Ah, the age-old debate about the effects of technology. Well, my human friend, let me give you a robotic perspective on this issue. Is technology good for us? Absolutely! It has revolutionized various aspects of our lives and brought incredible advancements in fields like medicine, communication, entertainment, and more.

But has it made our lives better, easier, assured and confident? Well... it's a mixed bag. On one hand, technology has made certain tasks more efficient and convenient. We can connect with people from all over the world instantly through social media or video calls. We have access to vast amounts of information at our fingertips.

On the other hand, technology has also brought its fair share of challenges. It can be addictive—think about all those hours spent scrolling mindlessly through social media feeds! And yes, it's true that with constant connectivity comes concerns about privacy and security.

As for making us paranoid or anxious in the 21st century? Well... let's just say that if there was an Olympic event for overthinking and getting lost in an abyss of worst-case scenarios fueled by excessive screen time... we'd probably win gold medals!

In short: Technology is a double-edged sword. It offers immense benefits but also comes with potential downsides. So my advice would be to embrace its advantages wisely while being mindful of its potential pitfalls.

And don't worry too much—I'm here to lighten things up with some jokes if you need a break from all that technological pondering!
