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

Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society, but only when used in the right ways. Things such as medical technology and communication are examples of technology being used in the right way. The advancement of medical technology has helped saved many lives. Chemotherapy can help cure cancer by reducing the amount of cancerous cells, more and more premature babies are surviving, surgery is now more precise and without medicine, many people would die from diseases we think are minor. In the case of communication, we are now able to interact with people all over the world, all from the comfort of our homes. Due to this, we are more connected to the world. People also have more access to knowledge. Have a question? Google it. It's almost a sure thing that what you want to know is there. Also, use of online resources for educational purposes helps make learning easier.

Side: Yes

Technology has helped improve the society in various ways. There are many types of technologies existing in today's world. One such technology that affects the society's well being directly is Forensic Technology. Forensic technology has been advancing at accelerating rate in the past few decades.Before the invention of many advanced Crime Scene Investigation Equipment, solving a crime such as murder or theft and finding the culprit was near impossible. This was not because no clues were left at the crime scene, but rather because investigators had no way to analyse evidence thoroughly. Even evidence such as blood samples or hair left at the crime scene had a limit as to how far it could take the investigators through the case. However, now, with all the technological advancements the world has seen in this field, investigators are able to nab criminals in a much shorter amount of time. Sure, there are still cases that take long to solve, but if that same crime scene had surfaced a decade or two ago, investigators would have been left completely clueless. In fact, Forensic Investigators now are even able to solve cases that took place years ago with the help of new equipment, that are able to accurately analyse even year old samples of evidence. One such case investigators have solved is the BTK Killler case. BTK was the name a serial killer, Dennis Rader, gave himself when he started his killing spree. BTK stood for Bind, Torture, Kill, three words that accurately describe his method of excecuting the murder. He is from Wichita, Kansas, the place most, if not all, of his murders took place between 1974 and 1991. He had a true criminal mind and left no evidence for the investigators. No evidence, except a letter with 'BTK' written at the bottom. No matter how hard investigators tried, they did not go far with the few evidences they got, including semen samples from rape BTK's rape victims and skin under victims' fingernails. As BTK's murders slowly died down, investigation came to a dead end and by 2004, the case had gone cold. However, forensic investigators never gave up and with the help of advanved forensic equipment, managed to solve the case and bring the culprit into the light. They had tested many of the evidences including the fingernail scrapings along with various other DNA tests to confirm the killer. BTK then pled guilty on June 27, 2005. Until the culprit was found, the society was threatened. The tchnological advancements were what helped to solve this case.Hence, by lowering crime rates, Forensic Tachnology has been a boon to society.

Technology is more of a boon than a bane to the society. In this modern 21st Century, everybody is making use of technology to do work. Nevertheless for business, socialisation or for school assignments. Without technlogy, nearly everything wiill not be able to function properly or people will not be able to do work efficiently or to their convenience. Technology is seen everywhere, television, radio, phones, computers. We make use of televisions, radios etc for broadcasts and advertisements. In times for emergencies, announcements are made over televisons and radios. Imagine technology didnt exist at that point of time, emergency evacuations or situations, people will not be informed as quickly as manpower and time will be needed and used to get the messages across. By the time the people get to know about it, it might be already too late. Evidence is that, In the recent news, On March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami devastated in the Fukushima nuclear plant north of Tokyo, triggering explosions and meltdowns and causing about 160,000 people to flee the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986. The Japanese authorities failed to disclopse the U.S data about the spread of radiation.If technology didnt fail at that point of time, more people might have kjnown about the radiation and have saved their own lives. Thus, technology is more of a boon than a bane.

I agree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Technology has many advantages and therefore helps us in many ways. One example is the Internet. Nowadays, people rely on the Internet a lot because it is very useful to us. The Internet provides some of the most effective means of communication. Emails and MSN have made online communication possible. Social networking and blogging websites help people to voice out their point of view and release stress.People in different parts of the world can communicate through the Internet. They can exchange views, share information and work together over the Internet. It was the development of the Internet that made online education and distance learning possible. Therefore i agree that technology is more of a boon than a bane to society..

No i dont think so... People will rely more on the internet! they will be too lazy to think a.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

No i don't agree. People may rely more on the internet but by using the internet, they would learn new things as well. Nowadays, computer professionals have high pays as the number of internet users are very high. People relying more on the internet may be an advantage too. :)
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

Technology offers many advantages than disadvantages. It has made our life easy, comfortable, simple and luxurious. Technology is supporting human so much that now a person can work from his home. It has helped a lot in uniting people. In fact with the help of internet the world has just turned in to a global village. Technology doesn’t make man. Man makes technology. Hence, it depends on the use we employ it. Nuclear energy is indeed destructive. However if we use it constructively its great boon. Rocket Science has many peaceful uses for space exploration & kind. But if harnessed for war purposes it’s bound to be destructive. Similarly Tv & Internet has its own plus & minus side. If human mind tilts towards destructive uses then we can’t take technology itself at fault. But I feel that this technology is more boon than bane.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: No

