Is Technology Helpful of Harmful

I can see both sides of the argument, but I mostly think technology is helpful. Although there are definitely times when technology can be harmful. There is a long-lasting argument about whether or not modern TV shows cause children to act violently. This website talks about studies that have been done on this topic. Even though there are some consequences because of technology, it is mostly helpful. There are many benefits we have today that we would not have without technology, like this blog. Relating to the violent TV shows, many people argue that TV is making people dumber, but in our book, a person named Steven Johnson argues that TV shows are actually more challenging than they previously were. For example, shows like Taken require complicated thinking, while older shows like Lassie repeat the same plot line with every episode.
