Speech Finals 2019

Technology is taking over

WOW! It’s now 2019 and almost everybody you know has a phone, a laptop or an
iPad or even all of them.

Is technology really needed in schools? (PAUSE_ No you don’t need technology in
schools because we already have pens, pencils and books to use.

I think technology is taking over because we spend too much time watching our
phones, iPads and computers and it is not good.

• We are too reliant on technology
• Becoming lazy because we are better typers, than writers on a piece of paper 
• It has a devastating toll on our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing because
• we are becoming anti-social. People would rather socialise on the internet than
• spend time with others in the real world 
• People are not the priority anymore (parents, families, friends are spending too
• much time on their phone rather than with us)
• Technology is making your eyes even more worse
• People need to be aware of this because technology is taking over

The New Zealand Herald  says: Children as young as two are developing mental
health problems because of smartphones and tablets (PAUSE). Just an hour a day
staring at a screen can be enough to make children more likely to be anxious or
depressed.

Is technology needed in schools?

No!! We should have 2 hours of free time away from our devices and
spend that time talking, laughing and playing with our families and friends than
being online

Technology is taking over our lives and it is happening at a rapid pace! If you watch your
phone, Ipad or your computer for 24 hours a day not only will your eyes be very bad
but you will become depressed and anxious.
