Although technology makes the world smaller by enhancing communication and movement, it is gradually being taking advantage of by the whole world which wastes a lot of our time.

Have you ever ask yourself what you do in your spare time? I bet your answer would include technology. Technology kept developing to save us time and work but some people are mainly using it to create amusement which is not wrong but shouldn't be a lot.

Not only does technology waste time, it also creates laziness. If it's not watching too much television it's playing too much games. Technology is great but we need to learn to not get addicted. If you want to use technology you should at least be using it smartly.

As i said before, technology causes laziness and lazy people waste time in all they do.

Just think about our nomadic ancestors, almost always constantly at work. Compared them to us. The whole world is developing to a lazy world. We take technology for granted by overusing it for the totally wrong reasons.

Back in middle school i always came home and the first thing i did was play games. I was a lazy consumer of technology and that really wasted my time because i barely had time for anything else. My grades began to slip because of technology. I began to get a clue when i came to high school.

Technology also wastes our school time because all some kids want to do now is text in class. That is a waste of not only time but also money. 

We should all decrease the use of technologies that waste time. The world will keep getting lazier and lazier with the next generation, thats how it has always been. My mother is always talking about how back in her days they didn't have the tools we had and had to work hard for what they what they want to earn. That is a major example of laziness caused by technology in our world.

Numerous people might think that technology saves a lot of time, but we will get to a point where we are very lazy and we barely do a lot of work.

If we love a specific technology we will eventually get addicted. If we keep going through this pattern the world will really be changed in a while. And if we keep overusing unnecessary technology we will waste the majority of our life's praising technology.
