FB has billion users and you have found 2 suicides, Foxcon has 300 000 employees but thousand suicides, should we banned manual labor because it makes people sad? :D
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: NO

I disagree. This is because with the advance in technology, there are more and more cases of cyberbully. In extreme situations, teenagers become suicidal because they go through enomous emotional stress. In USA, there was such a case as this. She quarrelled with a classmate and the classmate's mother impersonated as an admirer who communicated with the victim and eventually drove her to suicide when she hurt her emotionally using harsh words. Therefore, I think that technology may not necessarily be a boon to society.

Side: YES

True, there may be an increase in cyberbullying. However, cyberbullying can be avoided such as changing the private or profile settings in social networking(where all the cyberbullying usually happen). Cyberbullying can also be taken down by informing the school or the police in extreme situation.(submitted by Safwan 2N1)
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: YES

True, and technology is not the main cause to cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can be prevented, like Safwan says we can private our profile settings. Other ways such as parents educating their kids about the consequences of cyberbullying will help. To stop it once it starts, it's easy, because their motives differ and the responses to each type of cyberbullying incident has to differ too.
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: NO

I disagree. If we dont have technology, we could not have fun and also we might not even heppen if there is no punishment, there will not be any cyberbullying.

Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: NO

Wrong S9638693A.Humans can still live without technology. For example, you say that you will be unable to contact with one another in other countries without technology. But humans have develop many things in the past to contact each other without technology. For example in the past, humans used ships to past on their message to their relatives. In the 18th to 19th century, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Which revolutionize the communication media. Therefore, people can still communicate with low tech technology. Though you say 'without technology'. I think that is impossible. Even the invention of primitive wheels in Mesopotamia in the 4th millenium century is considered a technology. If you know what I mean.(safwan, 2N1)

Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: YES

I disagree. There is a larger population of people who use the technology to do meaningful things like creating a web for donating funds, for people to share informations on certain subjects they are insterested about. Example like the Yahoo Answers, people comment about the things they think, letting the person who's asking the question have more thinking point. Therefore, I think that technology is a boon to society. Written by Yelyn Chua
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)

This is not true. Nowadays, people love to comment about positive or negitive and people who seen their comment would try to argue what's right or wrong.Also, they have less mistakes to make that kind of mistakes by deleted away.
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: NO

I disagree. Now technology is better, It depends on the people who uses technology if they want to use it for negative ways than positive stuffs. Therefore we cannot say that people use technology for negative things because it depends on other people's attitude.

Technology can also be use usefully and it can help our live to be more easier.It also how you want to use the technology for harm or good.For example a student use the social networking to use to allow people to know about his product.(Jack)
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: YES

Parents or adults are have to place an important role in these cases. Parents tend to overreact. Most children will avoid telling their parents about a cyberbullying incident fearing they will only make things worse.Parents need to be supportive of their child during this time. Parents need to be the one trusted place their children can go when things go wrong online and offline.Parents need to know about what their child is feeling about being a victim. Parents need to guide them and to tell them that suicide and hurting themselves are doing them no good at all.

Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: NO

I disagree that Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society . Techonology can cause harm to users if users do not take precautions . Users often misuse the advantage such as cyber bullying and pornography . Users often neglect the importance while surfing the internet. Today's techonology has been taken to greater heights and users can disguise as someone they are not. For example , young girls are often prey on by older men and these young girls are always taken advantage of. Therefore i disagree that Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society

I disagree. Misusues of technology create diseases,like lazinesss,obesity,etc.There is no privacy , and now people are now worried that thier private information is made known to public.
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: YES

I strongly disagree on what you have say. It is the teenagers decision on what they should do. Laziness and obesity is something that can be prevent if they go out more and hang out with thier friends. Some Social netsites allow us to change our privacy setting and thus now a days people do not have to worry that thier private information will be made to public.

laziness is not a diease!!!! obesity is also not a diease
Debate: technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree? (Clenn)
Side: YES

i disagree to your perspective about the part when you are talking about diseases. firstly, lazyness is not a disease. it all depends on the user of technology. they need to manage their time and use it on their own daily basis whenever they have free time. since technology is now modernize, the users are now becoming smarter and smarter. they will know how to prevent themselves from being cyberbullied and they will also know how to protect their own information.

