Humans in today's world are progressing in terms of new technology. Technology is a body of human knowledge that can be passed along from one place to another and from one generation to the next. It's the creation of tools or objects that extend both our natural abilities, and later our social environment. Technology is all around us and is changing the way our world works every day. Technology in many ways has made our lives easier. It is now faster and easier to write an email than to write a letter.(Gorard) Technology has also simplified the struggles we used to have when trying to stay in contact with one another. Technology can also have a negative effect on families, individuals and societies. With some of the higher technologies such as computers, televisions and cloning babies we are unfortunately having more of the negative influence than the positive influence. Some of technologies cause social problems. For most people reality is all what they see in televisions, which is not a good sign for us.

Media has a big influence on our society and Media violence harms the society. Numerous studies have shown that violence in movies and on television increases violence in society. Children watch an average of four hours of TV per day, and the inner cities those increases to as many as eleven hours of TV shows.(Google) Too much TV can have a bad effect on a child especially when every six years old child has his/her own TV in its bedrooms. Some parents and children no longer face each other across the table or on a floor mate, discussing their family issues but instead they gathered around facing TV set. Television violence must be reduced to protect the nation's children. It is the young people especially those who have not yet reached adolescence is most affected by televisions. Children by the age of eighteen will have see 40,000 killings and 200,000 acts of violence. This would lead children to behave violence later in life.
