After reading through the Room for Debate articles, the one that popped out at me the most was “Is Digital Connectedness Good or Bad for People?” In the article, journalists argued over how being online has shaped our minds and how we conduct ourselves offline. Journalists also wonder if the change in our minds is helpful or damaging. Some people think that the Internet is creating a bridge to online activism. Many people believe that the Internet helps us make connections and relationships in places we didn’t have access to before. Others believe that it is taking away our privacy by notifying people when they take a screenshot or replay a video. People also believe that the more and more we are online, the more competitive we are because of how often we compare ourselves to other people. What do you think about how technology is affecting us? Do you think the effect of technology is helpful or not?

I believe that technology is very beneficial to the human race. From the development of technology we have made advances in medicine and agriculture that has improved living. The communication access technology also provides us makes it very convenient to reach other parts the world if they are in need of help or if someone just wanted to say hi to grandma on the other side.