As technology is very important to our lives, and if we dont have technology we cannot servive.If we do not have technology, we could have been extict.Example if we do not have technology, we do not have weapons, we might not have shelther, food or might have been killed.

no i disagree . Technology can be more of a bane than a boon because it can destroy our lives by getting acddicted to it . Technology such as handphones and computers are no longer only used to help us to do our work , it is used to communicate with each other . It is good if used in moderation but society nowadays has taken it to a higher level . Teenagers nowadays spend 3/4 of the day using their phones or computers . Either playing computer games , texting or using their social media such as twitter and facebook . Therefore technology is more a bane than a boon to society .

Whenever the students are at home, they may use technology moderately. Even if they overuse technology, parents have the rightys to control them by either confisticating their phones or controlling the time they use on the computer, therefore, i do not agree with your point . :)

I disagree that technology is more a boon than a bane to society because people use techonology like computer to play game and not for studying. Games include "counter-strike,black-shot,audition and many more." As a result of playing to much games their result suffers. For example, I am one of them which once played to much games and fail almost all my subjects.Therefore I disagree that technology is more a boon than a bane. :D subscribe plz:D(Logan Lau)

i disagree with you because people can create their own timetable and follow it like having 1 hour to play and study for 1 to 2 hours. In that case it will be easy for them to pass their exam and might even score As for exam. People always say that threr are times to play hard and times to study hard. For example, my friend and i tried to do somthing which i were to create a timetable, one with 1 hour for playing time and 2 hour of studing time, the other was did the oppsite way. In the end the one with 1 hour of playing was a sucess.

I disagree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Technology, like the internet can cause harm to the user who is using it, for example, cyber bullying. Users can also get pranked with online advertisements causing them to waste their money on the fake advertisement.If users are not careful enough, they might be talking to strangers online and give out personal information such as facebook, twitter and etc. Therefore i disagree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society.

I feel that because of technology people spend a lot of time on surfing sites rather than spending time with people and even you dont know that the person you are talking to is actually what is claims to be moreover there is a lot problems in studies of the students as they are mostly seen chatting with their friends on net as it is said 'everyone likes to use facebook, but no one likes to face the book.'

I disagree that technology is more a boon than a bane to society. Users nowadays especially teenagers often misuse technology thus take advantage of technology that make them phsically and mentally addicted. For example, instead of using the internet to do projects or online assignments, they surf the net to play games, chat on Facebook, blog etc for their personal needs. Therefore, I think that technology may not be a boon to society.

Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

Yes, I do agree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society.Technology has evolved over the years and revolutionized our lives.There are many types of technology like information technology, biotechnology and medical technology. One of the most influential technologies is medical technology.Medical technology is the application of science and technology to improve the management of health conditions.It has contributed greatly to the society as it can save lives and increase chances for patients to survive their ordeal. Technology in the medical field has allowed individuals with chronic illness to have productive and healthier lives. These individuals can now lead independent lives without any need for physical, emotional and financial support. Advanced medical aids also enables patients to continue recovery at home reducing their hospital stay and at the same time saving money on hospital bills.An example of medical technology that has benefited lives is the treatment for of cardiovascular disease, the use of coronary stents - artificial tubes used in cases of coronary heart disease to keep the arteries open – have halved the number of those dying from heart attacks or suffering from heart failure. Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) – a small device implanted for those at risk of sudden cardiac death – now have a 98% chance of surviving a cardiac arrest, compared to only 5% without the implantable device. In addition, the minimally-invasive surgical techniques which are now used to treat aneurysms can mean a recovery time of around four weeks, compared to over a year for older procedures.Hence, all in all, medical technology plays a vital role in allowing people to remain valuable and contributing members of the society. Thus i shall end off by reiterating my stand that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society.Source of evidence: http://www.eucomed.org/medical-technology/value-benefits
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: No

