What is Technology Dependance?

Technology Dependence is essentially reliance on technology and how much we need it to carry out a normal day in society. While some people admit that they may heavily rely on their personal gadgets, others may be increasingly unaware how much people rely on technology. Technology helps us to communicate with others, remain informed in the world, and simply to be entertained. Interpersonal communication is ceasing to be a big part in peoples lives simply because technology inhabits every minute of our life. (Vivian 23) There seems to be two spectrums as to how technology dependence can be defined. Both our personal lives and communication by the masses are affected. In our personal life, most adults rely heavily on their phone in order to contact the people they want to. With increasing smart phone distribution, people also rely on their phone for e-mail, social networking, and other things that pull them away from their current environment. Communication in the masses is also affected due to the technology we rely on in auditoriums to project our message louder so the audience is able to comprehend it. Back in historic Greece the auditoriums were able to project their voices to their audience in a brilliant manner due to the superb acoustics of the coliseums. Society should start to become more aware on how some technology is not quite necessary.
