Why Reliance on Technology is a Bad Thing
This topic is interesting for me because it hits close to home. I believe the topic is really relevant and pressing today. I liked the sense of realism the author portrays to you while reading it. The author uses examples like “Imagine a power outage… The kind that brought an entire coast of our country grinding to a halt”. He signifies how in today’s age it would be almost impossible to live in a power outage for any extended periods of time or when our fossil fuels run out. He claims that 50 years ago engineers, stock traders, and designers would be able to continue their profession rather than it being crippled as it would in today’s technological society. personally connected to this article because I used to rely on technology for everything and would not be able to put it down. It became more of a necessity for me rather than a tool. In a power outage that we experienced it felt impossible to continue when my devices died. When I stepped back and started thinking of it as a tool again I was able to continue without it. I can now read books and practice music without feeling unbearably bored.
