Is Society Too Dependent On Technology?
Just think, what would happen if your computer, iPad or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it? If thinking about these incidences makes you stressed, you are not alone.
Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is huge. If you happen to work in offices you may be familiar with this trend. Anyway, it's true. How can work continue if it's hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices.
Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no longer there. Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone. Technology has taken all their time.
Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so huge that doctors have recommended for "technology detox". If not, according to Oxford Dictionary, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc., as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.
Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.
A. Perhaps you may have heard of it.
B. We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.
C. If the Internet is down, all the tasks are over for the day.

E. Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology.
F. Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology.
G. Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories.
