This makes it almost impossible for students to understand and ask questions where necessary.

Values and Morals

Technology has also taken away the values and Morals, that was normally instilled in children by parents back then. Children now value and imitate the role models they find online and in movies.

They do not have regards for advice they receive from their parents and guardians who sometimes do not even have time for them.

Time

Time has been another most important thing that technology has stolen from us. Most Parents spend a lot of their time interacting with their Laptops, phones and other devices.

Some parents even go to the extent of ignoring their children, telling them that they don't have time talk, just because of this silent thief: "Technology".

Many people in general lack time to communicate with others even when they are with people. They are always focused on communicating online, sometimes with the people they don't even know.

They like spending many hours online without talking to anyone. And it's quite funny that some people even forget to eat staying online for a whole day.

However, we need to be cautious and balanced on how we use it so that it will not affect our life negatively.
