Is our reliance on technology too big? I personally think that technology is an amazing thing that has opened so many new doors for us, it has let us travel at incredible speeds, given us the ability to talk to someone across the globe no matter where you are, and it has simply made our lives longer. Technology has done so much for us, and it is getting so advanced that instead of helping us, it is becoming us. I know this sounds a little crazy but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. We are becoming reliant on technology, we are dependent on it now, and we are always in front of the TV, computer, or our cell phones. It has taken over every aspect of our lives, and almost everything we do is using technology.The fact is that technology might be crippling us, things like twitter could actually be lowering our social skills, and things as simple as an everyday calculator may be taking away our ability to do math without it. Technology is a good thing, but we do need to control it and the way we use it, we can let it become part of us, it’s just not healthy. If we become too reliant on machines, what will we do if they are suddenly taken away, I don’t think that we would all be able to survive in the wild, it would just be impossible. We have lost many of our natural skills because of technology, but we are getting new ones, the people a couple of centuries ago all knew how to hunt, and now we all know how to play video games or use the internet. It’s crazy how much our society is changing because of technology. We shouldn’t take it away because it is an amazing thing, but it is like everything else, too much anything isn’t good.

Yes we're too addicted to technology and we'd be lost without it, but we are a forever advancing species. We have to ability to become better so that's what we instantly do. We all do things to just try and make our lives easier pretty much. If we always stopped using things when we use them too much, what's the point? People back then could have gotten to used to hunting with guns and knives; they forgot tam work or how to hunt with their hands. It's applicable to anything. The only thing I might fear is if someone got the ability to be able to control technology in full or power of the internet. That would be world conquering power for the most part.
