Technology dependence

We live in a world were technology is pervasive, but are we relying on this activity too much? Are we addicted or does our thirst for knowledge justify the heavy and prolonged usage of the wonderful world of technology?

Ok, enough of the rhetorical questions.

We have had people in society who have died from overuse of the computer. There was a Chinese man in beijing you died after playing a video game for 3 days straight; this is certainly an indication that we need to regularly review our time spent with technology or face the disastrous consequences.

I know this is only one example of the consequences on relying on technology too much but I sign off with this statement:

It is naïve to think there is a way to escape the alluring nature of technology, however; if we maintain our vigilance we can prevent our generations metamorphosing into a computer dependent socio-economic group. Letting our guard down, even for a second can spell disaster and the repercussions for such ignorance can be catastrophic, as our young generation continues to be readily absorbed into this unhealthy past time.
