  • Time-waster: "Technology is the key to procrastination," said Kenny Kobetsky, 14. Eighty percent of the class said they had missed sleep because of playing on the Internet, 50 percent said they had forgotten to do homework for the same reason. "The Internet is just so tantalizing," said Nick Gregov, 14. "I actually think McDonald's is healthier than my computer," added Blake Billiet, 13. Though the students did admit that the Web and cell phone can save time that used to be burned up driving to the store or library, few felt that these gains exceeded the many hours wasted on text or Web surfing.

      This represents the negative side of technology and it is affecting all ages from various important tasks

    technology is just easier to access and has more entertainment on it that doesn't mean it is by itself bad for us because kids will always pick something more fun than homework because homework is boring. if you had the chocie between having a party or hanging out with friends and playing a game outside or doing homework i wouldn't pick the homework.

  • "Look, when you're talking to a 'friend,' you don't really know if it's really them -- especially if they are introduced by someone else," said Peyton Yniguez, 14.

      This is a negative to technology because you really do not know who you could possibly be talking to. You could be talking to a murderer for all you know, or it could just be a bad person not as drastic as a killer. this is if you do not know the person you are talking to.

      natrualy, the inventors of such awesome caliburs of technology are not willing to dontate or reduce their price for the good of man kind, rather just to make some type of profit out of it.

    the wonders of technology. no matter what you do it only advances. as shown in this article there are computers and machines that can work, almost, like a robot. with the help of this new tech it can cause some simpler and easyer surgrys. in regards to the book feed, technology there is beyond what we can do now. but because of these "robots", with each day we, in the present time, get closer and closer to a similar future.

    i think thats really cool that we can to do that it just makes me wonder if robots are going to take over the medical field if they can just program the robot to do it for them with out issues.
