With the Good, Comes the Bad



Many people debate with eachother when it comes to deciding whether modern-day communication technology is a positive or negative thing. This debate goes on because people have different views on technology. Nonetheless, people should know that modern-day communication technology isnt only a positive thing and not a negative thing, or vice versa. The truth is, modern-day communication technology has both a good and bad side. For example, a cellphone, used by numerous people, allows you to call anyone anywhere but it also makes you a target for theft because people who dont have this might want to take yours. Another exmaple of a communication technology that has both a good and bad side is chatrooms such as msn. Although these chatrooms allow you to talk to any of your friends or family anywhere in the world without physical contact, your privacy maybe be lost, it's a distraction and your security can be at risk. Also, as Ms.Largo said, modern-day communication technologies such as blogs also have a positive and negative side as all technologies do. Blogs let you express your feelings and thoughts to the public or to friends, but because of this it does take away your privacy - your feelings or thoughts become available to even people that weren't for your entry. As you can see, technology has its fair share of likeable and unlikeable things. Instead of arguing whether modern-day communication technology is a good or bag thing, we should just accept the consequences or advantages that come with it because it will most likely never change, at least not right now.
