The development of technology has affected people’s lifestyles for a long time. While some people think advanced technology should be limited among young students, I believe the benefits it brought outweigh the drawbacks.

We have to acknowledge that allowing them to use as televisions, computers, and cell phones will potentially cause them to become addicted. In this way, student’s time spent on studying and exercising will be occupied. Also, the quality of completing those works will also decrease. Another potential drawback is those young students may become not willing to speak to and communicate with others. They might spend too much time on the internet and consider it as their “comfort zone”

However, technology is helping people to enlarge their social zone at the same time. It has been easier and easier for people to communicate to each other nowadays. No matter when and where typing, calling, or using face-time can always help you reach the person. Also, if some young people are not good at expressing themselves to others face to face, online communication is the best choice. This alternative can help them to contact various kinds of people as early as possible, thus enabling them to fit in to our society easier.

Also, technology provides students good sources of learning materials. If students want to learn some extracurricular knowledge or search for data and essays on topics you are working on, the internet is one of the best choices they got. Compare to searching for books in the library or asking professors, we only need to enter the keyword, and everything relevant will be represented. The method is really effective and time-saving for young students who are doing research projects.

To avoid the downsides of the use of technology, we need to be self-disciplined. Make good use of it, new technology will become the best tool you have ever had.
