Technology. Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their inter-relation with life. However, there are good and bad things about it. Take for example, a mobile phone, it may seem that it has ample benefits but, there are some disadvantages too.
Our technology is constantly improving causing our life to be made easier and much more convenient. Due to technology, communication around the world has been made possible and companies are able to set up branches all around the world. In the future years, technology could be so advanced that cures for incurable diseases would be found.
However, there is a downside to such improved technology. For example, automobiles are becoming more advanced and the demand for them is higher. When automobiles are widely purchased and used, more carbon monoxide is being produced by these automobiles. Carbon monoxide is a type of harmful gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. This greenhouse effect will eventually deplete the ozone layer away which causes global warming. Therefore even technology has its threats.
In conclusion, technology can be a promise and even a threat to us. New technology can help us in ways but we also have to take note how it can harm us. It all depends on how we manage it and we must do our part do our part to stop global warming.

Has the internet caused more harm than good?
Has the internet caused more harm than good? There is no direct answer to this question, so, the answer can be either yes or even no. The answer varies because different people have different points of views. For me, the answer is no, the internet caused more good than harm because, now, the technology is so advanced that we cannot live without computers because they are already part of our lives. Since computers are already part of our lives, then what about the internet?
The internet displays a vast amount of information that can be access easily. The information that the internet displays are useful to students like us and even working adults because projects are given to us and we need to do research on it. The search engines in the internet for example: google and yahoo will provide us with the information we need in a blink of an eye.
Other than providing information, the internet also can be used to communicate with other people online. For example, the MSN messenger is much more convenient than talking on the phone, wasting money and breath. The MSN messenger is free and can be used anytime you want and we can send files and pictures through MSN. Other than MSN, the E-mail also can send files and pictures to one and other almost immediately.
After long hours of studying, games and songs in the internet can help to distress ourselves. The games can be played for free and songs can be listened and downloaded for free. For this, many teenagers are addicted and many parents agree with the question, the internet caused more harm than good. Other than that, the computer reflects radiation, the addiction will cause their eyesight to deteriorate and it might effect their studies too.
To me, the internet caused more good than harm but you must exercise self-control. If you over used it, of course, it will not be good and effect your health and studies. If you know how to control yourselves, the internet will be very useful and you will enjoy the usage of it.
