Eq: How is digital technology affecting bad on our society?

The overuse of technology present in the USA shows signs of laziness and
unhealthy behavior. Which leads to a nation of indoor activity and bad eating habits?

or this thesis ‘ digital representation is making us lazier and unhealthy and that it reduce us to stupid chines ordering slop.

(sarrah and abe, tell me which thesis is more powerful?)
Argument 1:-(society)

it made the kids and the teen and some of the adults stop doing there homework

and the some adults stay up all night on the video game trying to finish some level

and go to work late! Which it get all of whos using it a lot dumber because there

always doing the same think and thinking of the same thing. Which it makes there minds close (only open for video games to think).

Evidence: the people I use to live with in the middle east didn’t have that much of

electronic devices from (i-pods, TVs’, cell phones…etc) like the 20 years and up

would have cell phones but they would only use it for emergencies not to text and

waste time or call girls and talk to them for hours probably talking about the same thing again and agin, any American person that living

with all of these device’s would say how are these people in the middle east areliving? I think there living a

better life then us, simple and easy! And there way smarter kids in school always

doing there home works and studying for exam’s they don’t have face book to

distract them or cell phones to text! And an example of that is me, I used to live in

Palestine and then I moved to America, there I had no i-pod , I had a cell phone but

I never texted on it, I just used it for emergencies(none of electronics devices to

distract me from doing my work) I used to do my work in less time than what it

takes me right now! Now when I try to do my homework I be like let me check face

book and do work, then it takes me hours doing that simple home work!

And the proof that people there are smarter, because I think they have less money

and less stuff to make there life easier, and there doing better than us! They work

hard to go to college! Us we have financial aid for who ever doesn’t have money to

pay for college and scholars ships and all that and most of the kids have trouble

going into colleges! Like if the people in the Middle East had what people over here

have from chances to get in colleges and study you would see %90 of them in

colleges, I am not saying there is not smart people over here at all. There is , but I \

don’t think they be addicted to digital devices as who were talking about from the American that be using digital devices like crazy!

From using digital devices a lot were not paying attention to what’s happening in the

World, like this ozone problem that’s happening from us using plastic stuff and

Burning them and burning other stuff and using cars , all of that dirty the air!.

This ozone problem is causing a lot of bad things, one of those things, the number of

The people getting skin cancer is going up, were just playing video games, who cares

About “68,720 person that gets a skin cancer a year”wekipedia its not us who’s getting it,

We can help to stop the number on going down, but we don’t know how we going to do

That, we can search it but why would we? In the 10 minutes that would take us searching

How we can stop that problem we can play video games or text someone! Isn’t that

Ignorant, who knows probably next year it be one of are family who’s having that

Problem! Why couldn’t we stop all of those stuff and pay more attention to the world and

What’s happening, more than what levels were at in this video game or what’s happening on that t-v show!

Technologies made are life easier but it tokes from us more than what it gave us,

from being smart and healthy to being unhealthy and less smart and the worst part

that were paying for these devices a lot of money like an example($230 just for an i-

pod touch) we can buy food for the whole week and for the whole family with this

$230 isn’t that crazy? Aren’t we paying money for something that hurting us! . I’m

not saying technology is not good at all, I know it made some of things way easier

than before but in the same time it hurts us if we use it wrong, a good example of it

is a knife and the knife depends on how you use it, you can use it to help you cut

something, and it can hurt you if you use it wrong!

Argument 2:-( and it makes the people who use digital devices a lot, get

a bad health! From sitting down not moving and eating and looking at the screen

not moving, but why were still doing it while we know its bad for us and how we got addicted to it?

Evidence: Anyone in this world wish to have the best body and no one wish to be fat,

and the only way to get the best body is to work out or play sport so if we use a lot

od digital devices we would never get that best body and be happy we would be fat and be sad!
(to connect it again to the middle east) in the Middle East I don’t see that much of fat and unhealthy

People most of them go play sport on the weekend not

Sit home in front of screens and get fatter and fatter, eating fast food the food we

order on the phone because (were 2 lazy to make food in are kitchen from are clean hands and clean kitchen tools)

And sitting in front of screen (TV or computer or PSP…etc) for hours not moving just

opening are eyes makes the person gets fat no matter what!

What do we get from the digital devices (TVs or computers…etc) ok let’s say we use

them to talk to people, but what ells? Making some dreams and were just talking and

talking and were not doing anything to make are dreams to come true, because we

don’t have time to do anything ells from using the digital devices! So we just get

those huge dreams that are never going to come true, I connect that huge

unhappening dreams to the movie wall e the robot collect the garbage and do it as a

square and put all of those squares on top of each other till he made buildings, I

think those building (that made of garbage) are like the unhappening dreams!

How we got so addicted to it and why we never stopped doing it even though we know its not good for us?

The way a person gets addicted to digital devices, goes like this “the person having

nothing to do all bored sitting home after school or work, so he try to find anything

to makes him get out from the bored mood he’s in, so the only thing he goes 2 is a

digital device to use like(computer TVS, video games..etc), then the second time he

be bored, he do the same thing, and then he have things online that makes him

wants to go back and check it like”facebook, email…etc” or there is shows makes

him go back to the TV to see what’s going to happen next, or wanting to finish the

level of the video game your playing, little by little the person knows more and more

about what’s there on the computer or t.v shows and then he be trying everything,

and then HERE WERE ADDICTED, now we know that there is bad affects from it, we

have to stop it or use it less than how much we do, we try and we fail because we got used to the laziness and sitting down and not moving.



Argument 3: it brings sickness to who use it a lot!

Yes it does bring sickness when we use it a lot, how?
When you get fatter from sitting down watching TVs and eating, the fat brings the

sickness like diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers and heart problems. These are

sickness from being fat, and how we got fat, from watching TVs and eating fast food !

Another thing that affect bad on us from digital devices are vesion getting bad from the

laser that the screen gives any screen (small lentando screen, T.V screen, or it can be

computer screen) and then we need glass’s or contact lenses which it means paying more

money, first we paid for the digital device and now were paying to fix the bad thing we

got from the device we bought, its paying money and money , while we can save all of

that money and just go play sport and be active and healthy and not wear glass’s or have

any sickness because were fat, all of that by just using less digital devices, we understand

that many people can not live with out digital devices, or they cant imagine there life with

out digital devices(that’s who’s addicted to it), but were not saying stop (text or watch t.v

or face book…etc) were just saying use it less than what you do, and for who’s not

addicted to digital devices, I tell them to first look at the device and think how its going

to help them and how its going to make them worse, and just take the good things and

leave the bad stuff! This way well has a better world and better thinkers!


Overall, digital devices are affecting bad on our society and us, its bringing

sickness to us and making us not to do are actual work and waste are time on
stupid stuff!
