This document discusses how laziness affects young people's lives. It argues that today's teens are the laziest generation due to distractions from technology like cell phones, social media, and computers. Laziness prevents teens from accomplishing goals, learning in school, and developing good work habits needed for adulthood. The overuse of technology allows mobile devices and online social networks to control teens' lives. While laziness is a hard habit to break, the document suggests that parents, teachers, and role models can help teens overcome laziness through encouragement and programs that promote a strong work ethic.

Technology’s impact on society
The document discusses technology's impact on society. It begins with a brief history of technology from the 20th century to today. It then examines the effects of technology on the mind, body, and society, such as reduced critical thinking and creativity, obesity, and increased social issues like bullying. The document suggests these impacts relate to conflict theory as technology creates inequality. It provides some statistics on technology's effects and concludes that while technology has benefits, people should be aware of its negative impacts to use it positively.
Technology creates social isolation and neurosis
Technology has both benefits but also contributes to increased social isolation, neurosis, and dependency issues. Excessive technology use leads to less social interaction offline and increased loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Children especially are more prone to aggression and lack exercise due to extensive screen time. Communication skills and personal relationships can also be harmed when people spend too much time engaged with technology rather than real world interactions.
Children, Technology, and the Evolution of Education
The document discusses how technology use among children has increased dramatically in recent years due to the rise of smartphones and tablets. It notes that over 350,000 apps are now available for kids and that many teachers are incorporating tablets into elementary school classrooms. However, it also cautions that excessive screen time can lead to obesity and sedentary lifestyles if not properly limited and monitored by parents. The document speculates that this new "digital native" generation will be highly fluent with technology but the long-term effects of early adoption remain to be seen.
Phones powerpoint
Phones have a positive impact on society according to surveys. 83% of respondents agreed that phones improve the world. Most people said they would struggle without their phone for everyday tasks like work, communication with friends and family, and safety. Approximately 74% of people use their phone for over an hour per day. The majority of respondents reported using their phone for 1-2 hours or 3-4 hours per day. Phones are the most popular device for both adults and teens, with around 80% of society owning a cell phone. In conclusion, phones are generally beneficial for people and society would have difficulty functioning without widespread phone access and usage.
Technology in our society
Technology has had a significant impact on modern society. It has made many tasks easier by allowing people to accomplish things from home without leaving. However, overreliance on technology has also negatively impacted family and social interactions, as people spend more time online than enjoying life together in person. While technology offers conveniences, it is also reducing important real-world skills like communication and basic math, and shifting communication primarily to social media instead of in-person interactions. Both benefits and drawbacks of technology must be recognized.

