Introduction
The modern world has introduced many wonderful inventions that have made life more convenient. Household chores that once took all day to complete can be finished within an hour; traveling far distances that once took weeks to cross now take a matter of hours. Letters that may have taken months for a loved one to receive, if they weren’t lost in transit, can be substituted for a clear and almost instantaneous text message.
Perhaps most conveniently, the average person can research any question they have in an instant. With computers and smartphones, a person has the entire history and collection of human knowledge at their fingertips. All you have to do is ask Siri or Google, and you can earn yourself a good-old-fashioned “YouTube Degree!”Yet as spectacular as these technological achievements are, there are of course pitfalls that come with such an amazing ability. No one can have it all, and there must be drawbacks. Nothing is for free, as they say, and this is certainly the case with an increase in technology being apart of everyone’s daily life.
