    Social media allows people to stay connected with friends and family instantly, and access vast amounts of information through Google. Technology has increased efficiency in work and entertainment. It also enables widespread self-expression and creativity through various online platforms. However, overreliance on technology for social interaction and schoolwork can inhibit real-world social and learning experiences. Additionally, technology's dependence increases the risk of issues like malfunctions, plagiarism, and the spread of false information when it fails or is misused.

    Advantages:

    1. Social connections: We now live in an era of social media. Everyone has


    a need to be connected whether it is to their friends and family or to
    information, and social media offers it all. With social media we have
    never been as connected as we are now. Everyone around us can be
    reached instantly with a single click.
    2. The age of Google: Everyone has been in a situation when they didn’t
    know an answer to a question. Before we would have to use extensive
    research to find an answer, now we just use google. You can find an
    answer for almost anything on google and the information comes almost
    instantly.
    3. Efficiency: The use of technology has made all of our lives incredibly
    efficient. Machines now build products at faster speeds, programs can
    help organize and maintain many different aspects of life, and even
    people can usually type faster than they can write. While living in a fast
    pace world, fast paced technology is a must.
    4. Creativity: Today, a majority of people in the U.S. have access to
    technology. This widespread accessibility is helping people express
    themselves in many different ways. Now, you don’t have to be in media
    in order to have your opinions heard. You can post what you are
    thinking on many different platforms for people to see and spread your
    thoughts and beliefs in very creative ways.
    5. Entertainment: Technology has given us many ways to entertain
    ourselves. Various websites, including Youtube, social media, and
    netflix, offer hours upon hours of entertainment for those boring nights.

    Disadvantages:

    1. Social Connections: While some may see social media a positive take on
    relationships, others can see it as the exact opposite. Social media not
    only helps us stay connected, but also keeps us from seeing each other
    face-to-face. The advantage of having access to everyone at our
    fingertips is causing us to no longer meet each other in person. If you
    have a question, you can just instant message someone to find out the
    answer. But, not matter how convenient social media is, it will never
    take over the need to social interaction in real life.
    2. Paper-free classes: Although paper-free classes can be seen as an
    advantage to the environment, it can also be damaging to students. The
    use of technology in classes can sometimes be a distraction from the
    work at hand. While using a smart device with everything one click away
    (including social media), students are bound to let their minds and eyes
    wander to other sites, and not the assignment at hand.
    3. Malfunctions: I think everyone has heard the phrase, “technology is
    great, until it doesn’t work.” There is nothing more frustrating than
    having technology not work right when it needs to. This can cause some
    major problems in a world that is so dependent on technology, and can
    set us back a few hours, and even days.
    4. Dependency: I will be the first to admit that I am super dependent on
    my smartphone and even laptop. I cannot go one day without checking
    my notifications and seeing what is going on in the world. But, this can
    lead to problems. People have become so dependent on technology that
    they don’t try to explore life outside of a smart device and risk missing
    out on many amazing opportunities all around us
    5. Plagiarism: Plagiarism has become a huge problem in academics. With
    information at our fingertips, it is very easy to be able to copy and paste
    information directly from a site, which can lead to very serious
    consequences.
    6. False Information: With more and more people posting on the internet,
    the chances that the information being posted is factual becomes
    slimmer and slimmer. It can be very difficult for people to determine
    whether a source is credible or not. This can lead to false information
    being taken seriously, and changing perspectives of those who believe it.
