TECHNOLOGY WILL DISTRACT YOU FROM THE BEST EXPERIENCES IN YOUR LIFE:

Currently it is generally accepted that society it is changing in a rapid speed, moreover we

try to put the blame on the massive usage of digital devices, hence, the way in which
adolescents spend their time it is now quite different. I shall consider two of the proposed
methods such as the role of the family and school environment in favour of all the knowledge
they can offer pupils in order to have alternatives to put into practice in their spare time.

On the one hand, how the family’s behaviour it is vital since it is supposed to be a role model
to be followed by adolescents. Parents have to be able to give choices to their children so
that they can select the most suitable activity to select. The more tasks are we capable of
demonstrating them the less time they will be with technology, sometimes it is a matter of
having different options apart from the digital ones.

On the other hand, schools could also contribute in such a complex activity, learners have to
be aware of the damage that some devices may cause in our brain and how our dairy life
could be affected. Fostering adolescents to work cooperatively in a project where they can
realise the disadvantage that technology has and how it could interfere to follow a welfare
life.

The inescapable conclusion which emerges from what I have mentioned is that there is a
need of education since nowadays we waste too much time in front of a screen, forgetting
that life escapes us rapidly and we are not focus on what really matters. I will conclude my
essay with one of my favourite quotes that it is: Technology is able to bring us closer those
who are far away from us, but it maintains away the ones that are closer.
