Writing Prompt

Daily writing prompt
How has technology changed your job?

Technology has not really changed my job but I would still like to respond to this prompt in some way so here is my response.

Technology is a double-edged sword. It can be equal parts amazing and terrifying. On the pros side, technology can link us to people from around the world. It opens up opportunities that may not have existed before. In my small world, the internet has allowed writers more availability in getting their work to readers because they don’t have to wait for a publisher to see the value in their work, they can just publish it themselves. On the other end of the spectrum, the negative side, technology opens up the road to identity theft. We can also fall prey to the easiness of it and fail to talk to our coworkers, friends, and family in person, therefore inadvertently pushing them away or taking them for granted. I doubt the internet is going anywhere and technology is only getting bigger and better so I try to see the best in it and hope that if the list of cons grows, there are way more reasons that technology makes the world a better world to live in.
