People have become overly dependent on technology There is an easily identifiable relationship between the 21st century and technology. Currently, technology is adopted to perform certain tasks such as entertainment, communication, research, workforce, and transportation purposes. Some people are not addicted to technology while others are. Some people hate using technology in everything they do, while others prefer using technology on an hourly basis. Therefore, technology has become one of the contemporary topics available for heated debate by technology critics. The question is, “have people become overly dependent on technology?” Yes, I support the argument by saying that, in fact, people have become more focused on using technology. Currently, changes in modernization have influenced the excessive reliance on the use of technology for various purposes. People start embracing technology from the moment they get out of bed. This is called “awakened” by technology. People no longer use their circadian cycles to estimate time. Alarm gadgets are everywhere to wake them up. Others have even designed pillows including alarm devices. Over-reliance on alarm technology has adversely affected some people such that they cannot wake up without the help of alarm gadgets. Their minds have been configured with alarms. The effects of this habit are that students and workers risk arriving late for school and work when alarm devices become faulty. Culturally, reading is the best habit that enlightens the mind. In this case, “reading” means browsing print media such as books, novels, and newspapers. However, print media is in decline.

Communication via post was effective, highly individual and secure. In contrast, communicating on the Internet does not guarantee security due to hacking activities and exposure on social media platforms. In conclusion, I am forced to say that technology is good for modern man. Globalization, advancements in business, and the adoption of all means of modernity depend on technology to thrive. However, technology should not completely replace the use of common sense and normal mental reasoning. People should not be blindfolded by technology to prevent the negative consequences of the habit. As much as we should embrace technology, taking care of it should be a priority to avoid being overwhelmed by events.
