Many people think technological devices such as smart phones, tablets and mobile phones bring more disadvantages than advantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In recent years, smartphones became a massive trend among all people. There are some people who believe that they can cause harm more than be useful to their owners, while others disagree. I tend to agree with the latter statement and I will support my view with arguments.
There is no doubt that the “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)” is a huge concern among educators. FOMO is caused by the addiction that social media provides to their users.
For instance
, many people spend most of their time with their faces almost attached to their smartphones screens, scrolling the news feed that never ends and desperately seeking for their followers' likes on their publications. Those who argue that these devices are causing havoc to their owners claim that these gadgets are guilty for this
problem. However
, this
is like blaming a baseball bat for manslaughter. Had the tool been used for its original purpose, never would we have been discussing such
an absurdity.
It is important to consider how our lives have improved with cutting edge technology. Nowadays, we can get anywhere we want to go without worrying about the path: our gadgets instantly lead us. Moreover
, we are not forced to physically attend in several situations due to the possibility of online conferences. To illustrate this
, it is interesting to notice how universities do not have to stop their lectures even during a pandemic. Are they still providing knowledge to their students. Had this
pandemic occurred a decade ago, never would they have been able to continue with their activities. For this
reason, I strongly believe that tablets, smartphones and other similar devices are extremely beneficial to humans.
In conclusion, even though harm can be caused by the misuse of any instrument, it is undeniable the benefits that the rapid access to information of any kind and the possibility of easy communication between any people caused by this
technology is terrific.Submitted by agenciabrushup on
