Speech - Technology exceeding humanity - Natasha

Hello! Good morning everyone. Nowadays, technology is becoming more advanced. It has been used both for good and for bad. Einstein has stated that “technology has exceeded our humanity”. I truly agree with the statement.

People are trying to use technology to do good; however, somehow it may be used in a wrong way. Firstly, technology is now replacing people; when compared to the past, fewer workers are needed;. Nowadays technology is doing everything for us. Am I right? Which leads to lack of jobs and this even makes people lazy. Some people might argue this because in other perspective it’s a benefit because when using technology in the workplace, work is done quicker and more efficiently. Secondly, technology is currently destroying our environment as cars have been developed; therefore, pollution from them is destroying the environment and our health. I understand that this makes our lives easier but looking from a different perspective it is also very harmful. The most obvious reason is that we are addicted to technology, addicted to mobile phones, social media and this leads to bad issues. Furthermore, this especially occurs in the case of teenagers, which can accordingly lead to the effect of having bad eyesight or even time management problems; people are too addicted to technology so they can’t leave it behind.

On the other hand, technology have helped us in certain ways. Technology can benefit us in educational situations as it is a very useful and effective tool to use. It helps us to gather information that we don’t know and even helps us to translate words. Technology is currently spreading out on a wider area. Not just in school, also in workplace and other areas.

Finally, I’m coming to the end of my speech.I am not saying to abandon technology or not to use them, but just for all of us to use it carefully and the right way. Don’t let technology control us. Thank you for your attention.
