Story Two Narrative

     Many people would disagree with my opinions on technology , but maybe if you know why I feel this way , your thoughts could change . Throughout the years , technology has become more & more a part of people's everyday life . People have become so consumed with technology , that most of my generation doesn't know the meaning of true work . Although people can list many positive reasons technology should be available to the everyday people , I can list a lot of negative as well . One main reason you can say that it is mostly negative could be how many have been harassed , cyber stalked , and cyber bullied online . Not a lot of us know how to have manners apparently . Behind the screen , most think it's easier to say what you want , say how you feel , & act how you wish you could have the guts to in real life . Thinking that nothing you say or do would get back to you from the internet & so on , is a big part of why I am against some technology . If you don't know how to use it , you should not be allowed . Many children have been pursued by older men or women due to online chat rooms as well . Everyone seems to want to pretend they are another age , until they get kidnapped , raped , or killed . Using technology has opened a door to more than the population can handle . Scams have been a big part of technology today as well , because it's so easy to make fake websites , fake businesses & more . Even things like rumors about celebrities have shown up through the internet , which can ruin their careers & even though it may sound dramatic , their lives . A big part of my opinion comes from the car accidents leading to serious injury or death from texting . There are studies that actually show accident rates have gone up . Also , most of the time , it is shown that texting while driving or talking on the phone while driving , could be worse than driving drunk . A small portion of negative thoughts come from the little fact that most people pretend to listen to you while being on the phone , but they don't . On top of that , most people have gotten so use to using social networks such as Facebook , myspace , & Xanga , that they don't have proper social skills in person . Now most people think " hanging out " with their friends , can be considered as talking through networks like these . Even Aim , Yahoo , & Skype have been used to connect to friends too . A couple positives could be how doctors use technology , scientists use technology , & even dentists . Research has benefitted many . Also , relatives who were " long lost " could find each other easier to re - connect . Tracking devices have helped find kids or cars as well . Other than those , technology has not helped in many ways other than to mass produce creating pollution from factories , & to make our lives too simple , yet too complicated at the same time . It's funny how technology could bring a person closer to death , & save someone's life .
