- I believe that this year(offcourse) technology is going to increase, new inventions are going to come out of the shadows and several people are going to buy those products that "make life easier." Starting this year I have recently heard numerous of people talking about websites and apps in the Internet, meaning that most people have a phone or computer. I got a laptop computer last year on my birthday and I now have a year with it, officially. I upgraded my phone last year as well and I noticed that I would waste more time with technological device. I found myself searching in the web for random things that are not necessary and would waste my homework time that is necessary. When getting my portable computer I would spend about 3-4 hours in the web just socializing with friends and watching cartoon shows( a major waste of time). When I upgraded my phone I would search for exciting apps that would make my days "easy" and organized. But really I think that technology is helpful for communicating faster, but i think that it also wastes a lot of your time because instead of texting you can make a quick phone call. At the end its the persons decision in what your going to spend your time in; however, most teens spend majority of their life in socializing websites such as: Facebook. For me I would spend my time messing around in the web and wasting my time instead of doing some activity that really helps me in life. This year I am use to having technology but I am not obsessed with it like some individuals that can not live without it. I don't think that this year technology will affect me as last year because I am use to, sometimes, having technology because of economical issues. I can ignore the thirst to text, call, or be in the web and the increase of new technological devices won't affect me because I know the consequences for wasting your time. I wont waste my money and time buying more devices that distract me from being successful, even though sometimes I need a computer for an essay, I know how to limit myself. I will only buy a device only if my old one does not function
