Technology For Teens, Good or Bad?

Technology, today became one of the elements in the earth’s that grows very fast.(complex
sentence).We, as modern human, at this time is no wonder anymore when seeing people using
mobile phones wherever they are(complex subject). In taxis, markets, houses, and even when
driving, people still use of their phones.One the other hand, we see that the use of technology is
dominated by teenagers(complex sentence). They are very quick to accept and understand how to
use technology. (compound sentence) .There are many students from elementary, junior high
school, senior high school, and university that consistently using technology ranging from mobile
phones, computers, internet, and games.(complex sentence)

Is technology good or bad?

Technology is a group of devices that can be bad for the development of teenager’s
life(complex sentence). First, many spread of information is not filtered anymore(single sentence).
The information “whether it’s bad or good”, it quickly spreads from one device to another(complex
sentence). As a result, many teens are accessing pornography and searching bad
content.(compound sentence)

Second, the addiction to the internet and games, makes the teens forget that they are social
creatures who must interact with other( compound complex sentence). I see many cases where
people meet at a place. They do not talk; they just “chat” with their friends who are so far
away(complex sentence). They prefer to interact online using Facebook, Twitter, Path, Instagram,
and other social medias rather than interacting in real life by talking directly to the people who are
near them.

This is a contrary ideology for us(the people of Indonesia)(single sentence). We should

create a society that is tolerant and caring with each other(complex sentence) When this situation
continues, we will lose our identity. Indonesian teenagers will grow up to be people who do not care
about each other, do not like to socialize, and do not even know the people around them.
 However, although the technology has a devastating effect, behind this sophistication
developed by humans, of course, it also has many good effects.

First, technology is a device that is able to increase the speed and effectiveness of
information flow.(conplex sentence ). We are no longer a conventional man who must send a letter
if we want to communicate with a long distance friend and we are no longer human being who have
to wait for days to get a reply message from a friend. Nowadays, everything became easier because
of technology. We are able to send messages using e-mail and SMS within a few seconds. We are
able to chat with old friends who haven’t met for a long time while she or he lives far from where we
live(compound complex sentence). We are able to chat with them using BBM, Facebook, Whats Up
Messenger, Line Messenger, and many more.

Second, technology is a very good business media campaign. We certainly recognize the
Internet, a medium of information that can be accessed by millions people from all over the world,
whenever and wherever they want. When the Internet is used to promote a product, then there
must be many consumers who come to buy the product. The marketing strategy by the Internet, is
also used by teens. I find that many high school or university students consistently having a business
by using Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or BBM. It is the impact of technology
that are very positive and should be supported by everyone. Using the internet, a teenager does not
need to have a big fund to make a business. They do not have to prepare tens of millions to rent a
place as a store. They just need to utilize their mobile phones to sell and make money.
