"Technology is becoming more prevalent in our lives and world. There are pros and cons to this situation. Discuss both, and state whether you see more pros or cons with this."

Is a real thing that we can not live without technology these days or at least it should be very difficult. In one day we use a cellphone, a tv, computers, and machines for everything: coffe, papers, food and to pay all that things. A impressive thing of the week in fact is that the new Metro line has no driver or cashier so if they do not have securuty people you do not see people working in there.

A lot of people love the fact that there are not people working there mainly because is faster to charge the Bip card. Is well known that people are slower than machines and that they make less mistakes. Another reason because we use a lot of this machines or smart stuff is because they made our lives much more easy and even fun, for example when I am in home and remember a had to read a text that i do not have in paper, most of the time I can download it and have it in seconds in my coputer or IPad and even in my cellphone so I can read it anywhere. And when you are bored in a space where is nothing to do you can be on social media and comunicate when people or see videos, bacause it is like the principal reason we use tecnology now is not for the original reason.

In contrast we have to fight to the web sites that somethimes are the only way to ask for an appoinment o change your information of pages of the goverment. This last one is a real problem to old people because most of them do not know how to use computers or advanced technology and the goverment most of the time ask to people to enter a web site to do paper work that you used to do in an office. Here we can see another problem: people are getting without their jobs because of the machines that replace them, and it is something that we used to read when kids as science fiction but now is real. Maybe this is going much more fast that we can and is definetly making changes in the society, for example kids get home from school and the lock inside computers and video games and is well known that it contribute to health problems, a thing that was unusual even when we were kids.

I apreciate more the technology that con be use for only one or two propouses, like washes machines. Maybe if we get too into the not really nesessary technology things we can lose our mind, like we do on Facebook. Also we need to apreciate the work for the people and not try to replace it because it can be bad used.

In conclude, we need technology, is not bad to create things that make our lifes easier but we need to think in how it can and will be used, the people that will be afected and try to think on all de consecuences.
