answer:Positive: I am more informed; I am able to watch TV around my schedule; I can always reach someone if I am out and I need/want something. Negative: I don’t remember phone numbers anymore; I spend time looking up useless or unneeded information; I spend less time in the real world, with real people (though that’s not always bad). I’d say my life is better now, and I am happier now, but whether or not that is due to technology, I can’t say.
