What is technology dependence?

Technology dependence is basically our reliance on technology to complete our everyday tasks. As technology has advanced over the years tasks that were once very difficult can be done at the click of a button. Now people depend on this technology to achieve various things. Students depend on the internet and computers to complete their homework. Adults depend on television to inform them of what's going on in the world. And teachers depend on technology to help make their lessons more efficient and easier to understand. These are only a few examples of how we depend on technology. We would all be lost without it. Technology is rapidly becoming smaller and faster. As we continue to make advances in technology we only become more dependent. Would you rather search through a dictionary to find the meaning of a word or just type it in on dictionary.com and have the answer within seconds? The answer is obvious. Technology has made things so much easier for us and that is why we've become so dependent on it. Time is of the essence nowadays and if you have a paper or report due you're going to type it rather than hand write it. It's the more efficient way. Overall, our dependence on technology will not change.
