We are too reliant on technology (not that anyone cares)

Are we too reliant on technology?

Yes.

I suppose I need 380 more words, so I guess I’ll elaborate more on this. You see, I’m using technology right now to type this blog, and I’m pretty sure you used technology to type the prompt for this assignment as well. You could’ve written it on the board and have us write it down and turn it in, but because we are so dependent on technology neither of those things happened.

Last time I went 24 hours without technology? Hm. Must’ve been when I was like 5, 6, 7 or some young age when I could barely speak English and only cared about play-doh and butterflies. I’ve used technology for most of my life and I don’t plan on changing it. Or maybe it was when I had my wisdom teeth pulled and couldn’t do crap and felt like crap for an overall crappy experience. Probably not, since I usually played video games and drank my tears since I couldn’t open my mouth very much and it was much easier than getting up for water. Needless to say, technology is important in my life and my life sucks without it.

First thing I did that involved technology this morning? Well, I turned off my phone’s annoying alarm then checked the time. I then managed to get on my laptop for no reason whatsoever and do something I already forgot. How early? If you really want to know, it was around seven or six or eight or something like that. I don’t really make it a habit to check the time whenever I wake up unless I’m late to class or decide to eat my dining hall’s nasty breakfast.

>ignoring third question<

Using technology for medical reasons? I’m pretty sure doctors use their technology for medical reasons, but knowing how incompetent and useless most of them are, it probably doesn’t mean much of anything. Sometimes I google symptoms they have and end up with ridiculous results like “you have brain cancer” if I’m just sneezing. It’s amazing how much the symptoms of the common cold resemble every disastrous disease and virus out there, geez.  I guess if you want a serious answer, my grandpa has a breathing machine so he doesn’t die and my cousin uses a back massage giving device to soothe her scoliosis. I don’t know of anyone else who uses technology for any useful purposes whatsoever so let’s just leave it at that.

Rereading this garbage, I didn’t talk at all about why we’re too reliant on technology. People use cell phones and don’t really talk to each face-to-face, lots of classes are switching to technology to teach, it’s making us lazy by having google to answer everything (have you ever seen someone google something stupid like “is asia a country?” Ugh.) and I’m already bored of typing this so that’s the best you’re gonna get outta me.

There’s my 400+ words read ‘em and give me a good grade, please.
