Argumentative 1

I. Technology is negatively impacting humanity in several ways: it causes addiction, ruins the quality of social interactions, and rewrites the rules of what it means to be human. II. Addiction to technology weakens relationships and makes it difficult to have personal conversations. It can also change behaviors. Additionally, constant connectivity leads to feelings of isolation. III. While technology enables new forms of connection, overuse is spreading people too thin and reducing meaningful in-person interactions that are important for well-being. In the long run, excessive technology use may undermine qualities that make us human.

Technology: pushing the humanity at li

How technology dominates humanity?

Fast transitions and upgrades of technology that are being used imprudently these days can’t deny the
fact that it is useful in today’s present, but it also affects society negatively and complicates our lives.
While it allows the impossible thing to do, there is no doubt that it also causes addiction, ruins the
quality of social interaction and rewrites the new form of humanity to be fit in modern society.

Addiction can weaken the built relationships since an individual cannot interact with other people due
to being used to modern technology. It dangerously affects the ability of people to have a personal and
one-on-one conversation. Aside from this, it can also trigger one’s behavior due to the inability to
separate themselves from mobile devices. Technology has changed how many interact with each other
daily.

Furthermore, connectivity to technology somehow meant as a disconnection to the environment.


Technology seems to be subtly ruining the quality of social interactions that leads to an imminent sense
of isolation in today’s society. Most of the people who left behind suffer anxiety and depression. These
mental complications usually serve as the negative results of too much use of technology. At the same
time, technology also erodes the human character. It separates us from nature, which diminishes our
natural self. Humanity has something to do with the ability to love and have compassion, be creative,
and not be a robot or alien instead technology makes us greedy, unhappy, impatient, insensitive and full
of hubris.

Apart from stated above, it also rewrites the new rules in humanity by leading one’s life into a sedentary
one. Through just swiping, scrolling and clicking such devices can result in instant access to information
that makes a person less self-sufficient. Thus, technology seems to be subtly destroying the
meaningfulness of interactions and self-reliance to do lots of meaningful things in life in an active way.

As a conclusion, technology continues to dominate the humanity since it can result in depression or any
health problems due to some preoccupation with things that don’t add any value to their existence,
disconnects us from the environment we live in and results in both seen and unseen effects that made
the humanity worse. = Although technology has helped in so many ways, there is no doubt that human
interaction, morality, socializing, and standards have changed for the worse. Different nor faster and
more efficient ways of communicating don’t always mean good.

=Little by little, Internet and mobile technology seems to be subtly destroying


the meaningfulness of interactions we have with others, disconnecting us from
the world around us, and leading to an imminent sense of isolation in today’s
society. Instead of spending time in person with friends, we just call, text or
instant message them. It may seem simpler, but we ultimately end up seeing
our friends face to face a lot less. Ten texts can’t even begin to equal an hour
spent chatting with a friend over lunch. And a smiley-face emoticon is cute, but
it could never replace the ear-splitting grin and smiling eyes of one of your best
friends. Face time is important, people. We need to see each other.

While technology has allowed us some means of social connection that would
have never been possible before, and has allowed us to maintain long-distance
friendships that would have otherwise probably fallen by the wayside, the fact
remains that it is causing ourselves to spread ourselves too thin, as well as
slowly ruining the quality of social interaction that we all need as human beings.

Humanityyyy

= humanity. Humanity is the human race, which includes everyone on Earth. It's also a word


for the qualities that make us human, such as the ability to love and have compassion, be
creative, and not be a robot or alien.

= Contrary to Humans. Technology erodes human character. It separates us from nature, which


diminishes our natural self. Out of touch with nature, we behave selfishly, stupidly. We become
consumers instead of receivers. We become artificial. At the extreme we behave like machines.
Technology makes us greedy, unhappy, impatient, insensitive and full of hubris.
