  1. Hey…..so technologies…what technologies do i have in my life? Well all the avarege technologies, that almost every now a day person have, like PC, Phone, TV…… well u know. The advantages of technologies…Now a day’s technologies do EVERYTHING that we want and need, people can’t live with out them now..The disadvantages of technologies is ..well they cost’s money and spends electricity …On the one hand it’s nice to have a dishwasher but, on the other hand i CAN wash my dishes with my hands if i wanted to.. Also i can wash a car with my hands, but i better spend money and drive to a car wash, where they use TECHNOLOGIES.. In my opinion people will kill them self with technologies maybe not now not in 5 or 10 years, but maybe in 20 or 25 years , and that will be the ”END OF THE WORLD”.

  2. Hmmm, what technologies are in my life? Tehchnologies in my life are big importance. Because 21.gs, haha. We are used to use technologies our lifes. (Computers, TV, tables, smart phones etc.) If ever the ability to do without smart phones etc, then now no! In my opinion we are accustomed to the technologies. Sad. On the one hand tecnologies is a big + but on the other hand tecnologies is a big – . Why? The + it that, technologies it has its advantages. We have easier contact to peoples. But technologies degrades us. There are so many and + – ! In conclusion, In would like to add that, Time goes on, and things change for the better.

  3. Technologies is very important thing in my life. Because every day everywhere i use technologies. In school some lessons we use computers, interactive whiteboard and telephones. At home i use telephone, televison , computer and other things. In my opinion, it is very difficult to live without the technology of the day.
    With the technology we can communicate with people from a distance, we can learn a lot, as well as to learn something new.
    The disadvantages of technologies are such that it takes most people time doing unnecessary things, during which might do something useful.
    Today, technology is evolving very rapidly and I think that in the future, they will develop more.I think that in future we can expect to see more new things.

  4. In my opinion, technologies are my life. I use technologies a lot in my life, really, a lot. I cant imagine my day without my phone, without my computer, without my tablet, its just like a another life, the social things like twitter, instagram, they like take people minds and people starts to be addicted to social portals. I remember, when i was young, i was waking up like at 8am at morning, and i just brushed my teeth and i took the ball, and just run to basketball court, and just played the ball whole day! That was amazing, but now, the technologies rule the world.

    On the one hand… Hmm… In some lessions, we can use the internet to find the answers to some questions, thats kinda all, i dont see more advantages for technologies… (atleast for me)

    On the other hand… Some of technologies eat people minds, some, help them to live. I just dont like how we use computers, etc, we even dont go out so often, just to shop.. uhhh..

    The future of technologies is bright… I think, in 100-200 i see flying cars, some robots, and things like that.. cool stuff, in my opinion.

  5. In my opinion that is awesome to have technologies like these, we are able to do more crazy stuff in our lives. For example ”Jetman”, you are able to fly like a bird, it’s not the same as flying with plane, because with plane you don’t move your body while you’re flying, you just sit there and control the plane.
    On the one hand it’s awesome to have mobile technologies, because you can make social contact through internet. I’m using mobile technologies everyday, for example my mobile device – my phone. I’m texting my friends, checking stuff out on internet and playing games on it. You can find a lot information about stuff, for example you can finish your homework using internet.
    On the other hand it’s not cool because my mobile device has a battery and it’s not going for ever, I have to charge it before using it again, if it’s out. Technologies can make your eyes damaged and that’s not cool and a lot of teenagers are using these kind of devices.
    In conclusion, I would like to add that you can use technologies, for example your mobile device, but not too much, because it can damage your eyes. But on the other side you can gather a lot of information from these kind of devices.

