I believe that the conveniences of technology far outweigh the negative impacts. This might change in the future but, at this moment in time, the consequences aren't too bad.
I absolutely love technology. I can Google anything. I can set alarms on my phone to remind myself of events and things I have to do. I could communicate with anyone else with a phone in my country. I could keep in touch with friends who live far away. Staying with the current events is as easy as just a pressing a couple of buttons.
Technology makes my life easier. I have all of these things in the palm of my hand.
I also find robot vacuum cleaners very convenient. My family has a few of those. We just turn it on, put it on the floor, and let it go. In several minutes, the room is clean.
I suppose I could say that technology makes me lazy. But nowadays, things can just simply be done with much less effort than in the past. Now, I'm not saying that one shouldn't have to put effort into anything, but I think that using less effort on some things could give us time to put more effort on something that could make our lives better (Or possibly worse... But, who knows?).
A controversy talked about a lot is how the newer generation spends more screen time than time face-to-face. I think technology hinders the social development of people if they are introduced to it at a young age. If a kid is glued to a phone, tablet, or whatever from the moment that kid is able to use one (and if he or she is constantly on it), then I can see where the problem would take hold. I think that as technology develops, we adapt to what situations occur because of it.
