Reading Passage: The Power and Peril of Technology

In today's rapidly advancing world, technology has become an indispensable part of daily life. From smartphones to artificial intelligence, innovations have transformed the way we communicate, learn, and work. Proponents argue that technology drives progress, fosters connectivity, and opens new horizons for human potential. However, critics warn of over-dependence, privacy concerns, and the erosion of genuine human interaction. As society navigates this digital era, it is imperative to weigh both the benefits and risks carefully. Evidence suggests that while technology can enhance productivity and access to information, it can also foster distractions, reduce physical activity, and compromise personal privacy. The challenge lies in harnessing technological advancements responsibly, ensuring they serve to improve quality of life rather than diminish it. Ultimately, the future of technology depends on informed decision-making and ethical development. The question remains: how can we balance innovation with caution to create a sustainable digital future?
