Is There Such Thing as Too Much Technology?

We are surrounded by technology in our world today. We need technology to start our cars, heat our homes, play music, and give us directions when we’re in the car. In fact, technology plays a role in so much of our everyday life. If we depend on technology so much, how would we know if we’re addicted — that is, we’re so dependent on it, we can’t go without it. Take a look at this video to hear one teenager’s story about technology addiction.

      Hey gcostello28, why do you think you’re playing Lego video games too much? How much time would be better for you?

    Sometimes because every time we have indoor recess I always rush to get my snack and then rush to get my chromebook and then rush to sit on the carpet and log in to my chromebook and start playing games on it.I play on it until the end of indoor recess.

    I have a phone and I think I always need to be on because I have contract with my mom and my dad and my Japanese grand parents and I don’t think that I am addicted because I have a lot of work and homework and because my keep saying:don’t play with your phone Lynn!And this is why I think I’m not addicted.

      When I have a play date with you, we usually just play games on your phone the whole time. It is fun but not good.

      I have not seen you play or listen to music on your phone that often. Are you sure you feel like you are addicted to your phone?

    Yes.
    When I start playing a game on my parent’s phone,I sometimes can’t stop playing because I try to finish the level l’m on and when I’m done I think to myself,”1 more level.”. But when I finish,I play another level— that’s how I can’t stop playing.

    Yes.
    When I play games on my parent’s phones or my sister’s phone or on video games like the Nintendo Switch, and I tell my mom or dad wait until I finish this round but, I just keep on playing on it for about 45 more minutes. Then I keep on doing it until my mom snatches it from me. And I can’t stop playing if my mom doesn’t take it away from me.

    NO because sometimes I want to play outside and you will get addicted to electronics and you can’t be on electronics forever.

    Yes, I play Cat around Asia. I like the game because It has different levels. Even because when I finish every “chapter” there are different foods like cheese. Sometimes I don’t know what the food is. The best part is that there is also Cat around Europe and other ones. So, yes I think I am a little bit addicted.

    NO because i always want to play outside or go on bronx river parkway and exercise. another reason iis that if you get addicted, you will be on electronics for the rest of your life and then you will get glasses which is very bad for me because i do not want glasses
