Is Technology a Huge Part of Your Life?




Introduction

Are you constantly on any of your electronic devices? Well you should know that they could affect your brain. Studies show that technology over load can affect the brains ability to store information. In addition you can get very distracted from something that your doing because you are using an electronic. The average teenager owns up to about 4 electronics. Imagine using these all at the same time, many people do it.  Are electronics always a bad thing though? Think about it, if we didn't have electronics the world would not be the same because people use electronics to communicate over long distances, you can search anything you want on Google in a couple of seconds, and people can learn how to do many things from YouTube. 

Communication 

Many people use electronics to communicate with others. For example some kids call there dad or mom who are away over seas or some people use it to talk with their relatives when they can't go see them for a while. You could also use Facebook to communicate with others. If you forgot your homework you can ask someone on Facebook or you can text them. Communication is very important. Imagine having to drive all the way to a different country just to talk to one of your relatives. Or write a letter and wait for it to get there which could take weeks. Without electronics, fast communication would not exist.

The Internet 

Electronics are used to search up things they need to know in seconds. If you need to find out information on a topic for a project in school just search up whatever you need to find out on Google. 99.9% of the time your going to find what you need. If people want to find out how to bake something they can search up the ingredients online. If you want to find out what a word means just search it. Electronics are a quick and easy way to go online and search what ever you need or want to know.
                        

YouTube 

Many people use electronics for YouTube to learn how to make something. There are so many things you can learn from on YouTube. From school based activities to making something fun. For example you can learn how to make a specific type of project in school or like how I learned how to make rainbow loom bracelets from a video in YouTube. YouTube is also great for parents. You want to learn how to repair something that broke, just search it on YouTube. Or you can see a step by step video to learn how to cook your favorite type of food. YouTube is a great and easy way to learn to do many things.

Conclusion

Electronics are great and make a easier life style. You can communicate with others, search anything you want in seconds, and learn many things from YouTube. Instead of having to go look in the library or write a long letter that will take forever to reach where you want it to go, we have these amazing pieces of technology.  Imagine living in a world without electronics. That would be hard for me but not impossible. How about you? Could you live without electronics. Make sure to give a reason why. Post in the comments below. Thanks!
