The Wired Hub Do you think we're too dependent on technology these days?

[Penny]

Do you think we're too dependent on technology these days or is it actually making our lives better?

For me ..It's kind of a mixed bag honestly. On one hand we can connect with anyone instantly and access information in seconds which is amazing. But on the other hand people barely talk face-to-face anymore and everyone's glued to their screens. Are we losing important skills and real human connections or is all this tech genuinely helping us stay more connected and informed? What do you think?

 

[Megan]

Oh yeah probably. I mean I know I spend too much time on stuff. A lot of other people are probably similar.

 

[Demon_skeith]

Oh without a doubt, the whole world does but I feel like we can't go back.

 

[Mr.Green]

Yes, we are too depended on technology. Today, we cannot even grow food without technology. We cannot travel without navigation apps, some people even cannot sleep without technology, they need their mobile to play white noise.

 

[Krissycakes09]

I do think we are but what would we do without it?

 

[Shawn]

Many people are especially young people who are born with it.

Those are the people I worry about the most.

If tech melted down and quit working right now, I can survive. I survived without it before. I know what to expect.

A lot of younger people have no skills outside of tech. Many wouldn't make it.

 

[The Jason]

People are glued to screens because they are bored. But people were bored for years before the internet, computers and cellphones.

 

[safeinsanity]

Yes, because we get bored real quick without it.
