We can all admit than technology, for the better or worse, is taking over society before our eyes. We can either learn to except it, or choose to ignore it’s power. Personally I believe that technology development isn’t scary at all, rather exciting. There is so much to look forward to and technology and the media in general keep us all on our toes, discovering new technologies all the time.

Every time I walk past a bus stop or am waiting on a platform to catch a train, nearly everyone, and I mean everyone, is either looking down at their phone, or has their earphones in. To some, this is frightening as older generations believe that young children and adolescence these days will have no social skills and less opportunity for social interaction physically. I don’t believe this is the case. Being on social media is meant to connect individuals with each other, creating a larger opportunity to socialise. One may be on their phone texting a friend as they are planning where to meet up for lunch. How is that being anti social? To me, that sounds like being more social.