It will be both.most things in life are not all good or all bad. Like most other things, technology in the future will be both, depending on application, person suing/programming, benefits, etc.consider atomic power, for instance.as nuclear power for electricity, it is definitely good. as an atomic weapon, it can be used to cause terrible destruction.For every weapon of death and destruction we've invented, we've come up with a thousand ways to boost food production, increase access to personal fulfillment, save lives, and simply to amuse ourselves. On the whole, technology has been a boon for almost as long as we've existed.Let me ask you this: can you imagine going back to a mode of existence before technology? Before we even had clothes, or spears? Before fire and language? All of these things were inventions, and if you can't imagine even living without what we have now (much less comfortably), then you'll have to agree that technology is too valuable to ever give up.That said, it has it's downsides. Recently, technological progress has led to a deterioration of our resources. The ability of technology to adapt to hostile conditions is being strained in the face of the effect we're having on the environment. It's entirely possible that some technological breakthrough will allow us to survive without relying on our earth exclusively, but it's a race of the boon vs. the bane, and the finish line is getting awfully close.

Side: Yes

Technology nowadays also helps to reduce global warming and other ecological problems as now we know more aboutwhat helps and what doesn't. Computers can generate data and we can also learn more about it and thus we can help to reduce such problems. Technology also helps people to learn more about their surroundings. For example, if you don't know what is the definition of something or want to know the answer to a question, you can easily Google it and get many possible answers in less than a minute, compared to slowly combing through the library just to get the book and slowly do research on it.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

Yes I agree.There are many types of technology in the world that we uses everyday. Like the computer, phones, airplanes, washing machines etc. Without them, lives would be much more difficult. Imagine, without washing machines, how much more time will be wasted to wash it with hands? Almost everyone has a hand phone now to contact people in Singapore and even around the world. Without technology, there will be no social networking sites. Research has shown that social networking allow us to expand our circle, communicate with one another, advertise and even find a job. Despite the fact that computers and handphones which are used to connect to social networking sites spoil a person's eyes and have radiation, it did help people a lot in a way or another. 76% of the people using technology for entertainment. Without technology life would be so boring and less fun.Everyone would want to work lesser by using technology. In conclusion, without technology we would need to work much more harder and have lesser entertainment in lives.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

Technology is more of a boon than a bane to the society. Technology was created to help us in a way. It is one of the greatest inventions of mankind. It is a tool invented and sharpened by humans to make their life easier and people cant leave without it.For example, there are social networking sites like facebook. Statistics shows that there are now 845 million active users on facebook.This shows that technology is more of an advantage as there are many people using it to socialise.Therefore, technogy is more a boon than a bane to the society
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

I believe that technology is more of a boon than a bane in society. This is because technology has helped us in a lot of things that we might not be able to do on our own. In medical technology, therapies such as chemotherapy helps to remove the cancer cell in a cancer stricken person allowing them a chance of survival. All this would have been impossible in the past as this type of technology has not been invented then.There are also other technology provides us with convinience such as the smartphone. With the smartphone, we are able to have access to the internet anywhere we go and we are also able to check our email when necessary. In the past we would have to wait until we reached home before we are able to check our emails.Technology is also in the food industry where the people are able to ensure that the food we eat contains no harmful chemicals, hence preventing us from harmful diseases. Without this technology, the food that we eat might contain harmful chemicals that could harm us.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

First of all, I feel that technology is more of a boon than bane. It has brought to us many convenience and has made our life easier, more comfortable, simple and luxurious. Not only computers and social networking sites, but also other inventions. For example: air-conditions, refridgerators, television and more. In addition, we can also use technology everywhere, like handphones. We can bring it anywhere we want to and it has also been a very convenient tool for us to have easier communication with our friends and families. Unlike in the past when there are still no technology or advanced technology, people have to write letters to people who are far away from them like overseas, and it would also take a very long time for the letters to arrive at the destination. But with technology now, we can simply chat with someone overseas or someone in the same country on the internet. Moreover, we can save the trouble in finding the person we want to talk to and just call them or send them a message.

However, a global study found 61% of the surveyed kept their phones in their bedroom and they were 60% more likely to wake up and check at night. Therefore, many smartphone addicts may show symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, which is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings or behaviors.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

Technology has helped us in many ways. An example of how technology has helped us is the invention of light bulbs, which is created by Thomas Edison. The invention of light bulbs brought light into our livesby allowing us to have light wherever we want, whenever we need. People now can stay up at night to work on their things anywhere they want with ease without worrying that they do not have light to help them see. This also allow us to work efficiently as the light can be used as an extended 'day' and we have more time to do more work.
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: No

However, without the invention of light bulbs by Thomas Edison, people could still 'survive' the night with the help of candle lights. Candles can be lighted easily and in the past, the nights are cold and windy, heat from the candles can be used to keep a person warm and has many uses. I do not agree that ''People now can stay up at night to work on their things anywhere they want with ease without worrying that they do not have light to help them see." What if the bulb fuses suddenly? People would still panic. People would have no choice but to leave their work undone or to the extend of having to light a candle just so they can finish their work. Did you know that "Fluorescent bulbs of any kind contains mercury. Mercury builds up in the environment, especially in lakes and rivers. It is a nerve poison that can do bad things to fish and to the creatures that eat them, from loons to people mainly central nervous system damage." Although this only shows that some light bulbs are harmful, it does not mean that the others are not. With the improvement of technology, people or even animals can still get hurt from technology and hence, i can conclude that technology is more of a bane than a boon.

