Thread: Do we rely too much on technology?

I think that it depend on the use we give to it. Initially, technology was created to make certain activities like communication more easily and inexpensive as it was being done, so in an economical and efficient point of view, it has certainly improved our life. Also, is true that the missus of anything is always a bad thing, and many people see in the use of technology a way to laziness and stop making an effort to do anything by themselves. Taking both points into account, I think that a responsible and correct use of technology can improve our lifestyles, but too much of it, can be a dangerous thing as it makes us more and more dependant on it.

I think we do rely on technology. I mean look at the technology that has evolved from cars to keeping our money safe in the bank. Everything is now electronic and more advanced day by day,year by year. When you look at what this world is built on we see 2 Major operations that's 1.Computers and 2.Drugs. These 2 Major operations are the way to make money either it being the honest way or the dirty way...they both make more money than any real estate business in the world including Trump and Hilton estates.

I think so but we use it for good purposes well some of the stuff.

U know technology is fine it helps lots of ppl being connected and this and that but as long as their is balance then we are still fine.
That is why we still try to teach the basics to our sons like making fire cooking meat ion a fire catching fish in the river or sea or whereever.
So we wont completely be dumbstruck if that happened i would be fine i know ...

Would u be fine...?

Without our technology, we would be nothing. Should someone take away our tech equipment, humans would be completely helpless. At least the vast majority would

You know its funny that we as humans have gotten so lazy that all we have to do is go on the computer and order groceries to be delivered to our homes instead of going there and getting it ourselves!

so true. people nowadays tend to rely on technology more than they should, some for luxury or for comfort. technology was meant to make everyday lives easier, but man's tendency to seek further knowledge and unconciously use it to destroy, takes away the primary objective of technology.

but come to think of it, if modern man was to be stripped away from modern tech, and be cast away on some deserted place without anything but just nature, man would always find a way for survival. thus, creating primitive tools (which is also technology) and basically end up with something like our technology through the ages. humans are indebt with this quality to survive, his need for living will always push him through obstacles... i just wish all of us would learn to rely on our capabilities more than we rely on technology... ^_^
