Continue by analyzing the various negative effects that technology has on society. “When we think about what we want from technology, the first thoughts that come to mind revolve around our limitations and flaws as people. Technology allows us to avoid thinking about the consequences of our actions (Laroya 1)”. Using the phrases “our limitations” and “flaws as people,” Laroya presents the fact that technology allows people to disconnect from their flaws. Every day people have to make decisions that will affect some aspect of their lives. Whether the outcome is positive or negative, that decision is something that cannot be taken back. Technology serves as an outlet for people to disengage from the choices they have made and the factors that disrupted those choices. Things associated with technology such as social media, allow people to escape their reality and portray a different person than they truly are, without technology people would have no choice but to be themselves and face the burden of their daily lives.
