Technology
By Vanessa Pelaez
Phones
Every one knows
that the cell phone is one of
technology’s great inventions
because the cell phone can be
good to have. For example if in
an emergency you can call 911
on the phone. Also you can
still talk to people who you
haven’t seen in a long time.
These are some good reasons
that technology is good.
Sometimes phones aren't used
for emergencies. People will
text constantly and forget
what they were supposed to
do. Also kids will be up all
night on their phones and fall
asleep late. These are some
ways technology is changing
our world in a bad way. Not all
kids stay up late.

Technology on the
street
Technology is everywhere, even on
the street. There are traffic lights.
This is something safe technology
made. Technology made to walk
the street easier and for the cars to
know when to drive. The bad part
about having technology on the
street is that people use it when
they are walking and driving which
can cause an accident. For
example, one day when I was
walking back from school I saw
someone with their phone in their
hands and they were not looking
at the road. When the person
started walking, a car came by and
almost ran her over. Technology
can be fun but can cost you your
life.
Cars
Cars are part technology and cars are
good for people who travel a lot but not
far away. Cars are another example of
technology but a car is not such a good
part of technology because cars pollute
the air that we need to survive. Even if
there is electric cars they use too much
energy. Cars are not always bad because
they are very helpful when needed to
carry heavy things.
Games
Technology games are
addicting to kids if they could
they would play the whole day.
Games like the Xbox and Wii,
the kinect, play station, Ds and
more. Kids just can’t get
enough. kids put more effort
into their games than their
homework. Sometimes they
would rush through their
homework just so they could
play. Kids sometimes just won’t
stop playing. It is not just kids it
is also adults. Adults play games
too and sometimes as much as
kids do. Technology games are
good and bad because there are
educating games out there but
kids sometimes don’t get them.
Technology from Apple
Apple is a technology
company that is known all
around. Apple created the iPad ,
iPod and iPhones. Apple helped
our world because we are
becoming more advanced in
technology. Also people I see on
the street always have something
from Apple. Apple might be bad
for kids because the iPod is just
like any other electronic game.
Then kids will sleep late and be
late for school. Even though
Apple might be bad in some ways
Apple is a very well known
technology. Sometimes apple can
be changing our world in a good
and bad way.
TV & Computers
Everyone knows what a TV is but
should you have one? People are
watching too much TV and it is the same
thing with video games they just keep
watching. TV is a good and bad
technology because if there is an
emergency they say it through the TV but
not every one likes watching news so that
is the bad thing. Kids watch cartoons all
day. This is not healthy for kids. That is
why TV is not that good of technology.
There is always a computer to help.
Computers help kids search information
for their homework and can type their
homework. Sometimes kids don’t use the
computer to help them with their
homework. They search things but not
for their homework so a computer is
changing our world in a good and bad
way.
Flash drives
Technology can come in
different shapes and sizes. A
flash drive is helping our
world because you can save
things on your flash drive and
you won’t have to carry
papers and you wont have to
carry any heavy things. So a
flash drive makes it easier
and lighter to bring with you.
Technology
Technology is
everywhere and it is
helping but not always.
Technology can be used
anyway which does not
help us. Technology is
changing our world and life
in a good and bad way but
everything turns out well in
