Reading Comprehension Activity – 10th Grade

Time: 45 minutes
Level: B1
Topic: Technology and Its Impact on Society

Reading Text: "The Future of Technology"

In recent years, technology has changed the way we live, work, and communicate. The rise of
smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence has transformed many aspects of our daily lives.
While some people argue that technology has made our lives easier and more efficient, others believe it
has created new challenges for society.

One of the main benefits of technology is that it allows people to connect with each other regardless of
distance. With the use of social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, friends and
family members can stay in touch even if they live far apart. In addition, technology has made information
more accessible than ever before. With a few clicks, anyone can search for information on any topic they
are interested in.

However, technology also has its downsides. Some experts worry that people are becoming too dependent
on their devices. Instead of having face-to-face conversations, many people now communicate primarily
through their phones. This has led to concerns that social skills, especially among young people, may be
declining. Furthermore, the spread of misinformation through the internet has become a serious problem.
Fake news and false information can spread quickly, influencing public opinion and even elections.

In the future, technology will likely continue to evolve at a rapid pace. Many experts predict that artificial
intelligence and automation will play a bigger role in industries like healthcare, transportation, and
education. While these innovations could improve efficiency and convenience, they may also lead to job
loss and other social issues.

Overall, technology has the potential to improve our lives in many ways, but it is important to address the
challenges it creates. As technology continues to advance, society must find a balance between embracing
innovation and ensuring that its negative impacts are minimized.
