![]() Technology addiction The effects of technology on our generation and the upcoming generations is causing us to be more dependent on the internet and our various devices and less dependent on ourselves.This is because as more technology and new innovative apps are being released we become less self-sufficient on our own skills and natural abilities, using technology instead. We our now more reliant on our smartphones,laptops and other devices that possess various tools and services that conveniently make our lives easier. In addition the purpose of technology which is to solve problems succeeds when it comes to math and statistics but fails to improve human problems of the mind, communication, ability, etc. Technology in the lives of young adults In the lives of teenagers and young adults technology has a greater effect. This is a result of teenagers being born into a world where technology plays a big role in society. We know this because every household has a computer, tv or smartphone of some sort.Therefore, having such devices implemented into the mind of any person at such a young age, causes one to develop, function and even grow in a different way than one would do naturally. Also, due to the avid use of technology teenagers have developed the skill of multitasking. The benefit of this is that we are able to complete many tasks at the same time while saving time. Although unfortunately we are also negatively affected because we become easily distracted, lack enough sleep, experience loss of memory and so on. according to a survey done in 2013 millennials are more likely to forget where they put their car keys than people over the age of 55 due to our short attention spans. moreover although there are many benefits to the growing use of technology, there are also many negatives. all of which lead to teenagers and young adults becoming more dependant on technology. The demand for technology What's more,the growing need for technology keeps increasing due to our obsessions with our personal devices. people are now so dependant on technology that many have become addicted to the internet and their smartphones. As stated in a study done in 2012 spending too much time on the internet can potentially cause changes in the brain that imitate habits caused by drug and alcohol addiction. An example of this is internet gamers who neglect food, sleep and being social, all in pursuit of a game. Furthermore, we as consumers demand for more products to be produced. Which is why Society as a whole becomes even more unable to put down our devices for 24 hours. Additionally we have integrated technology so well into our lives that it has even become part of school curriculums in order to teach us new ways to understand it. All in all, technology is here to stay and it will only increase as we demand for more improvements to what we already have.
