We already are reliant on technology. If we weren't, the human population would be in the low millions at most. We'd be living in small communities, tribes if you will. And we'd be hunting big game with spears made of stone while the women harvested herbs, fruits and vegetables.
Technology is not a bad thing. It has been increasing our standard of living for thousands of years and will continue to do so. The fear of it taking over is known as technophobia. Which truthfully is kind of ironic, considering you're on an Internet discussion forum, accessed and manipulated via technology.
Lol you've totally taken what I've said out of proportion.. Yes technology is already pretty much everywhere but if you start replacing things like books in school for electronic devices, in my opinion, that's taking things a bit to far. I can see the benefits but I hope in the future we aren't totally reliant upon technology...