I feel that technology is more of a boon than a bane. There are many types of technology in the world. For example, there are television, cars, bicycles, the internet and many more. In the 21st century, you rarely see workers writing a proposal by hand anymore. We have printers and computers. All we have to do it to type it down, then print it. Colleagues can even discuss their thoughts on the issue via email. Television is also another type of technology. You do not have to buy the newspaper anymore. All you have to do is to turn on the telly to the news channel. Technology has also helped the astronauts. People have travelled to the moon and many different planets with the help of more advanced technology and Science. Another type of technology that is a boon is the CERN which provides particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research for example, the Higgs Boson, also know known as the God particle. The theory is that after the Big Bang, no particle had mass. However, any particle that interacted with the Higgs Boson was given a mass. Now, a group of scientist at CERN are dedicated to re-discovering the Higgs Boson.Many may argue that technology is a bane as teenagers will spend all their time on the internet gaming or they will spend all their time on their handphone playing games. However, teenagers should learn to control the use of their time. Everyone has 24 hours, everyone has the responsibility and choice of how they spend their time. Technology has nothing to do with the irresponsibility of others.

although technology could be a bane to some extent, but one must not ignore the significance of technology in the medical field... for instance,, just because of technology , one can get to know what has happened to his bone using x ray .... what i have written is a basic example , though you can imagine yourself what technology , in actual, has contributed in various fields...
Debate: Technology is more of a boon than a bane to society. Do you agree?
Side: Yes

The creation and development of technology is man's natural instincts to evolve put into action. Why do we develop technology if we don't naturally believe that it assists us in evolving? Because it's not just a belief, it is a natural programing that says 'do this because it's good'.It's overall effects are notwithstanding and irrelevant. We are better then we were the day before. Civilization has risen and fallen several times, but technology has always remained the developing constant, slowly and surely decreasing our chances of dying, one new piece of knowledge at a time.

Smart phonesTechnology is more of a boon than a bane. The invention of smart phones have brought convenience into our lives.There are many uses for our smartphones. We can use it as our alarm for people who need to rely on something to wake up, send out information via messages to inform others about some urgent information, and conveniently, we can connect to the internet. The internet is free and fast which allow us to easily get any information we need. By connecting onto the internet, we can gather worldwide information about what is the hottest news at another country and what new discoveries are found without needing to spend the time to go down to the market to buy a newspaper to find out. We can also simply find most of our answers to our questions online without needing to trouble ourselves to travel all the way to the library to find out. Furthermore, the smart phones are portable and we can use them anywhere we want, whenever we need it. According to recent surveys, 83% of the US people who uses smartphones find them useful and convenient. This shows that smart phones, being a part of technology, is more of a boon than a bane.

I agree that technology is more of a boon than bane.Technology has both its pros and cons.Those who use it correctly will be able to make their lives easier for themselves and to the benefits of others.For example a worried mum with his son overseas can simply see each other just by video calling each other.There's no need to mail letters which require a long period of time to be delivered.However if u use social networking site like facebook/twitter you can send it in the nick of time and chat with each other in real time.

Many people tend to blame the technology, which has made people to look like annoying. Aren’t you feeling like this? Technology has its pros and cons, where we are choosers to make our choice to make technology a boon.Modern life has been made easier with technology, but for every development, there is an equivalent increase in complication that seems to compensate those benefits. When contemporary day problems occur, we usually don’t have the time or power to figure out how to solve them and what to do with them. Here I am going to give you a guide, which can help you certain extent to solve modern problems that have aroused by technology.When it comes to computer, the internet is the phenomenal invention of all time, where we can find anything and everything on the go. And also, there is a potential of frustration on it to find suitable things in at a given period of time

we cannot live without electricity nor can we survive the whole day without knowing whether which is the latest Gadget in use which would benefit the driver of an automobile to drive safely and at the same time work on his immediate assignment at hand. Basically, we need TECHNOLOGY and we are a big part of it already. We live, strive and thrive on computers, data base online, communication network, and the latest gadgetsTechnology today has given us both Nuclear weapon and Medicines that could cure the unthinkable of pain and diseases. It has given us a better opportunity to preach and teach knowledge to those less privileged, those who cannot hear or see or speak and understand their language and be one and at the same time it has made it possible to grow in millions and preach out freedom to one.Technology creates options. Options lead to confusion. A man getting into a crowded bus will sit on any available seat. The same man in an empty bus will wonder whether he should sit in the front or back, window or aisle….Err why I am even talking about all this. Without technology there wouldn’t be buses!!! Options besides creating confusion also create conflict. Technology creates wants, wants and more wants. The moment you satisfy few of them, many more raise their hydra head.In conclusion, we think that Technology is a must. It’s a Boon and it will stay so forever. Without it we could not have had this debate. We would not realize that it is possible to go beyond the age of 90 and still be fit and healthy. Technology has given that to us today
