Technology Changing Our Lives


Over the last few years, technology has been rapidly changing and expanding in every possible way. Is technology a real game changer in our life? Do you think that human life will be totally digitized in 20 years’ time? If you pause for a second and pull yourself out of the hustle and bustle of your daily busy life and think deeply about how much technology you are using, you will really be amazed. How many times do you use your phone to make calls, text, socializing digitally, checking your Facebook, Twitter or Integra? How much time do you spend online jumping from one website to another, reading , researching or just making new acquaintances? How much time do you spend with your family and friends in REAL world socializing face to face
The development and improvement of technology has improved our daily lives in very many ways. We can communicate with people across the world with laptops, phones, iPods, IPods, and tablets. It has become more efficient, faster, and easier with Skype, Face time, Snap chat and even texting. The world business has improved with technology, by advertising through internet and promoting the business in a faster way. Teaching with technology has improved and gives different ways of learning that maybe easier too, such as using PowerPoint, projectors, blogs and even 3D images. The education system has changed by technology dominating over white boards and blackboards. Nowadays, you can even take courses online at home without having to attend a classroom to learn.

Even though technology has improved our daily lives, it has also brought down our social skills and making us lazier than we already are. Cellphones have made us reachable no matter where we are which can’t always be a good thing. When you use social media, it would show others where you are located. All of the texting, and emailing has made us impolite, and not very good at socializing face to face. All of the talking, texting, and emailing has made us less able to socialize face to face with others. Kids no longer want to play outside because they have Wii or PlayStation in their house to play with. When you go to a friend’s house now, you don’t play "cars" or " "barbies" anymore you play video games for the hours you will be with your friend. iPads, nintendo that are portable have kids/ teenagers bringing it along everywhere with them, which causes bad eye sight and back problems in the future. This goes for everyone no matter how old you are.

Technology has changed our lives for the better and for the worse in terms of communication, computing, dining, entertainment, and travel.

  1. This is really great topic since almost everyone can relate to this.Your key points are really great and persuasive. If I were to give you a tip, I would try using a rhetorical question for your hook. It'd be the best way to grab the audiences' attention quickly, especially for this type of speech. Also, make sure you have some sort of interesting fact or something similiar to that so you won't lose your audiences' attention. Otherwise, i think your speech is actually really great.

  2. You speech is one that almost everyone in your audience can relate too. It was fun to read and enjoyable. However I suggest that your introduction shouldn't be completely made up of question. Although questions are very helpful in making the speech more enjoyable maybe too many won't work. I say this because if you ask too many questions your audience won' t have time to think about the last question you just asked. Also i think you should add a bit more information that may come as a surprise to your audience. Lastly some of your sentences were to choppy. But other then that you've got a great topic and your speech was informative and fun to read.

  3. As a subscriber of an Australian broadband service provider, I know that technology can also bring some harm to human if misused. Moderation and discipline should be in line with technology usage.