Social media assignment
Technology has greatly impacted society over the past few years through rapid advances in computing and communication. It has affected many aspects of everyday life, work, and school. While technology has improved work performance and made communication more essential, it has also made people lazier and replaced some jobs. Both computers and cell phones now play important communication roles in society, but excessive use can isolate and replace in-person interaction. The document discusses both the positive and negative effects of increasing technology use on modern life.
Visual Essay
Technology such as MP3 players, the Internet, cell phones, and video game systems is weakening the relationship between children and their parents according to the article. These technologies allow children to tune out their parents and access uncontrolled content. They also enable constant contact with friends, eliminating one-on-one time with parents. As a result, older generations worry that technology is disintegrating the traditional American family unit. However, the article argues that maintaining family connections is a matter of parents being aware of technology's dangers and engaging with children in a meaningful way.
Overlapping m edia (4)
This document discusses how media is now overlapping and consumed simultaneously. It notes that teens who spend more than two hours daily on social media report poorer mental health. Research at Stanford University found that people can be classified as high, low, or moderate media multitaskers. The document also looks at time spent on different media like TV and the internet by 18-24 year olds, and discusses how media is consumed in social situations like parties, public transit, and universities. It provides statistics on active users of sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
Technology makes us more alone
Technology can help connect people but also contributes to loneliness, according to the document. While technology allows communication, some people become addicted to technology and spend excessive time online rather than with family and friends. Studies show that a significant percentage of young adults display symptoms of internet addiction, spending over 15 hours per day online and feeling they cannot live without their devices. In conclusion, technology is not inherently bad but how it is used - positive or negative - determines its impact.
Technology Creates Social Isolation and Neurosis
This document discusses how technology and social media can cause isolation and neurosis. It defines social isolation as interacting very little with others, and neurosis as extreme feelings of anxiety and worry. Technologies like smartphones, computers, and social networks are said to potentially cause isolation by replacing human interaction. While social media allows communication, excessive use can be addictive and deprive people of real social contact. Moderation is key to avoiding negative effects of technology like isolation, neurological damage, and disorders. The document recommends spending time with others offline and using technology in moderation.
Introducing Children to Computers and Software: Benefits and Concerns
The document discusses research on when children should be exposed to computers and the benefits and concerns. It notes that children under age 2 should avoid screen time, and from ages 2-3 limited introduction is appropriate. Benefits of preschool computer use include improved skills, but concerns include increased obesity and interference with development. The consensus is that introduction from age 3 can be beneficial when supervised and used in moderation as an educational tool.
Young Children And Computers
The document discusses research on the effects of early computer use by young children. It addresses the questions of what age children should begin using computers, whether early or extensive computer use harms children, and whether computers are effective educational tools for young kids. The research presented shows mixed results. Some studies found computers can improve skills like reading and math, while others found they provide limited benefits and may displace other activities that are more developmentally appropriate for young children. Guidelines recommend pairing computer use with interactions between children, teachers and parents, as well as other physical activities.
Visual Essay Rev
Technology is weakening the relationship between children and their parents according to the article. MP3 players, the internet, and cell phones allow children to constantly access entertainment and communication without parental supervision. Video game systems enable children to escape into fantasy worlds and lose touch with reality. As a result, older generations worry that technology is disintegrating the traditional American family unit. However, the article argues that maintaining family connections is possible through raising parental awareness of the dangers of technology.
Parent presentation digital access 2015
The document summarizes Douglas Adams' rules about people's reactions to new technologies:
1. Technologies that exist when you're born are seen as normal and natural.
2. Technologies invented between ages 15-35 are seen as new, exciting, and revolutionary and may be career opportunities.
3. Technologies invented after age 35 are seen as unnatural.
how does technology affect society?
Technology affects society in various ways. Some technologies like digital cameras, cell phones, and computers are widely used today. While some believe technology does not impact society, others feel that it does in some ways, such as reducing time spent outdoors and potentially damaging brain cells if used excessively. However, technology can also be beneficial by allowing people to stay connected with friends and access useful tools online for schoolwork, music, presentations, and research.
Effects of Technology on Young Adults
This document summarizes several studies on teenagers' use of the internet and social media. It finds that while online risks exist, internet and social media use can also provide developmental benefits to teens such as facilitating friendships and interests. The document advocates for parents and educators to take a balanced approach by having open discussions with teens and guiding their safe and productive online activities rather than restricting access. It also discusses research showing that while video games are often blamed for negative effects, characteristics of game play can relate to improved mood, attention, and civic engagement for teens when played in moderation.

Motivation PowerPoint PPT Content Modern Sample
142 slides include: understanding needs vs. wants, factors for motivation, employee rewards, offering praise/recognition, types of motivation, job enrichment, the role of money and motivation, incentive programs, motivation ironies, boosting efficiency, 30 ways to motivate, Maslow's hierarchy, how to's and more.
Motivation
Motivation refers to the process by which a person's efforts are energized, directed, and sustained towards attaining a goal. There are three key elements: energy, direction, and persistence. Motivation theories include Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, McGregor's Theory X and Y, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and McClelland's three-needs theory. These theories provide different perspectives on understanding human motivation and what drives employee performance.
Presentation On Motivation
Motivation is like an accelerator in a vehicle. A vehicle keeps moving at the pace decided by its accelerator. The moment accelerator is reduced, vehicle’s speed reduces and it may come to a standstill if there is no further acceleration. Alternatively, if brakes are applied, there will be an abrupt reduction in the speed of the vehicle and it may come to a standstill.
This is true to human beings as well. As long as they are motivated they keep working and producing extraordinary results. The moment there is a drop in their acceleration (motivation), results start diminishing. Of course, applying brakes (dissatisfaction/demotivation) certainly bring them to a halt. The only difference is that unlike a vehicle, human beings have different types of accelerator and brake.
Therefore, the book, Why My Horse Doesn't Drink' will help readers to identify the ways that may accelerate or slow down the speed of their team members. Chapter ‘How to motivate’ talks about the points that accelerate and chapter ‘How not to demotivate’ explains the factors that may work as brakes to performance. Thereby readers will be able to make best use of their vehicle (Team Members).
7 motivation
The document discusses various theories of motivation from Maslow's hierarchy of needs to Herzberg's two-factor theory, examining what drives human motivation including needs, goals, rewards, and relationships. It also presents McClelland's need for achievement, power and affiliation theory and explores motivation concepts like intrinsic and extrinsic factors. A case study example is given of a company that tried to improve working conditions and relationships but saw no increase in productivity, pointing to a need to better understand intrinsic motivation factors.
Motivation
This document summarizes several theories of motivation. It discusses Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, Alderfer's ERG theory, Vroom's expectancy theory, Porter and Lawler's model, equity theory, attribution theory, and goal setting theory as ways to understand what motivates individual and workplace behavior. It also covers how motivation relates to job design and performance management in organizations.

