    We can no longer live without technology according to the document. Technology has become deeply ingrained in our everyday lives from using washing machines and watching TV to online classes and remote work during the pandemic. Nearly 60% of the global population are now internet users. While technology has made life easier and more productive, its rapid development has also caused environmental damage and health issues if overused like increased screen time leading to problems like eyestrain and addiction.

    We can no longer live without technology.

    First and foremost, technology has a broad meaning. According to dictionary.com, it is the branch of
    knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life,
    society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied
    science, and pure science. Believe it or not, even before our ancestors were born, technology already
    existed- in its simplest form. Stone tools are the first known technological invention. In the early 20th
    century, technology started to rise inevitably. It has taken over the world. And as years passed, it
    continuously breakthrough, and it has become a vital part of our everyday life. Imagine from stone tools
    to sensor and voice automated gadgets we have today. These technological advances and inventions is
    undeniably a game-changer.

    We can no longer live without technology. As this statement goes, I, myself, totally agree with this. And
    this is seen by just observing anywhere. According to Statista.com, almost 4.57 billion people were
    active internet users as of July 2020, encompassing 59 percent of the global population. But let us not
    limit the technology to the use of the internet since technology is more than just using the internet.

    Your mother using a washing machine to clean your clothes, your brother watching television, your
    father talking to someone using his cell phone, the vehicle you use when going somewhere far, the
    laptop you are using now for an online class, the tractors used by the farmers, the food we are eating
    was processed by machines. Especially now, that we are facing a global pandemic, technology is widely
    and highly used by medical professionals and front liners to stop the virus’ spread and to find a cure, and
    also it is essential for us common people, to continue with our lives without having physical contact as
    mostly everything is done through online transactions. Do you see it? Technology is rooted in us ever
    since it was invented and discovered. There are so many possibilities we can do through technology. It
    has made our life way easier, more connected, more engaging, more productive, and more creative.

    Even so, it is not all advantages, it also has its drawback, if not use well. Because the progression of our
    technological state overwhelms our Mother Nature- it cannot keep up with the advances happening
    around and also adversely affect our physical, mental, and emotional state. These are some proofs that
    support these claims. The toxic air pollutions and chemicals released by factories that also contribute to
    the destruction of our nature, deforestation, extinction of wild animals because their habitat is being
    transformed into a commercialized place. Additionally, too much exposure to technological devices such
    as cellphones, laptops, tablets, computer, and such can lead to serious health conditions, like, eyestrain,
    obesity, insomnia, addiction, and depression, especially to us Gen Z, which are the generation of
    younger people, after all, we are the most exposed and engaged to these technological devices and
    various social media platforms. These are just some of its unfavorable effects if misused.

    Given all this, this does not change the fact that we are moving the same path, which is forward. We
    cannot go back to life before where technology is not present to aid us in our day-to-day living. Years,
    decades will pass and our lives will become more advance and technology-dependent until the
    foreseeable future. People are eager to learn how to make their life easier than what we have
    experienced today. This is why, I am a firm believer that, we can no longer live without technology.
