Has Technology Taken Over Our Lives?

      Technology is an important part of our lives now because it makes everything much easier, efficient and reliable, but has it taken over our lives? I believe that although modern technology is important but it has also made humans a lot lazier and a lot more dependable on technology rather than personal work. Technology has its advantages but I believe that the long term results are devastating. I believe so because not only is technology making us lazier but it has made us lazier to think as well, as a result we don’t use that much thinking that will ultimately make us stupid. For example, if we want to learn how to start a fire grill, we should use the form of trial and error which is a good way for learning because you get to use your form of thinking and contemplation on how to start a fire grill, but nowadays, people just go on the internet and search for other people’s ideas and ways to do things so in the end it actually lowers an individual’s creativity level.

      Moreover, I feel as if people rely on technology to the point of actually putting more importance on technology than on other qualities that is much more important and valuable. Qualities such as creativity, broader mind set on things and even hard work and labor.

      Ultimately I can understand to a certain extent the reasons why technology is so important but at the same time I know when to use technology and when to use my own personal hard work to do what needs to be done.