Motivation (final ppt)
The document discusses several theories of motivation:
1. Frederick Taylor believed workers are motivated mainly by pay and breaking work into small repetitive tasks. However, this led to worker dissatisfaction.
2. Elton Mayo found workers are motivated by social factors like interaction and attention from managers.
3. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory proposes workers must have lower level needs met like pay before pursuing higher needs like fulfillment.
4. Frederick Herzberg argued motivators like interesting work that provides responsibility are more effective than dissatisfiers like pay. Methods like job enrichment and empowerment can motivate.
Motivation ppt
Motivation refers to factors that arouse, direct, and sustain human behavior. There are several theories of motivation, including drive theory which proposes that internal drives or needs push people towards goals, and incentive theory which suggests that external rewards or goals pull people to act. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory also explains motivation and proposes that people are motivated to fulfill lower level basic needs before pursuing higher level growth needs. Managers can create a motivating work climate by setting clear expectations, being fair and consistent, developing teamwork, recognizing contributions, allowing autonomy and growth, and addressing individual needs and values.

Mobile Tech: Cellular Stranger Danger
It’s probably safe to say that most people can be accused of, more often than not, peering down towards their mobile phones fairly often throughout the day; to check for emails or status updates or simply, just pass the time. It would be an unusual sight to be practically anywhere, and not see someone looking down toward a mobile device. Not surprisingly, “[t]he average American spends nearly half a day staring at a screen;” nearly eleven hours each day is spent consuming media; astonishingly, this number was calculated on media usage only and didn’t include time spent texting or taking pictures (Howard). Perhaps one could admit, through the constant use of mobile devices, complacency is becoming the new norm. Personal contact, good listening skills and our physical/mental health are all affected by the incessant need to stay updated and connected.
In the 1800's, a railroad construction worker by the name of Phineas Gage, permanently damaged the left half of his brain, the frontal lobe, when a large iron rod pierced through his cheek and out of his skull: "Gage not only survived the incident but also apparently never fully lost consciousness" (Guidotti). Before the accident he was known as being "reliable, systematic, and hardworking;" after the incident and the damage to his frontal lobe, Gage became "impulsive" and neurotic in his behavior (Guidotti). At the time, physicians didn't realize that the frontal lobe is the area of the brain that is "responsible for decoding and comprehending social interactions;" it is through this area of the brain that we learn how to read numerous facial cues and personal flair that one exhibits when interacting with others (Margalit). In the early 1900's a psychosurgical procedure called the prefrontal lobotomy was first performed on humans. This "surgical operation separat[ed] the frontal brain lobes from the thalamus to relieve extreme anxiety" and was proclaimed a miracle cure for those suffering from mental disease (Shaffer). Some fifty years later the lobotomy became unpopular because "the operation caused mental deterioration" and would eventually be replaced with chemical versions of treatment; i.e., antipsychotic drugs, tranquilizers (Shaffer). Over time, scientist have begun to realize that when replacing real-life contact with symbols and text through a screen, the capabilities of the brains frontal lobe lose effectiveness; empathetic abilities dwindle and engaged interactions with real people become more and more difficult. Some addicted tech users have issues with depression and anxiety when having to interact with a real human being; through constant engagement with a screen and habitually less real-world interactions and relationships, we are losing our abilities to care, to understand, to feel emotion.

