What would I do without my computer or my tablet? Though I use technology all the time, I try not to become attached to it so I have to say "dude I CANNOT live without my ipod." Material possessions like that are nice, but not necessary or all that precious.
I think we're way behind with technology, personally. This is the twenty-first century, man. Where are my flying cars and laser beam guns? Where's my vacation to Mars?
Instead of doing anything important with our technology (ie, space travel, gathering the most efficient environmentally-friendly renewable energies, saving lives) we're obsessed with putting as much memory as we can on an iPod.
I don't like the idea of living without technology, but I definitely don't like the idea of becoming so reliable on it that if anything crashes or goes wrong we'll all die, or something. Technology has got us to amazing places, sure, but it's also set us back. It's not the technology that does this, though, it's the humans who possess it.
Gotta love me some technology though. It's actually pretty amazing how much it's advanced over the years. From traveling across the globe to traveling across the galaxy (well we're not quite there yet).
I wish I was born way later in the world, so people would be colonizing on different planets in different solar systems and suchandsuch, or maybe I just read way too many Isaac Asimov novels.
So yeah. Technology is awesome, but you're not the technology you own.