  6. In my life I mainly use just a personal computer, but I don’t use my phone a lot, just use it for the clock, alarm and talking to family or friends. Technology is very important to me, I use it for knowledge and to have fun in my free time with computer games or just sitting in the internet.
    In my opinion, everyone uses technology today, even if it is smaller and more primitive than all the newer inventions and innovations. Technology can be found anywhere and it is very useful to almost everyone. Younger people use the newer technology since they’re used to it and know how to use it better than older people. Many older people and seniors don’t like technology everywhere since they aren’t used to it and are too arrogant to learn.
    As there are with most stuff, technology has its downsides. A lot of people speak with their friends on websites, programs or phone apps to speak with their friends. It might sound good, even more if friends or family are out of town or in a different country, but it makes it harder for kids to speak face to face with people, since you cant really see emotions and facial expressions in text they send.A lot of kids use the internet to have fun and play games, they don’t go outside so they don’t get much exercise.
    It is obvious that technology has a future, since people will keep innovating new, revolutionary devices and items. I would like to add, that we can’t really predict what it will look like. If you look back at peoples predictions of the future from history, it always looks very silly compared to us now, so it is probably going to be the same with the current predictions.

  7. In my life i usually use computer and my phone. I use computer to play video games with my homies and talk with people. I’ve got a lot of friends because of computer. I use my phone not that often.
    In my opinion the new tech are really good for our world. There will be less deaths and sickness. In later future there will be mechanical body parts. That will take over the world. There will be mechanical body parts every where like in sports,fashion,movies and war. There will be Cyborg soldiers. The future will be scary and dangerous.
    In the good side there will be a lot of food and material. In the late future we will explore other planets like marss and other planets. We might live on moon and abandoned the earth. In the future we will see like robots and flying cars. In 2020 the NASA will be able to find other living creature or persons a.k.a Aliens. In later future we might have much stronger nukes and weapons. It might cause world end and stuff like that. They might even destroy like spacific countries. In future there will be very huge cyberbullying andcyberterrorism.
    So these are my thought about future and e.t.c.

  8. I think technology ar amazing and I want more in my life. My life there are many different technologies . For example mobile phones and computers . Through computers and phones you can practically control their lives. Technological development of different ways . Technology develops many different ways for example military direction to protect soldiers and use the battlefield less human . Various development also in other sectors for instance aircraft development, transport and many other . They may disappoint if not fully developed or we can stay too lazy and do nothing at all . The future technology will be able to do almost everything .

  9. In my life, technologies are really important. I don’t know what i would do without my Mobile Phone, Computer and even the TV, etc. On the average I use technologies nearly all day.
    In my opinion, these days, technologies have huge advantages on us. Technologies are fun to use, most of the time. The best advantage is, that technologies do stuff for us, they help us, for example Computers calculate mathematic stuff for us. Robots can help with chores and even making food for us.
    On the other hand technologies have alot of disadvantages, they can’t replace our loved ones, and our friends. Technologies take way too much time in our lives, they are really fragile and can be broken, easily.
    In conclusion, I would like to add that, technologies are going to be a big part of our lives, in about 10 years, or so. Really easy to use, and they help.

  10. In my opinion technology is very important in us life. In nowdays we can’t imagine life without technology.
    On the one hand technologies is important, because than i can’t chat with my friends or writhing essay to school or just doing homework. Technologies is for we can something new lear and see what new is in the world an d what’s happening. Almost everything what we use in the day is technologies, like telephone, car, computes, internet, music, airplanes, cinema and more everything.
    On the other hand technologies is bad in us life, because that impair sight. And how we now sight is very important in us life, and if we can’t see that is very bad, but actually we just need to wear glasses if we sit along time at the computer. More and more peoples go deep into detail in virtual world and that’s sad, because peoples don’t go out with friends and do something in real life.
    In conclusion, In would like to add that techologies will evolve more and more. And everytime will be good and bad side.

