I know we’ve all seen a classmate get in trouble for texting in class and they have refused to give their phone up, or maybe it’s even happened to you. We can easily see how technology has changed teenager’s lives in so many different ways.


Technology has changed everyone’s lives period, but teenagers are so dependent on the newest cell phones and computers it’s starting to get ridiculous.

Honestly, I’m also dependent my own phone and I have an iPhone. These days all I hear about is everyone that doesn’t have an iPhone wants an iPhone.

Computers are another piece of technology that is slowing destroying our brains slowly without even noticing. It went from laptops, to smaller laptops, to tablets then to the iPad minis, what’s next because it never ends with technology.

Our brains are the most sensitive organ in a human body. Technology affects our way of communicating with other people, and that is an important part of our brain was socializing with other people.

Then technology comes in, and there are teenagers that cannot put down their phone down in the middle of a text message even if their best friend was dying.

“I think technology has changed so much ever since we were in like first grade when teachers actually had a grade book, and there was no such thing as PowerSchool” said senior Phoenix Hood.

Teenagers cannot, and will not stop texting or tweeting. Texting will probably not go out of style until year 3000. Don’t even get me started with teens tweeting constantly, and every single minute. Sometimes I don’t even understand how you come up with these.

“I tweet all the time. I honestly couldn’t live without my cell phone for 24 hours,” senior Trip Fralick.

We have the proof and the facts of how technology how’s changed teenager’s lives and minds in so many ways, but we still continue to be addicted to whatever new cell phone or laptop is coming out in the year 2013.

You can pick out some good things out technology and some bad things out of it.
