I find it hard to imagine a world without technology. Everything we do incorporates technology. What are we doing right now? We are using technology, to be more specific digital technology, to post or read this blog. Therefore, even the way we learn is dependent on it. Sometimes there is the option of separating ourselves from technology but, in the back of our minds, we know we have the comfort of returning to it. I see technology as a comfort because I feel we rely on it to keep us connected and informed. This is the definition of technology dependence.
Technology helps us connect with local events and worldwide events. Learning about the weather in our town or learning about the happenings in Europe, we are constantly informed. Without thinking, we turn on the television or computer and instantly expect a response to either of those. The printing technology, chemical technology, electronic technology, and digital technology have grown in order to provide us with these speedy services. The founders of the basic technologies, like the printing press or the image dissector, could not have known the impact it would have on the world.
