How do I define technology?

Any electronic device that can be used for entertainment

or work, can have both a positive and negative effect on

an individual and/or society based on its usage.

Within a 24-hour period, I found that Ichecked my cellphone at least 5 timeswithin 5 hours. I typically check mycellphone every morning as soon as Iwake up for emails & social media. Ithen use it to track traffic beforeheading to school. I then find myselfusing it to update social media, as it ispart of my job at the Spartan Bookstore.I tend to use it about 3 hours within a24-hour period.

My laptop is the electronic device that is mostimportant to me as I find myself using it themost. I spent about 6-7 hours on my laptopwithin a 24-hour period. I check my emails oftento keep contact with my clients. Most of mycourses require a laptop to use Photoshop,Illustrator etc.. I can also send text messagesfrom my computer so it is essential that I havemy laptop with me at all times.
