For instance, Dokoupil primarily addresses the negative effects of technology on humanity while Johnson argues that the positive effects of technology on humanity outweigh the negatives. While both articles were effective, they pose some weaknesses. For example, Dokoupil limits his report by primarily discussing the negative effects of technology, making his report one-sided.

Technology is becoming so advanced that is can literally do anything we can do. It can do the simple, everyday jobs that we do and even do them better than we can. Ray Bradbury writes incredible short stories that view and exploit the flaws in technology in the upcoming future.

One day the mother became worried and the father threatened to shut the whole house down. When the children play in the nursery for the last time, they trap their parents inside and kill them with the room. In his
From writing to encoding, reading to surfing, and solving to browsing. We have landed to the new era. Technology already changed the way we live and changed the way we do a certain task. Technology can be a piece of metal, a plastic, or any solid material which can accomplish a certain task with just an ease.

Williams explores the consequences of children being exposed to technology from a young age. She explains that children learn from the environment around them and often build more knowledge from pre-existing ideas.
