In Technology Era, everyone must understand the meaning of digital technology. Digital technologies are electronic tools, systems, devices and resources that generate, store or process data. Well known examples include social media, online games, multimedia and mobile phones. Nowadays, many school change the learning system from traditional learning system to digital learning system. Even the way to market the product also change to digital marketing system. But, do you think the development in digital technology can make people addicted to it?
According to my reading, digital technology indeed to make people addicted to it. Why people became addicted to digital technology? Based on my understanding, people addict to digital technology because digital technology able to attract people's attention. For example, in Facebook apps has group chat function. The group chat function drive you to connect each other around the world. Notifications and “presence features” in Facebook group keep people notified of each others’ availability and activities in real-time so that some start to become compulsive checkers.
Compulsive checker is the one of symptom that people addicted to digital technology. I believe most people in this world have this kind of symptom. It happened because most people think if they didn't check their phone, they will miss out latest news. But, it is not good for their social. When people obsess to digital technology, they will have trouble with their reality life.

The list of disadvantage, we can see it directly. Because people addicted to digital technology, they started depend on digital technology, including find the information, read the news and etc. But, sometimes addicted to digital technology is a good things. Since, our country focus to develop in technology, people who have more knowledge in technology may benefit them. Why addicted to digital technology may benefit to people?
The reason why addicted to digital technology bring advantage to us is:

Even we can see the disadvantage more than advantage, but digital technology good for us. Because of digital technology, we able to make cashless transaction, able to access many website, and able to apply a job or market the vacancy.
