Technology and Social Media
I use my phone all the time to listen to music, play games, text, go on Instagram, and more. I use Instagram, Pandora, Spotify, Netflix, and YouTube the most. I also use an iPad for school, including all my books and most of my homework. I love texting my friends and posting pictures on Instagram to make me feel more connected. When you get lots of likes on a picture, it makes you feel better about yourself. However, technology is addicting. Many little kids are getting iPhones when they're 6 years old. That's half the age I was when I got my first phone! Technology also disconnects you from people that you see in person all the time. If I had a nickel for the number of times my friends were on Snapchat or Twitter when we were supposed to be hanging out, I'd have $20 or more! Technology is useful for many things, but can also lead to addiction and disconnection from the people closest to you.
