Should teens be limited to the amount of technology that’s exposed? We’ve all been or are going to be a teenager. There is no way to avoid it. Leisure has changed over time. The definition of leisure to any adult would be playing with friends in the street, doing some homework or maybe even working at a job. Today, it consists of texting on iPhones, watching T.V or using social media. Teens nowadays have Call of Duty, Jersey Shore, iPad and F acebook. It seems today that any teenager would agree that they can’t live without one thing: technology. Is technology straining one's ability to learn? Are our priorities straight? Teenagers spend a huge amount of time and money on such devices. They can be put into stages. The first stage would be the T.V. The second stage would be Game Consoles. The next stage would be the internet/computer. The most serious stage would be a cell phone. The average time of usage on the T.V is 2.8 hours a day which is almost 20 hours a week. 9 hours of the 20 hours are spent on either a P S3 or an X box. They spend at least 31 hours on the computer/internet a week, and 9 of those hours are spent on F acebook, T witter, T umblr etc. The average amount of texts sent in one month is 3,146 messages per individual. Due to these statistics, there are many arguments both teens and adults are making. There are several things that are bad when it comes to teens using technology but there are also good things in terms of teens using technology. Teens would say that using technology is very beneficial to them from school to keeping in contact with friends. They’d even say that it’s just a fun thing to do when you’re not doing anything else. It’s a faster way to learn for them. Using technology increases their knowledge. Positive aspects of technology for the youth also include being able to speak more freely (finding one’s voice/community) online, communication/engagement with others, and creative exploration. Youth are also open to the use of technology for the assessment and interventions in healthcare, such as web-based technologies which support youth with depre*sive symptoms and text messaging services as an intervention for adolescent obesity or su*cidal thinking. It is also very common that teens also use their phones in an emergency sense. A quick way to contact their parents or even 911. In conclusion, I believe that technology is important to not only teenagers, but to everybody. Most jobs revolve around technology, as well as schooling! To be frank, this is the 20th century also known as “the age of technology.” Let's embrace the age of technology!
Copper is a very important natural resource to India. Copper is important because it has many uses. Copper and its alloys are used in a variety of industries. The company that mostly uses it is the electricity sector because of it being a good conductor of electricity which is good for India’s economy. Copper is a renewable resource and can be recycled over and over without a loss in performance. The long term impact of being able to recycle copper easily is that the reliance on India to provide the natural resource may not last forever since other countries can just recycle the copper they already have.
