How about these examples for tech essay:

Could you score this please? I supported it, and I said the following:

Safety: While modern technology helps us get around quicker, there are still harms to using it. I used the MagLev Train Disaster in France form last year and the South African Airways crash, both of which were caused due to faulty equipment.

Privacy: Used 1984 by Orwell to show harms of excessive use of technology in society (telescreens).

Health: America has an obesity crisis. Gone are the days when schoolchildren walked in groups to schools; now they use the bus. Everywhere we go, whether it is down the street, or a just around the block, is now by car or bus. We used to be able to lose weight from manual work, now we cannot. Example 2: While pharma drugs help save many lives, there is still is no foolproof method for knowing full effects. Used Vioxx and Baycol (both faulty drugs that caused deaths).

Society: Familial ties are being broken down. Dinnertime used to be a time when we discussed the day's events with our family. Now it has become American Idol and SportsCenter time. This is leading to a less tight familial structure. Advent of technology like TV has caused this.


Thanks