You only mentioned the right side of the "technology" coin: what about all what you ignored? I do not think this theme to be too complicated to be discussed on a web-site, but surely if you had to mantain an idea about technology you should have, at least, taken into account all the aspects; only secondly, you would analyse the one you prefer, in order to be the more objective possible. This is a criticism i could elaborate to anyone on this debate, and more generally, on this site. It lacks in reasoning, in fact most people answer questions without having fully understood the answer, emphasysing the favourite aspect of technology, ingoring the others. What about the technology used by armies, and nations? And, not to be so drastic, do you really think internet and whatever medical technology are totally "good"? It all improves humanity? Why? Simply because it helps us to live longer? Baudelaire, unfortunately famous exclusively for his poems, once said why should we all live longer? Why telephones, telegraphs? This question has even more sense if you wonder about the conditions in which we all live today: we ignore ourselves, often we kill, we exploit eachother. But we are all proud to have discovered the cure to a specific disease: oh that's right the point. We all needed it.

Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

I agree that technology is more of boon than a bane as it offers many different advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how a person uses the technology that is being given to the user and how the user puts the technology to proper use. Example of technology includes social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. People can also advertise for their business on such sites as many people uses them and it will attract attention from the users from that sites. People also can connect with their friends locally or globally on such social networking sites as they are easily accessible via smartphones or computers that are widely used. By using this site users can add friends that they know and they can also share about things that are happening or updating their statuses. Thus the friend that they add will be able to read and get the latest information on what their friends are doing. With this, i conclude that technology is more of a boon than a bane if it is placed on proper uses.

Good examples have been given, Soon Ann! :) However, you need to make your topic sentence clearer. Instead of saying 'an example of technology,' you first need to say that technology comes in many forms and social media is one. From there, you can zoom in to the advantages of social networking sites.

"It depends on how a person uses the technology that is being given to the user and how the user puts the technology to proper use."Yes, and a lot of the time technology is not used responsibly. Technology has allowed for there to be a platform for cyber bullying, it has been a way for people to conspire against authorities (the London Riots were organised through social networking sites such as Facebook), and it has been a way for people to cheat others out of money from online gambling, hacking, etc. "share about things that are happening or updating their statuses"This may be the aim for social networking sites, but if I click on 'news feed' I am greeted by pages of spam: people sharing 'liking' links, adding pictures of themselves and then saying "ooh, I look horrible" (it's just ridiculous; I wonder what goes on in their minds). I find that technology, when it comes to social networking, is the most annoying thing in the world besides my sister. Facebook and other social networking sites are often subject to bad language, and cyber bullying, something that nobody is really a fan of. "Site users can add friends"I don't think that friends who are made online, or whose relationship is sustained online, are real friends. How can they be if your relationship is on a screen? What quality time is built into a relationship with "love ya 4evr! BFFs!"? "With this, i conclude that technology is more of a boon than a bane if it is placed on proper uses"And it isn't always, as I have mentioned in previous examples.

"I find that technology, when it comes to social networking, is the most annoying thing in the world besides my sister. Facebook and other social networking sites are often subject to bad language, and cyber bullying, something that nobody is really a fan of."As i have said, it is about how the user is going to use the technology. If you thing that such social networking sites are the most annoying thing in the world, why not you just not use them? People can use them for many different reasons for example, business advertising, sharing photos, statuses. So it is still up to how you are going to use it. how is your sister linked to this? Do you think that everyone debating here knows her? Then how are we going to know that she is annoying?"Facebook and other social networking sites are often subject to bad language, and cyber bullying, something that nobody is really a fan of."This is one bad example of how a person can make use of a social networking site by using it to cyber bully others. It is up to ones choice how he/she wants to use it. "I don't think that friends who are made online, or whose relationship is sustained online, are real friends. How can they be if your relationship is on a screen? What quality time is built into a relationship with "love ya 4evr! BFFs!"?"That is your point of view. People like me, use Facebook and Twitter to connect with other friends that have graduated from my previous schools and we still have a strong bond between us although everything is just on a computer screen. Quality time can be also used to built a friendship with what you have said, "love ya 4evr! BFFs!" such statements can make me feel heartwarming as my friends are caring for me, even with such simple statements. "And it isn't always, as I have mentioned in previous examples."It is up to oneself. How a person use it.
