I think that technology has its advantages and disadvantages. But we live in a time when it is necessary for us. Remember the time when you had to write letters to someone in another country, and you could not see that person. Now that's a lot simpler, is not it? How about you? Can you imagine your life without technology?

I know that by 'technology', you mean the modern stuff like computers and phones and the Internet but actually 'technology' means simply the 'knowledge of craft' and so it all really began when man discovered tools. We should not have been able to kill and cut up animals for food without them and we would not have the brains we do without that extra and easily available protein (or, at least, that is what some scientists are now telling us).
Even writing letters to someone in another country involved a great deal of technology. Did you make the pen yourself out of a goose feather (you would have needed a knife to cut the nib to shape and for that you would have already discovered metal and the techniques needed to extract it from the ore and fashion it into a knife)? Think about making the ink and the paper! Then think of the vehicles and ships (and planes) needed to carry your letter to the other country!
I really can't imagine my life without technology and I don't suppose that humans could exist without it!

Commenting to sites such as MyLot is a hobby that's enjoyable and meaningful to me. So if the internet wasn't around, I wouldn't be able to comment to sites like this. That would be a bummer.

Technology today is the most powerful today because of it we do a lots important things, especially our phone, we use it to call or text someone we love easier and better, also we can video call them to see them, unlike before if we want to talk someone we need to write on a paper in submit it on the messenger.

It is almost impossible to live without technology these days.
But yes we can impose and follow restrictions on its usage.
And well an exception would be Mylot which I want to use without any restrictions!

I cannot imagine how I would go through daily routines without technology. As a baby boomer I could still remember those time when I have to use telex machines in sending out communication overseas, then the facsimile machines came in which made life easier until now that we can communicate through email. I struggled on wordstar and lotus 123 and symphony whereas now, with the MS WIndows work and school life is better. I used to scan pages of the encyclopedia when doing research work but with technology I do not have to carry tons of books. What's more interesting is when I do not have to save my files on a flash disk but just save them on cloud.
