PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, EyeToy, and supercomputers. These are examples of some of the advanced technologies available today. They may be expensive, but they are worth it; they are products of scientific progress. These kind of technology may most be beneficial, but be wary as having some of these advanced technologies can also cause various effects that eventually lead to a person becoming ignorant of his or her surrounding.
An advanced technology is essential to having or enhancing computer graphics, because of this fact, it has been proven that advanced technology cause teenagers to become more addicted to video games. Teenagers can easily be hooked to video games with enhanced graphics; a boy may get more addicted to his favorite video game once it is released on a better console, causing him to become too addicted with it that can lead to him being "stuck" in the virtual world.
Most addicted players nowadays prefer the virtual world over the real world; players therefore tend to run away from reality by playing video games. Take for example a person who is too addicted to virtual girls, he may find it more interesting to play a dating game with all his "perfect" virtual girls than to date a real girl. In conclusion, preferring the virtual world over the reality is the cause of a person having less social life.
As stated earlier, being "stuck" on a virtual world causes a person to become less sociable; these kind of people usually have the tendency to be left alone by his or her own friends. A person may have insufficient time for his or her real friends because of spending too much time playing with his or her "other" friends. This fact is the reason why it is also proven that having less social life eventually causes a person to become ignorant of his or her own surrounding.
Once a person becomes ignorant of the things surrounding him or her, he or she will eventually not know how to interact with others properly. An example of this can be compared to an ignorant boy not knowing how to properly talk with a girl.
In the end, having the latest and most advanced technologies today has its advantages, but they are not always beneficial. Although it may have several side-effects, it does not mean that they cannot be avoided. A person should just learn to have proper control and management over his or her actions.
