We end up serving it, bowing to its every whim. Instead of spending all of that free time with the kids or walking the dog we can be found drooling in front of the screen. Each morning on the way to work we give our attention to the radio in our car. Instead of walking we drive everywhere. Feet were designed to push the gas pedal on a, hands were made for holding cell phones and ears were made for listening to them.
Fingers are for typing and clicking the buttons on a mouse.
Attractive as technology may seem, we are fast forgetting how to do things for ourselves. As logon times shrink, so do attention spans. But don't count on it. My father once told me that I was going to have to accept technology or be left behind. So I have.
