Your Relationship To Technology: Winning Or Losing?
How would you describe your relationship to technology? Can’t live with it and can’t live without it? Hate it? Love it? Indifferent and resigned to it? Heidi and Alvin Toffler famously said in their book, “Future Shock,” that “Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible.”
I often hear people complaining about the time that technology requires – accompanying by an expressed longing (sincere or not) for a simpler time when there were more limited options for technology.
How tied are you to email? To your PDA? Your DVR? Your HBO? Your mobile phone? Texting? Voice recognition? Google and / or other search engines?
How do you feel about technologies’ increasingly begatting new technologies? Is your life richer or poorer as a net result of technological advances over the last ten years? (Remember, Google is barely ten years old).
