Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.

People (influence) to become technology addicted. One survey reported that "addicted" was the word most commonly used by people (describe) their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time (resist) the temptation of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.

The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. I see people (trap)in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-consuming technology,they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude(奴役). I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence  uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.

What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what we need to ask  if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about the use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that "too much of a good thing is wonderful."  it's time to discover today's overused technology.

Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that "we can be swept away by our technologies," To break the grand digital connection, people must consider life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology.
