XXI cent XXI century - technology is everywhere around us. Yes, nowadays progress is really great. Only a few decades ago people could just dream that technology become our "friends". Today we make our dreams come true, but is it as good as it seems? Today we can meet many people who like technological progress and want to have more modern techniques in their lives to make them easier. Yeah, I also think that modern technics are really great and comfortable for using, for example, our smartphones, aren't them? We can listen to music, play different games, make documents, read books, take photos, videos,  chatting with friends and find almost all information that we want on the Internet. It is cool, doesn't it? What about modern TV sets - they're like computers, because of Internet and even cameras on some of them. So if we miss a program or a movie, we shouldn't wait for some time to watch it by the second showing, we can easily find it on the Internet. And cars... many of us have them or as I just want to have a personal car, because it's perfect and comfortable transport. You can reach many places that you want while driving in warm saloon and listening to music. What else? But let's check the "other side of a medal". Smartphones that are our "friends" are actually bad for our health and in general for us. Why? First of all when we use them for much time (almost all day as many people do), our eyesight becomes worse. We are like zombies,  smartphone zombies. Do you notice that? I do and I think that many people understand that we really degrade with them; we became lazier, weaker and maybe even more stupid. We know it, but we do nothing to correct it. Yes, we are phone zombies. I would also like to say some words about cars. We sit in our car and drive to everywhere we want. It is good for us and bad at the same time, because we become lazier and we almost cease walk by our feet, so as result we can get many diseases, for example, overweight, and it will be a good ending... All in all technology is not so good as it seems, first of all because it can be bad for our health, so we should reduce using it, but it's really hard, maybe even impossible for us; and it is required. This is the truth, a little sad, but truth.

XXI cent

XXI century - technology is everywhere around us. Yes, nowadays progress is really great. Only a few decades ago people could just only dream that technology would become our "friends". Today we make our dreams come true, but is it as good as it seems?
Today we can meet many people who like technological progress (you could even just say "technology") and want to have more modern techniques technology in their lives to make them easier. Yeah, I also think that modern technics are technology is really great and comfortable for using to use, for example, our smartphones, aren't them they great (I think this is what you mean)? We can listen to music, play different games, make documents, read books, take photos, videos,  chatting with friends and find almost all of the information that we want on the Internet. It is cool, doesn't isn't it? What about modern TV sets - they're like computers because of the Internet and there are even cameras on some of them. So if we miss a program ("tv show" or just "show" is more common, at least in American English) or a movie, we shouldn't don't need to wait for some time to watch it by at the second showing, we can easily find it on the Internet. And cars... many of us have them or as people like me I just want to have a personal car, because it's perfect and comfortable transportation. You can reach many places that you want while driving in the warmth saloon  and listening to music. What else?
But let's check the "other side of a medal the coin". Smartphones that are our "friends" are actually bad for our health and bad in general for us. Why? First of all when we use them for much a long time (almost all day as many people do), our eyesight becomes worse. We are like zombies,  smartphone zombies. Do you notice that?

Yes, we are phone zombies. I would also like to say some words about cars. We sit in our car and drive to everywhere anywhere we want. It is good for us and bad at the same time, because we become lazier and we almost cease walking by our feet, so as result we can get many diseases, for example, overweight obesity, and it will not be a good ending...
All in all technology is not so good as it seems, first of all because it can be bad for our health, so we should reduce using it, but it's really hard, maybe even impossible for us; and it is required.

Awesome job!

"Technology" refers to any electronic and can refer to general technological progress.

"Technique" refers to how you perform something. For example, "She is a good dancer. She has a good tenique." Or, "He is an amazing singer, he uses a very classical technique."

"Saloon" is a word that is rarely used, since in modern English a saloon is a "bar for cowboys." It generally should be replaced with "room" but if you are talking about a room in a vehicle, "cabin" is a better word. For example, "My house has many rooms." Or, "Boats have many cabins." In the sentence that you wrote, though, it is best just to say "in the warmth" since there isn't really a room or cabin in a car.
