Does technology make us dependent ?
The old saying goes "too much of a good thing…" (cato)
Technology has spread extravagantly over the course of the past 10 years .
Before that , there was no wireless , personal computers , mobile phones, iphones .
Technology has become so integrated into people 's daily lives that it has made them dependent.
They are no longer able to live happily , do tasks efficiently or communicate with each other , or even think for themselves without it .

-Supporters of technology claim that technology has made life easier and thus independent and happy .
For example the ability to be in contact with everyone due to the social media phenomena such as : (facebook , myspace , twiter . ) and also to get information and satisfy needs by the click of a button is mainly due to technological devices
However technology does not necessarily make people happy , having an easier life with minimum human interference and effort does not equate to being happy .
Time spent keeping in contact through technology from a distance is a time wasted on not building real human relationships and interacting with loved ones , people grow isolated and depressed as a result of dealing with each other through machines for a long period of time , so instead of being independent people become dependent but on machines ! (Volpi D.2012)
-some people claim that technology helps them multitask and keep matters in order for instance , one could chat using a cell phone while cooking or reading a book.
However technological devices emit an (electromagnetic field) which contains electrical signals , those signals are the same ones emitted by the brain to send and receive signals form the rest of the body 's ' organs and nerves , when that field penetrates the brain it causes a general state of confusion and disorientation , constant exposure has been linked to some illnesses such as : chronic fatigue syndrome , lower Iq in children , hormone imbalance , depression and cancer (carlo as cited in Raymond))
Multi-tasking becomes harder when the brain is extremely overwhelmed and tasks do not get achieved as efficiently as they should .

Some people say that technology has cause information to spread and helped them gain multiple insights on several matters ; Although it is also said that this has promoted several issues such as : 1) Plagiarism : where people take other people 's effort without giving proper credits and without putting any effort themselves .
2) too much dependency on the easily found information : people no longer bother to see facts beyond facts , once a searched information is found it is take as it is with no further argument , some people feel as if there is no need to further research it and add their own conclusions because " It has all been one before " as commonly said .
3)information has become (under valued): information has become too easy to be found that , searchers do not place a high value on it any longer , if one information is found or lost it does not matter because it came the easy way.

Following the extreme always has bad consequences , relying on technology too much has made people take life for granted and by doing so they have lost the simple pleasure in life such as : human communication and the good feeling which usually accompanies doing a task from start to finish .
People have become so pressured to do things fast in our rapidly growing world due to technological advancements so much that they now have no personal connection with what they do after their task finishes , technology has sociological as well as psychological and physiological effects , if used extravagantly it can promote dependency instead on independency , as people become more isolated and can not do anything without the help of technological instruments anymore .
