You said that technology has changed the world and influenced our lives and has helped people in many ways. Isn't helping people a good thing? Why would people say that technology is more of a bane than a boon when it has helped cured diseases that once could not be cured? I dont see anything wrong in making friends through social networking or mesasging. Adults who are working may not have so much time to go out and meet new people and communicate with them unlike the younger generation. Having technology has made communication so much easier,compared to the past where there were no computers, no handphones and whatever communication device that is now available. therefore I strongly disagree with your point.

Yes I agree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society.

Technology offers many advantages than disadvantages. It has made our life easy, comfortable, simple and luxurious.

Some examples include mobile phones and the internet. Society's need for being able to call on people and be available everywhere resulted in the research and development of mobile phones. They in turn influenced the way we live our lives. As the populace relies more and more on mobile phones, additional features were requested. This is also true with today's modern media player. Society also influenced changes to previous generation media players. In the first personal music players, cassettes stored music. However, that method seemed fragile and relatively low fidelity when compact disks came along. Later, availability of MP3 and other compact file formats made compact disks seem too large and limited, so manufactures created MP3 players which are small and hold large amount of data.

Therefore, I strongly believe that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society.
