Human Dependency to Tech and Machines

It has been 10 years since we entered the era of new millennium. We've seen a lot of developments in recent years. And destruction, so it seems. In my previous post, I wrote about why must human be lazy. This post, I'm gonna write about something that linked to the laziness.

Pardon my bad English. Though I teach people English, I still consider myself in learning process. English is my 3 rd language actually, standing behind my Malaysian (as mother tongue) and Javanese (culturally inherited, I'm basically a Javanese Malaysian comes from a Javanese cultural-based family).

The moment when human found fuel, they have become addicted to it ever since. When Henry Ford invented car, today, there are trillions of it on the road across the globe. When computer comes to life some times ago, it has been an important "friend" (friendly, also) to every single human on the earth nowadays. When internet emerged in the world of digital, it has created a phenomenon throughout the globe.

Ever since the very first technology and machine introduced to the world, human has become so addicted to them. Imagine the world today without technologies and machines. That shows our strong and tight dependency to techs and machines. We can't even live without either one of them. In fact, they made what our life now is.

What we can see now is our interactions with techs machines have become so essential and take a large part of our daily life, in which interactions rate between human is making very little decrement. We have become a tech-and-machine-addict generation, just like how drug addicts addicted to drugs.
