Interactive Society Everyone has seen that boy with music blaring out of his purple earphones, the girl texting on the phone, and the teenager on the phone communicating with society. As a teenager, I constantly use technology in my daily life. Either at school or outside of school. I feel that teenagers rely so much on today's technology that it could have harmful effects on teenagers. Today's youth are constantly engaged in technological progress. technology promotes continuous communication and instant gratification. whether via mobile phones, gaming systems, laptops or iPods. Are these technological advances a good thing? The growth of technology has negatively affected the social interactions of today's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication and affects adolescents' ability to learn. The ability for people to surround themselves with the familiarity of their place of comfort using technology is appealing. because it rarely provides the user with something unexpected or unfamiliar. Being constantly cut off from personal interactions and new experiences due to a technological device. A generation with substandard social skills is emerging.

Our world must learn to embrace technology without allowing it to negatively impact the creation of functional adults in society.
