Essay on Impact of Technology on Society
Technology is continuously developing and has begun creating shortcuts for the American society. As a society we need to find a balance
between our technological use and our everyday life. In my opinion, society has become too dependent on technology. The more advanced

by the day" (Sterling). These tools are the main reasons our society has lost the need and desire for critical thinkers. These tools have also had
many other profound effects on our society. These different technological tools have also contributed to the forming of an illiterate society. Hal
