Technology definitely helps us. Medical advancements, scientific advancements, technology that makes everyday tasks easier or more attainable are all good things. But all Sunshine makes a desert.
We need to learn to limit our use and Reliance upon technology. Technology, on the dark side, convinces us we should do more, accomplish more, be faster, be more efficient. Just because we can fit it into a day due to technology doesn't necessarily mean we should.
And while we can reach more people at the farthest ends of the earth, we're actually less connected and more isolated than ever before.
Lastly, the more we rely on devices and machinery the more vulnerable we are when it fails us. I'm sure this was said of things like the typewriter and electricity, too, but the lesson is in there.
