What is technology dependence?

Technology dependence is essentially the fact that in today’s world we rely on technology for so many things. To think of a world without computers, TV’s, cell phones, or even iPods is just insane. It is almost scary. So many businesses and corporations depend on computers and other forms of technology for a large number of reasons. Without television it would be very difficult for people to stay in touch with modern culture, entertainment, and news. The world has greatly evolved from many years ago. I truly believe that we would not be able to survive without much of the technology that we have today. Sure, some may not be necessity and just serves us for enjoyment purposes. However, modern advancements show that many different technological inventions are depended on for some of the most important things one can imagine.

I know that I, myself, rely on much of the technology that I own. Without a computer I couldn’t do almost any of my homework, I wouldn’t know nearly as much information about the world around us, and I wouldn’t necessarily be able to keep in touch with many people. I am just as dependent on my cell phone. There are so many instances I can think of that if I didn’t have a cell phone on me, I would have been in some seriously bad or dangerous situations. Technology dependence is just something that we live with every day. Luckily for us, it only gets more and more advanced from here. There is no moving backward when it comes to technology.
