Technology in Our Lives

Look around you! Technology is everywhere today. We use it when we video call friends, play games, or check the bus schedule on our phones. Students now learn with tablets and YouTube videos instead of only books. Doctors use amazing machines to see inside our bodies and fix problems. Even our fridges can tell us when food is old!

But technology changes fast. Just 10 years ago, phones couldn't recognize faces or translate languages instantly. Now, AI helps write emails and find photos of your dog in seconds!

Of course, sometimes people scroll TikTok too much or believe fake news. The key? Use technology like a tool—not let it control you. Want to know a secret? The people who succeed today are those who learn tech skills!
