READ THE PARAGRAPH THAT ADDRESSES THE OVERUSE OF YOUTH BY TECHNOLOGY

The Exaggerated Use of Technology by Young People in Brazil

Lately, it's easy to see that young people overuse technology. On the streets, we noticed many of them walking around always connected with headphones indicating that, at the other end of this wire, there is a cell phone or some electronic device, probably connected to the internet. Technology is so present in the lives of teenagers that even, in the classroom, they divide their attention between learning and the distraction offered by the virtual world.

Observation: From what was initially stated (Lately, it's easy to see that young people overuse technology), examples were used to justify this sentence and build a paragraph coherently. Now it's up to you!

Read the affirmative sentence and continue writing with examples to justify it.

However, we note that young people are harmed in their personal and social life due to the exaggerated use of technology.
