Introduction To explore the human dependence on technology in the essay, I will start with the basics. Human beings are creatures with the ability to solve problems by creating physical solutions. That is why people came up with technologies to depend on. Technology refers to the use and knowledge of techniques, tools and systems to solve problems. It is also used to serve other specific purposes to the extent that it has become a part of our society. People develop and rely on various technologies for many reasons. However, what is disturbing is that technology has made us overly dependent on its existence. We have become lazy, as electronics tend to replace human resources. So, do we rely on technology too much? This essay argues that electronics are very helpful and handy except when people misuse them. Overdependence on Technology People have become overly dependent on technology making them more of consumers than innovators. They are not creative and are not willing to do simple physical activities. People and technology Most people agree that technology in itself is not bad only that we sometimes misuse it. Technology has made life more comfortable and easy. For example, food products that are easily perishable when put under normal conditions can now stay longer as a result of modern technology. Besides, time used to prepare food has been greatly reduced thanks to new machines as well as equipment. On the communication front, great advancements have been made that allows people to communicate, do business, distribute information and access information instantly in their living rooms or wherever they are. We now live in a global community due to technology. It has also improved healthcare through the modern machines, equipment and medicine. Mortality rates have gone down in most countries of the world due availability of vaccines and modern treatment forms. In the industrial sector, modern machines that improve efficiency have been developed and this has improved productivity. Generally, technology has greatly changed the world (Laura 3). Despite the good things that technology has enabled us achieve, it has developed in us one major disease which is overdependence on it. Most people argue that technology helps as save productivity time and that we are now able to do jobs that were considered difficult and risky doing manually (Laura 3). However, to a greater extent technology has induced laziness in us. Take an example of a pupil in an elementary school doing simple arithmetic. Pupils today are not even able to do simple additions without the use of a calculator. Today people have become so lazy that they can not even do simple spell checking; they have to use spell checking software. This means that technology is quickly reducing our ability to think. We are becoming more of consumers than innovators and developers. We are leaving a few people to do the innovations while we wait to purchase and use. Overreliance on technology has immensely reduced our creativity as we have become too lazy to think. Although some people argue that technology provides inspiration as well as motivation to be more creative in jobs (Digital Trends Staff 4), the
