For instance, we have a lot of Facebook friends,



                     but how many of those do we actually talk to. In


                     fact, we forgot how to interact with people face-



                     to-face. We pull out our phones even when our


                     friends are right in front of us. We are glued to



                     our phones all the time. We miss a lot of


                     chances to make friends in real life. So, is



                     technology really making our social life better? I


                     doubt it.



                             In conclusion, technology is powerful. We


                     need to learn to control it, not the other way



                     around. It is time for us to put down our phones


                     and talk to our friends. Walk out the door and



                     enjoy this beautiful planet. And most


                     importantly, we need to teach the new



                     generation how to use these powerful machines


                     we created. We are not slaves of technology; we



                     are the masters of the machine. If people solve
