Technology Taking Over

            Many people use different types of technology in their every day life. I personally believe that technology might be taking over some teenager’s lives. A lot of teens can’t go an hour without being on their cellphone or at least checking it. People are becoming dependent on our phones and other electronics. The younger generation has lost its curious nature to explore to world. Instead, children are hiding behind a TV screen or Xbox game (Too Dependent on Technology). Many people are unhappy when they don’t have their phone or any type of technology to use 24/7.

            On one episode of the show “Chrisley Knows Best” the family went on a family trip to their cabin to celebrate their grandma’s birthday. The dad (Todd Chrisley) takes his kids electronics away for the whole weekend. The seventeen-year-old son hated the idea that he couldn’t have his phone for two days! That’s not long at all. He snooped around to find his phone and took it on the boat with him. His dad found out that he brought his phone, and took it and threw it in the water. The son was devastated. That just goes to show that some teens cant even go a day without their phone. It also shows that people aren’t happy without electronics. Twenty-five years ago, there weren’t any phones or iPods, and people were perfectly happy. If only that was the case in this generation.
