Good thesis statment about the cause/effect on technology

This essay will be about the cause and effect that technology has on today's society when it comes to cell phones, iPods, video games, computers, internet, cable and sateillite television.

I like this sentence you wrote. I think it makes an acceptable thesis statement. However, some teachers think you should not refer to the essay in the essay. So, you maybe should not say, "This essay will be about..."

You can say something bold and argumentative. Say something some people might disagree with, like this:
Technology has made society better and stronger in every way, because cell phones, iPods, video games, computers, the Internet, and sateillite satellite television all make us more effective in our work.

This is a bold statement. Some people will say, "No, technology makes us lazy," and you must argue with them boldly.

'Technology affect our attention' - Would this be a good thesis statement?

While today's technology and social media networks can help alleviate our boredom, it is this same technology that is affecting our attention spans because it causes too much distraction

"it is this..." is wrong

You need a full prompt as to know how you and readers will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.

Also, you may start asking yourself by;
Do I answer the question? Re-reading the question prompt after constructing a working thesis can help you fix an argument that misses the focus of the question.

Thesis for how technology affects us

I need help creating a thesis for how technology influences our daily lives. My sub topics are how first responders, teachers, online business, and doctors use technology.

If you take out the online business from your sub topics, you will be able to create an interconnected research paper and thesis that will flow better and be simpler to research on your part. My thesis statement would be something along the lines of "Technology has helped improve emergency response due to the instant nature of communication and on site assessment abilities." Or something like that. I am sure you understand what I mean. You know that the 3 sub-topics are closely related so it will be easier for you to formulate a thesis based on my "off the top of my head" suggestion. Just remove the online business topic since it is out of place in the discussion.
