Technology Dependence

Technology dependence is what happened when the human race chooses to depend on new technological advances for things to be done in a faster manner. For example, between texting and Facebook our youth today (including myself) is not as skilled having face-to-face communications with others as those who grew up in an earlier time period. As time progresses, our technological dependence is only expected to get worse. People will stop using textbooks and hard covers in school and instead use devices like Kindle to gather all of your reading needs in one device. Soon after, Kindle will also become obsolete with an even better invention to take its place. News Papers as well are suffering from the side effects of technological dependence. People no longer need to buy a paper every morning when they have their high-tech Blackberries and laptops to supply them with the information they need. These devices have the capability to send you news instantly through websites such as twitter or CNN. Even the New York Times is posted online and is directed towards those people who would rather not physically read the paper. One has to play fees for such convenient services, but in the end our growing lifestyles and intelligence would rather that for it’s convenience.