  11. In my opinion technologies are one of the most needest thing in life. For me it’s very important and everyday I use many tehnologies. But it’s not just in my life,but many other people live’s.
    On the one hand tehnologies are introduced in world so many new things and devices without which many things would not exsist. In world are muny more tehnolgies for which we are do not know anything. I think it’s amazing. And of course these tehnologies are so many advantages. For example it’s communication. If i want I can in 5 min speaking with my sister who lives in England. It’s really amazing but we are so accustomed to and we think it’s nothing special..But it is. And of course also tehnologies does not include just computer,iphones or something like that. It includes much more,much much much more. Airplanes,cars,internet,cinema,music and other things.
    On the other hand these tehnologies are many disadvantages. We all lost contact and relationship with friends,family and surrounding people. We live in virtual world. Not we all but a large part. Children before are something else like children now. And to the worse side. They not interesting other friends and games in outside but computer. It’s really bad and in my opinion in near future it remains worse.
    In conclusion, I would like to add that tehnologies will evolve more and more. And everytime it will worse side and good side. Although what would happen!

  12. I have many tehnologies in my life. They Make your life more intresting and atractive and more easy. But in the same thats makes your life like slave in computern you just wanna stay ther longer because you think ther is better ther all people loves you. But its not like that if you just tell them lies its not gona change anything and plus you gonna make really bad relationships with your family and your friends in real world. I think future can be good and bad to because if we all gonna live in the internet worl then we gonna forget how to live normal life without outside in the fresh air. This all maybe is in my opinion but think we all need to be outside more and stop sitting in the internet wolrd and tell lies to all people only that they would say poor you i wish i could be ther and help with your problems. Because life doesn’t work like that you need to do something for your own life. Thats why i don’t understand many people who thinks good gonna help i gonna go to church and gonna pray for my life and gonna pay to Pastor for the good bless me. Just crazy people . Tehnologies have good things and bad things like to all things and peoples. I just hope for the best to this earth.

  13. My life is different technologies, starting with the wrist and finally with phones, computers, and other.Today, technology plays a role.Technology has developed a very high level.With the phone I can call their relatives are outside my home country.Technology is harmful, they can result in worsening vision, dependence and different types of crayfish.Tomorrow I think technology will be everywhere, and they have developed a high level when it will be better for the future of human.

  14. In my life there is alot of tehnologies that wasnt in 20 century like mobilephones and led tv,s and very fast computers.
    I am very happy that we born in this time where is alot of coll and nice tehnologies .In my opinion new tehnologies are everywhere where you go and that is advantage of my life. In my life tehnologies are a big advantage like smartphones you can youse them like computers you can check weather go in internet it helps alot in school.But there is a problem with new tehnologies they are not very cheap and not everyone can afford them. In the one hand tehnologies help us in daily life like dish washer machine we dont need to wash dishes anymore with hands ,but on the other hand washing machine isnt very cheap and we will get more lazy and that goes with other new tehnologies too they help in uour life but they are very expensive and we can get more azy. In my opinion i think that over tehnologies will get alot better in the future and we wont need to do anything by ourselfes and our homeworks will do robots. Thats my opinion.

  15. In my opinion we live in a world that is filled with technologies and inventions that help us and make our day easier. These include computers, cars, television, telephone, and many other household items that we can’t imagine living without.

    On one hand tecnologies help us develop and advance our society in many ways and also change our lifestyle in many ways.
    New technologies are made every day and they slowly help us advance to a better life for everyone.

    On the other hand some technologies can make people miserable and ruin their lives when they might even not realize it.
    They also could make people lazy slobs.

    In conclusion, I would like to add that tecnologies would really help us make our society better and improve the lives of anyone using them and help other people afford them if they can’t.

  16. In my opinion we have a smartphone , computer, IPad and smart tv.

    In my opinion they are very required technologies, because they help an home work and you always can find some interesting things.For example you can find interesthing recipes, things in Ebay or you can find some text for you home work.

    Some times they are very annoying things they always can crash in thet time when you need more. Example when you doing home work and you always need to find place where is WIFI and sometimes there not in you place where you need.
    In my opinion in the future we have a clock and in clock has phone and we have some robot who can help in home, work , and school.