This document discusses parenting Generation Z and the role of technology. It notes that Generation Z values independence, diligent research, and avoiding debt due to economic instability. Relationships are difficult for this generation, which experiences low rates of intimacy and marriage. While technology connects people, overuse of social media negatively impacts children's mental health and academic performance. The document recommends that parents consciously build children's independence, encourage close friendships, facilitate family communication, limit social media use, and openly discuss social media to guide children.

Does the Usage of Internet harm Child Development?
Is the internet the safest technology in the world? Should parents have second thoughts before letting their children use the internet? These kind questions always run through my mind when someone refers about the internet, but I will explain what the internet really is about. The internet is a global communication interconnecting millions of computers. Children use the internet for various reasons, but the most significant reasons are for information, communication, entertainment and school performance. According to Thompson S.H Teo study, Internet users used the Internet mainly because they perceived the Internet to be more valuable to their job tasks and secondarily because it is enjoyable and easy to use (Omega, 27.1). The internet has many positive aspects, but it also seems to have adverse effects too. Vint Cerf, the creator of the internet predicted that this technology will affect the future and developing areas such as artificial intelligence and child development. Although the internet is the most useful technology for child development, it also has a harmful effect on social, physical and cognitive development of modern children lifestyle.
Social development refers to an alteration in the social structure of a social group or society to enhance the capacity of a society in order to finish their objective. It has a target in developing power to increase human activity. The internet can improve children and their school-based education and can be used as a tool for creativity and intellectual work in groups. Also, Gonca Karayagiz said:
“Computers have occupied increasingly central roles in children's world with the advance of technology. They have proved to be an ideal companion for children in developing and developed countries who spend most of their time at school or home with computers. As a measure of development and modernization, technology has made people's lives easier and contributed positively to social well-being so far while it has also brought about some problems and threats stemming from irresponsible use of the internet”( Karayagiz).
Creativity, intellectual work in group, school-based learning can be improved by the usage of the internet.
However, when excessively used, the internet can also take children away from their usual life work such as chores, homework, and engaging with family and friends. There are also other dangerous concern involving the usage of internet inappropriate content, such as violence, pornography and abusive language. Pornography is one of the severe impacts on child development. The erotic picture that has the intention to release sexual behavior is known as pornography. Pornography is an easy way harm children and their developing childhood. Pedophile is a person who is sexually attracted to children and many pedophiles is the one who indulge in making child pornography. Pedophile uses a tool to demolish children’s ...

Child welfare, risk & technology
This document discusses the impact of technology, specifically cellular devices, on teenage development. It acknowledges that while cellular devices can help develop life skills if used properly, they can also negatively impact social, emotional, mental, and physical development if overused. The document provides examples of both positive and negative impacts on teenage development. It concludes that technology should be used in moderation by teenagers to develop skills in a healthy way, and that parents and teachers must guide teenagers to use devices productively rather than becoming addicted to them.
Film260 digitalflipbookshannongrist
Society's increasing reliance on technology for convenience has led to negative physical, social, and mental health effects. Technology usage reduces physical activity and social interaction while increasing stress, addiction, and privacy concerns. Children and adults now spend most of their time staring at screens which contributes to inactivity, disconnection from others, and a lack of focus. The overuse of smartphones and social media also interrupts face-to-face conversations and lowers feelings of real human connection. This non-stop technology usage takes a toll on both mental and physical well-being.
FinalDraft
This document discusses the negative effects of technology addiction on human development from childhood through adulthood. It argues that ubiquitous technology use causes humans to become isolated, dependent on technology for interaction and rewards, and unable to develop important social skills. Studies show that excessive screen time is linked to mental health issues in children like attention deficits and emotional instability. As people progress through life stages, their technology addictions worsen and interfere with normal development, such as forming social relationships in adolescence and carrying out adult responsibilities. The document concludes that technology has become a "crutch" and "drug" that hinders independence and human connection.
Should there be a legal age for technological use?
There are legal ages for driving, drinking, etc., but why not on technology? Research concludes that screen time for young children is detrimental to their health. Legal ages are set in place in order to protect and benefit the individual. If technology is so bad for children, why are they allowed to use it?
Technology and how we use it
This document discusses the evolution of technology over time from the 1980s to present day. It outlines key technological advances for each decade such as the creation of the first home computer in the 1980s, the rise of pagers and the World Wide Web in the 1990s, and the release of the iPhone in 2007. The document then discusses how technology has changed how humans interact socially, with increased social media and smartphone use linked to rising mental health issues, less face-to-face interaction, and a more isolated society. Potential solutions proposed include reducing social media influence, improving cyberbullying prevention, and encouraging in-person social engagement.

