Technology is something that has been improving for years. We started off small and then eventually it became something that we use in our every day life. It is what has taken over so many of our every day items. I feel as though technology has made us humans so much more lazy. There are are refrigerators that have a screen outside of it that lets you look inside without actually opening the door. There’s Alexa’s & Google Home’s that turn on your lights and fans without you having to actually get up and pull the switch. As well as making us lazy, I think technology has also made us become more desensitized to serious topics. At least for Gen Z, we grew up in a world where we’re constantly listening to the news and hearing every bad thing that’s going on soon after it happens. We’ve become so used to seeing articles about Covid-19 or school shootings that we don’t even bat an eye anymore. Another example I like to use is 9\/11. Again for Gen Z, we grew up learning about it at school and having to watch videos or see pictures from that day. At this point we don’t feel anything when we see the tragic media surrounding that day. We see it as something that is completely normal. https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40cpuebla1.cp%2Fsocial-media-is-desensitizing-b50217ee39e4&psig=AOvVaw2ERJ117EBMDM9gUmZ1TmJ8&ust=1632950079948000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCMCNxKDLovMCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
