How Technology is Transforming Our Lives

I think this metaphor is genius. Whether most people realize it or not, the correlation between age and the level of technology integrated in our lives has so many more correlations like our addictions levels to the technology, an opposing level of communication in our new generations, and a decrease in kids participating in what was considered normal daily activities like playing outside. It is ironic because the more access we as humans were given to technology, in a suttle way, we thought we were being given freedom, but were completely blind to how much of a prisoner we have become to it as well. With everything at our fingertips, no one puts in the same care to memorize or truly understand topics thoroughly in the education process because we can either just look it up or chegg the answers. If we want to find out the weather, we do not even have to leave our bed. 

The question I ask myself constantly is if technology was removed today, would some people be incapable of transitioning back to the old ways and would that actually have a better impact on the people that could change.
