Positive

I think these things are good because it is a lot eisier to find out what you want.

It is also good because somethings help the environment.

Negitive

One negitive thing is that it is destracting when driving and doing other things


Another is that it might be eisier to find peoples information.

Some bad things about technology are people can continue to call you and ask you to by a product. Another thing is people can sat bad things about you and make you feel bad. A good thing is that you can find out something that you were wondering about. You also can see where a friend lives if you don't know already. Natalie
