Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology


An advantage always comes with a disadvantage.  In this explanation I will be explaining some of the advantages and disadvantages about being online and having technology.

Firstly an advantage, an advantage about technology’s existence is that it is a much more efficient way to do things. It is faster and it is a way to
learn on a global scale without students having to leave their classroom. When online you can research about things globally, it can occur from anywhere around the world. Luckily, google has been supplied with many websites and blogs that can help provide any information that has been requested. Sadly, with this advantage comes many disadvantages for example scams, ads, and viruses. These can all pop up at any time and on any site. These can cause lags and give other people from anywhere around the world the opportunity to hack into your device and blackmail you, steal your information, catfish you, cyber bully you, stalk you, and many more harmful things. These things can cause death, pain, depression, and suffer.

The last piece of information I have is that google doesn’t always tell the truth. You may be doing some research and go onto a website like wikipedia, but on wikipedia anyone can add information. If you were to research about history and go onto wikipedia you don’t know if it’s telling the truth or not. Therefore, you will have to go on several websites to see if it has the same information you have been given. This is time consuming, especially if you only have a little bit of time for your research.

These were some of the advantages and disadvantages about having and using technology either too much or things that happen naturally. I hope you have learnt something in this piece of writing.
