People and Technology Reliance
Prompt:
The modern world is filled with exciting technology. Much of it is designed to make our lives better. Medical advances prolong good health and lifespans. Air conditioning and modern construction keep us comfortable and safe in our homes and places of business. Television and the internet provide us with access to unprecedented levels of information and entertainment. GPS helps us find our way, and the safety advances in automotive engineering get us to our destinations safely. It is definitely an exciting time to be alive. Even so, there are many who say that our reliance on technology has become a problem. Some people cannot find their way without a GPS unit. Others cannot seem to live without the constant social interaction provided by social media and instant communication provided by texting. Some find life unbearable without their cellphones and internet access. Do people rely too much on technology? Why or why not?
