Is technology taking over our lives?

Responding to Avani Karadkhedkar’s question, “will there be a time somewhere in the future that human interaction will decrease?” I think there will be a time that technology causes a disconnection between all people.

In today’s generation, there are more people texting than having conversations in person. It looks like more and more people are moving away from face-to-face interactions to technology-based communications. Looking at the trend of this generation, I do not think the next generations are going to stop using technology as their conversation tools.

Since mobile devices have become part of everyone’s life, without it gives people mental distress and confusion. In a recent survey, 54% of the respondents said they would pick up the phone while eating dinner and 57% said they would answer the phone while going to the washroom.

Like Avani mentioned technology is an addictionwhich is similar to drug cravings. People really need to stop relying on technology to do everything for them and not let itdominate them.
