No, technological advances are not always good. There are benefits, though, to be sure. For one, I get a smart phone, which provides convenient access to a broad range of
information. I like surfing the Internet and scanning news websites, and reading
posts on forums is always relaxing to me. But I notice that I am
accustomed to mostly reading short texts. I have lost my ability to read longer and more extensive texts. I haven't read a book patiently for more than half an hour
consistently.
