Technology affecting Society

        Throughout the last few decades, technology has been advancing in many ways that have been negatively impacting our society. The addiction to social media has escalated significantly. Social media sites such as Facebook result in inarticulate and unintelligent people. People expect instant gratification when messaging or commenting to another individual. This has made society much more impatient. Rather than writing letters, we just expect to be answered right away on the internet, which is much faster. Another impact of technology is the way it is affecting children and there mental growth. Much less kids play outside nowadays. They are to consumed in video games, television, and social media. This causes them to lack creativity, and exercise. Video games also result in more violent minded children. Texting is causing people to no longer talk on the phone, this is resulting in people becoming more socially awkward, and less professional when they are face to face with people.
