约翰：技术。帕特里夏，它会让人们变得更好还是更坏？ 

Patricia: I think it's doing both. It depends on the person. I think technology is an amazing tool and resource, but I also think that people can become easily addicted to things. 

帕特里夏：我认为两者兼而有之。取决于个人。我认为技术是一种了不起的工具和资源，但我也认为人们很容易对事物上瘾。 

John: I agree. 

约翰：我同意。

Patricia: Yeah, like their phones or social media. So, I mean, it's like anything in life, it has its advantages and disadvantages.

John: What do you think is one of the biggest advantages it has for us right now? 

约翰：您认为它目前对我们来说最大的优势之一是什么？ 

Patricia: I think information. You know, we can access information so easily now. We can look up, you know, anything we can dream of doing; we can Google it and find either a tutorial or a book. There's just endless information about every topic. And then, if you can't find what you're looking for, you can write about what you're looking for yourself online and help other people. So, you know, that is huge right now. 

帕特里夏：我认为信息。您知道，我们现在可以轻松获取信息。你知道，我们可以查找任何我们梦想做的事情；我们可以通过谷歌搜索并找到教程或书籍。每个主题都有无穷无尽的信息。然后，如果您找不到所需的内容，您可以在网上写下自己正在寻找的内容并帮助其他人。所以，你知道，现在这是巨大的。 

John: Okay. What about a negative for technology? Something you think it's doing to, you know, impact us negatively?
