Obviously technology has some great benefits, but are you truly better off because of technology? Is your life actually that much better? Or has technology fragmented our lives? We can connect with anyone in the world, but do you feel any less alone? Any more secure? Any happier because of technology?

for me, i think it does with but's. everything has its advantage and disadvantage and that you should always consider. yes there is a great improvement with the advancement of technology but they resulted to threats. Remember the invention of personal mobile phone, when it uses technology like having a camera on it. it became a tool to invade our privacy with wrong doings.

I think you're right. For every benefit, there's a downside too. I appreciate the thoughtful comment!

I guess where I'm going with this is -- do the benefits outweigh the negatives?
