Answer:

Answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

How can technology be harmful? (100 words)

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Technology can be very harmful to us in many ways, even though there are some good technology devices out there. Let’s start with something simple, our cell phones. How can they be harmful to us? Well, they can be addicting to adults and children. Social media and texting get bigger each day with more people using these features. Over time, people seem to focus less on each other in person, and interact less in the real world. This causes a lot of harmful outcomes, such as anxiety, in younger adults. In younger people, social media is influencing them by what their peers are doing and saying. This can cause overthinking and impact their mental status. I hope this helps you! , if not please let me know what else you need in the comments below this answer.

Elodia [21]

The result of the young seaman's disrespectful attitude was that A. God punished the seaman for his cruelty by inflicting him with a sickness so serious that he did not recover.

William Bradford was one of the travelers on the Mayflower that was sailing to the future Plymouth colony. In his journals, he wrote of a young man who sailed with them.

The young man was quite problematic because:

he disrespected the sick
he cursed the sick and told them that he would help throw them overboard and take their property and,
he was quite vulgar

He was however struck with a sickness that according to William Bradford, came from God. The young man never made it to the colony and was instead thrown overboard.

In conclusion, because of the young man's disrespect, God punished him with an illness that killed him.
