I assume you have no refrigerator in your household? You walk everywhere because you refuse to own a vehicle, bicycle, skateboard, etc.? You grow and raise everything you eat? Your house doesn't have electricity? You have no mass-manufactured goods in your home (glass cleaner, computers, most furniture, etc.)?
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.
Ho, ho, ho! Well, if it isn't fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison!
