Has technology taken over my life?

Technology can either be helpful or harmful to people by the way it is being used. Everyday technology is being used for college students as they go to school, do their homework, and communicate with one another. Life has become so much easier for college students with the help of technology since we now all have access to the webs directly from our phones or computers to look something up if help is needed. Questions on assignments can now be used through technology by emailing our professors, group projects can now be done with technology by using Facebook, emails, or chat rooms, and if we are feeling ill we can now get our homework assignments off of blackboard. Although technology is helpful it is also harmful to college students. Technology has now distracted college students in the class room by text messaging, tweeting their friends, and posting new pictures on instagram.  Although it may only take minutes and seconds to do, they are now loosing out on important information their professor may be explaining to the class. Technology has also made students become anti-social with one another because they feel that they are more comfortable communicating over technology. In my opinion technology isn’t making me loose as much as I gain because I am capable of managing my time while not being distracted by technology. When I find myself to distracted from doing my homework assignments or doing things that needs to be done I simply put my phone across the room from me so that I don’t get tempted to pick my phone up and start using it. Technology can be very distracting with all of its new web sites especially if you have a smart phone. For example in my life I am using text messaging, twitter, and instagram all throughout the day. It all depends on the person and if they let technology take over their life or not.
