An over use of technology is bad. But let's say someone just answering their cell phone, or doing a quick equation on their calculator, or checking their e-mail on their computer, or palm-pilot. That isn't bad at all. But when it comes to the point where somebody stays on their computer day and night just to "p00n sum n00b5 nd rais ma rnk 2 numba 1 in teh servr, lolz" then I don't think that is healthy for anyone.

Well what happened to using your brain to do equations, thats a drawback of technology. Also what happed to sending mail, another drawback for technology it makes people lazy.

That may be true, but look at the math programs in school now. Even let's say grade 7-8. Most of the questions you would need a calculator. And mail takes a lot longer, what if you have a friend/relative in China? Could take a long time for the letter to be delivered, but you could just send a letter in 2 minutes with the click of a button. Let's use a better example, a doctor is on his lunch break, no one knows where he is for lunch, a sick patient comes in with a terrible illness, or maybe a horrific injury, could die soon, what would you do, go out and look for the doctor, wherever he is, wait for him to get back, or just call him or page him so he gets there sooner, preventing the patients death? Now tell me that technology is bad, when it saves lives.

1. People teck. is not just the comp.
2. If we reliy on teck like the comp 2 much then we wuld be in a very bad spot if the internet crashed.
3. with out some of the teck we hwve now the world wuld be a very crude and harsh place. People without teck can't be called humans. Teck is what is keeping us alive right now.

Ok I think the problem is that to me technology are devices (like computers,tvs,cell phones etc.). However I don't really count "tools" as technology same for as me not counting writing utensils as technology.

The ancient or old people mostly didn't live to a very long age. And the reason some did was because they were lucky enough to not be struck by an illness that needed technology to heal. If it weren't for technology I wouldn't be alive now, I have had to go to the E.R. plenty of times, most of the time I had to be hooked up to an I.V. or had to have an oxygen mask on. Well I.V.s run on technology, and you may not think so, but so do modern oxygen masks, which kept me alive for weeks at a time. So this may be biased, but since it's the reason I'm alive now, I'm strongly pulled towards no, technology is not a bad thing.

technology definataly has quite some pro's but if you examine the cons technology has driven people crazy i mean as soon as people get out of school they talk on their phones which can cause cancer and very high uses of electricity.

That's a theory, I do believe that still hasn't been proven.

However, a lot of these technologies have draw-backs. Computers, television and game consoles have become increasingly more common in households and popularity, but because of consistent usage, obesity rates, other health problems and severe addictions (mainly computer games) have and will lead to premature s and unwanted problems. It has also lead to a certain laziness among people and a reliance on technology for our everyday needs.

I believe that technology is good when used in moderation and when we don't become too dependent on doing things "the easy way" with the aid of technology. However, when it is constantly used, (for everything including work, entertainment) I think it certainly creates an unbalanced lifestyle which may lead to future set-backs.

Well as you said every technology has drawbacks so wouldn't it be for the "Greater Good" to remove all technology?

I believe many things have their draw-backs, but that doesn't mean that technology should be removed.

Even if we take advantige of a cell phone think about how it's help full. Let's say your driveing your car then all of a suden you lose controle and wind up stuck in the forest. The cell phone still work's so you call for help. If you didant have the cell phone then you wuld have eather wated a weak till some one find's out that your missing or start walking back.

Basically by saying technology is bad, you're saying I should be dead, as I would be without all the technology used in hospitals.

In the civial war of america we did horibul thing's to heal. In most cases if you were shot in the arm or leg it was choped off. If you were shot in the chest you were left for dead. If you were dieing slowly you shot yourself. If they tryed to save your arm or leg they will remove the bullet from you be giveing you a shot of wisky and a peace of wood to bite on before they pulled it out. and that's how Ancient people used to heal. O and if you had a pain in the head the right thing to do was drill out a part of your skull. And let's not forget bleading. pale

Not all did. The ones that lived a healthy life were lucky enough to not be struck with diseases or sicknesses, like cancer, because if they were, they would die pretty quickly, because there wasn't the correct technology to keep them alive.