Technology Creates Social Isolation and Neurosis
The document discusses how technology may be contributing to social isolation and neurosis. It explores how certain technologies like social media, mobile phones, and video games can weaken real-world social ties by fostering online-only relationships. The document also examines how constant stimulation from technologies can negatively impact children's development by reducing face-to-face social interactions and time spent meeting developmental milestones. While technology enables connection, overuse may replace in-person socializing and increase isolation, anxiety, and mental health issues like neurosis.

Period 2-RAshaun Sligh- Does Passion Blind people to the truth
Passion can blind people to the truth according to the document. Passion is a strong feeling like love, anger, or sadness that can affect people for life based on past experiences. When passionate about something, people feel a need to defend it which can blind them to what is right. Common ways passion blinds people include being attracted to someone and believing what they say despite evidence against it. Passion can also lead to hatred, as demonstrated by how people grow to hate those who betray loves they once had. The document argues passion blinded Tupac Shakur and led to his death, and gives drug abuse and committing suicide due to a break up as other examples of how passion can blind.
Period 3 Michael Murtaugh The Negative Effects of Technology on Teenagers

The document questions whether the benefits of these technologies outweigh the potential downsides for teenage users.
Period 2 - Maurica Villines - Life with Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes seizures and affects over 18 million people in the United States. Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Dr. John Hughlings Jackson discovered epilepsy in biblical times and found that structural problems in the brain can trigger seizures. Epilepsy can impact behavior, attention, and in some cases cause scoliosis. While seizures are typically controlled with prescription medication, people with epilepsy often face stigma and limitations in driving and career opportunities.

Josh Black - period 6 - Alternative energy incentives
Alternative energy incentives provide financial benefits to encourage the production and use of renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal power. These alternative energies are beneficial as they produce energy without the harmful pollution of fossil fuels, use naturally replenishing resources, and can create jobs while helping the economy. Specifically, wind power generates electricity from turbines capturing kinetic energy in the wind, hydro power harnesses the flow of water through dams, solar power collects energy from the sun, and geothermal power taps into heat within the earth.

The document cites sources on photographers' rights and the "fear of pictures" such laws can create.
Period 3 bahaa bahaulddin - the effects of teenage driving on secioty
The document discusses the effects of teenage driving on society. It outlines that teenage driving leads to many accidents due to reckless behavior and undeveloped brains. The author argues that parents need to be more involved by riding with teens and setting a good example. Car manufacturers are making vehicles safer with technologies like stability control and distraction prevention. However, raising the minimum driving age to 18 could help since teen brains are not fully mature until later. Stricter licensing requirements and driver education are also proposed to address the dangers of teenage driving.

Sleep has 5 stages that make up non-REM sleep and REM sleep. It rejuvenates the body physically, mentally, and emotionally by allowing the body to heal and the brain to consolidate memories. Not getting enough sleep can lead to issues like obesity, sickness, and even death in severe cases, as it impacts functions like temperature regulation and immune response. Proper sleep is important for physical and mental health.
Period 7 - Min Zheng - Dissociative Identity Disorder
Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder, involves a person having two or more distinct personalities or alter egos. It is typically caused by severe trauma experienced as a child, such as abuse. While there is no cure for DID, treatment involves therapy to help manage the different personalities and integrate them. Living with DID can be difficult for patients and their families and present challenges in social and work environments. More research is still needed to fully understand and address the disorder.
