When we hear people say technology is taking over, I really believe it sometimes. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I am thankful for and embrace all of the advantages that come along with this ever changing technological world. With all of the new advancements that continue to come out this technology is a tremendous benefit when it comes to interaction with other social groups. The fact that we can community via cider chat with people from halfway across the world is phenomenal. This allows us to interact with people we would probably never have the opportunity to interact with. Technology and media has so many pros to helping us to interact with others. Some of the benefits are as follows; we can essentially be in the same place as someone who is thousands of miles away, it allows us to communicate with those in which we may never had the opportunity otherwise, and it lets us stay connected with global issues. The fact that we can get news from what's happening in countries that's oceans away makes technology a huge advantage. In my opinion there really aren't many cons to technology. About the only thing I can think of is that it last face to face interaction with others. But I feel like having video and being able to see others will talking with them thousands of miles away make up for it. Below is a video to explain a little more the pros and cons of technology, its a little long but I think it illustrates it well.
