The Dangers of Technology

In this day in age, we are all accustomed to using technology. Technology may be either beneficial and terrorizing. Some of the way that technology benefits us are, we are able to learn and enhance our visual spatial-skills and vocabulary. Another example as to why technology is very beneficial is, we are able to communicate quickly and enhances our ways to share information. The internet is very beneficial for networking and it allows contact with family and friends that are faraway. But, there are also a downfall to technology. One of this down fall is the sexual abuse via internet. There are many sexual predators that are online looking for young teens, social media is usually their main targets. These predators are usually in chat rooms, video games, or internet gambling and they seek out young innocent kids. Because many of the kids are usually vulnerable, they return that attention back to the predator without realizing what they are getting themselves into. It is easy for younger kids to get caught in that act because, more and more younger kids have smartphones and they have easy access to the internet. Parents are less likely to pay attention to what their kids are doing and due to this, the dangers of technology begins to occur.
