Technology has really had a huge impact in the world and not just teenagers are the ones that are getting addicted to these kind of devices, but also younger kids and adults. With these type of things being beneficial and helpful and even sometimes more efficient, there are a lot of negative things that contribute toward others and the earth. A lot of the time most of the devices that we have are not a need but more of a want. There are a lot of trends and influence that make it seem like you have to get that IPhone or IPod just because everybody has it you also have to get it even if you don't need it. New models of devices like Phones, IPods and computers are constantly being made and you could have a brand new phone six months prier to the new one coming out, but the newest one is always wanted because you need to be up to date with the newest technology.
Some of this technology can be very bad because people get addicted to it. You will see people everywhere on their phone or computer or any other device most of the time. People will constantly be checking their ema ils or messages or social media or be playing games on their device. Social media and technology have also served for a bad purpose like posting bad stuff on the internet and cyber bullying and even people creating fake profiles and even some times people trying to cause harm to other people  like trying to get younger kids and kidnapping them in extreme cases.
Technology is sometimes too ahead for most of us and it causes great effects on younger kids that are growing up during this time where the technology is increasing faster and further each day. Now a days you see younger kids with devices like phones and computers at a very young age. Instead of being outside and playing like kids always used to do, they are inside and on there devices. Kids that are starting to do this at a young age is more probable that they will get addicted because of so much influence from everybody including their own parents some of the times. It won't be very good and of much help if the people that are supposed to be shaping the future to be "better" are doing this.
It also interferes with school or work or just any other activities. People often get so attached and addicted to their devices that when they forget it they will be anxious or if they loose it they will be urged to go buy a new one. You will also see that during class students can't wait to check their message so they have to do it even though their priority at the time is to be listening to the teacher and that can bring consequences in your education. People are always alert to the sound of the notification or ringtone of their device or the feel of the vibration of them getting a notification. Even though these devices can be helpful to communicate to friends and family that might be further away it is mostly a want because there are other ways to communicate.
