling the outcome? I mean, I just watched a video on Self Lacing Shoes from 16 hours ago! Technology can fall out of our hands anytime from battery loss, or anything that leads to how to we control the technology.. Now for education, it's very useful. But for that moment it gains a virus, bye, bye little computer. Become where you gain that independence, but know that technology can take you to over a million places. This concludes my answer..

  29. Although we love technology, we can become too dependent on it. When we send texts on our phones it automatically changes words for you and puts the correct punctuation. Because of this we may struggle when it comes to actually writing on demands at school.

  30. I think that most of what was said in the video was not true. Technology is a very good thing. Without technology many lives could/would be lost. Without technology the many awful things could happen. Its ignorant people who give it a bad name. People who are irresponsible and abuse technology shouldn't ruin it for everyone.

  31. I think technology can be good and bad because you could call a ambulance faster but the bad thing is some people text and drive

    ReplyDelete
  32. Although technology does have a few flaws I think its very useful. It can also keep some kids out of trouble, when someone is getting on their nerves instead of lashing out they can turn on some music an calm down. some people may use technology to keep in touch with old friends.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Technology is very helpful at times, but it can also be a health problem depending on how long you use electronics a day.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think there is a fine line between abusing technology and using it fairly. Many people use technology for school work, studying, and for healthy living. Having a cell phone with you can be useful during emergencies. Many people use technology today because it is very quick and easy to use. Its also very beneficial. However, it can also cause many problems. We must find a way to balance out technology use.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think technology helps in our everyday life.When you need help on something and nobody is around. You can just pull out your phone and watch a video about it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think that people are becoming too dependent on technology I find myself carrying my phone with me everywhere I go and trying to hook up with the Wi-Fi

    ReplyDelete
  37. i think that technology is putting the world not talking or doing something activated with other people and that kids are not doing much sports as much as they use to

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yes, because now days everyone use phones and computers. We depend on these things to get us through the day.

  39. in my response i think that technology awareness is useful and can help in many ways. :D

  40. I believe technology has saved more lives in recent times then ever before and there are some health defects, but there are very few, technology has become safer and more affordable

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think that technology can be great, and very useful but it all depends on how you use it. If you use it for the good and important things, such as ambulance or calculator, then it could be useful. Although technology can be good it also can be bad, such as bullying or it can even ruin a marriage, then it would be a bad thing for the world, it all depends on how you use it.

  42. Yes and No actually. some people don't use technology at all practically, while others use it for every day use. mostly, though, its yes. people depend on technology way to much these days. last night I watch Terminator: Genisys, and it shows how dependent we can be on technology. it showed this because in the movie there was a app called genisys, and it did everything for you. Starting your car, making coffee, you name it. Over 1 billion people had the app, and the app had a count down. the count down was supposedly the countdown of a new era. a new beginning, a genisys. instead of making every thing better it created something horrible. it created robots, called terminators, and killed everyone. Which hopefully that doesn't happen, haha. Any way back to the real world, People are to dependent on technology.

    1. Yes, at school you see kids trying to sneak there phone to text a friend back. Kids all the time have there phones with them ALL the time. Some kids don't have phones so they don't get addicted to it as much. Maybe its about time we put are phones down and stay away from WIFI.....maybe you be less addicted after words!!

    2. Yes, people all over have there phones all the time!! Maybe if we stay away from phones, computers and ect. we will have a less addiction!!

  43. I think it is very useful because your teachers can let you do assignments online with phones. But phones can become addictive, so here are how they can be good and bad. They can be good because if there is an accident you can call an ambulance quicker. But they are bad because they can cause cancer sometimes and people get addicted real easy.

    3. I think that technology can be very useful in some cases. You can use your phones when it comes to studying for your classes to texting or calling someone for emergency's. Although technology can help for various reasons, people all over the world abuse it.

  45. yes I think they can. because they can become to dependent on their phone by using it for your needs that you don't even need.

  46. Yes technology is good beacause we use our phones to remind us of stuff or as an alarm or maybe to listen to music or play games that way we are calm and do not get in trouble.

  48. yes because there are many people that use technology but there are some people that don't have technology because their parents think that they might use technology to much but some peoples parents let them have technology because they think their kids could use it to call someone to pick them up after school.

  52. I think people are overly dependent on technology. This is because people sometimes use technology for things that they do not need it for. For example people sometimes use a calculator to add 4 + 4.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yes I think so because our generation is stuck in Technology. If you walk into public I bet nine out of ten people are on there phone or an electronic.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I think we are to dependent on technology, because most people use it everyday. People depend on it for homework, instant messaging, and many other things. We depend on it too much which causes students to depend on it to get the answers for homework instead of doing it on their own. The instant messaging sometimes causes cyber bullying also. This is why I think it is to depended on.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yes it is good for us because it can help us and it can be fun to get on technology

  56. I carry my phone with me. Technology is helpful but we are to dependent on it. Some people use it to help them with homework. Some people use it for entertainment, but some people are to lazy to work out a math problem so they get a calculator and do it. Some people use it for social media.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I think a person cant come too independent with technology because, when you use your phone or device you can become very addicted with your device... I in fact can become addicted when I just want to check my phone for calls or texts. after I check my phone I go to a social media app(s).. technology is getting to the point that we don't even eat, sleep, and even say hey to our mom or dad... its really becoming a addiction to many teenagers and adults today. our generation has depended more on technology. we need to use our technology in smart and safe ways.

  58. i thank it is cause i carry my phone everyday

  59. Yes, I think people depend on technology to much because when some people are doing math and they get a problem like 3+2 and they go to grab a calculator to answer it because they are so used to grabbing the calculator to answer most questions.

  60. Yes, I believe that people can be to dependent on Technology. I'm sure everyone gets a little carried away on their phone, even I. Yes, I do get that Technology can be VERY useful and way faster sometimes...but you also need to learn how to use your own brain. Now it is also very important to carry any type of phone or life alert to get a hold of someone encase of any emergency such as, a heart attack, someone getting choked, etc.

  75. I think that we are to dependent with a cell phone. But it is important to have one if you do have one. Because we can call the ambulance if we need it, or we can listen to music if we are bored or if we are about to get in trouble. We are always in need of something like that.

  76. I believe that during our generation people have become more and more dependent on technology. We probably stare at our electronic devices more than we have actual human interaction with real people. It has become very important to us. Sometimes, we really need a phone... for emergencies, family, homework... etc! But, we have became too dependent on technology!

  80. yes I think some people are to dependent because phones are sometimes not good teens these days look bad stuff up or text in class and I agree with DBle a lot of people over use technology

  81. I think that when people are born into a world with technology, they don't only just rely on their phones, iPods and etc. they also won't be able to say what they wanted to a real person instead of a A.I.

  82. Well to be honest people actually are sometimes a more dependent on their technology because I find myself with my phone almost everywhere I go trying to get on wifi but other times just for fun when I don't have my phone I am always looking in my dictionary looking for new words to learn
