I don't see a problem with using technology to make life easier, to help us live longer and happier lives. Using technology to help us do mundane physical tasks simply gives us more time to use our brains.

nothing useful in the search for knowledge, in creating art,  in the search for truth. You're right, technology is only good for making and playing video games.

well, if you do a (brainstorm).. with negative and positive sides of technology i think the negative sides will be 4 or 5 times more than positive ones.

Well, I guess we disagree on the benefits of technology. Do you think your life would be better without it? If so, do you plan to give up some technology to improve your life? 

 

Would computers and internet access be something you would give up? What else do you think you would want to live without? Electricity? Antibiotics? Clocks? Calendars? The wheel? Fire? Pointed Sticks?

  i gree  that you can live without thoes  things

and i agree that technology has always positive and make  life better
But   how to use which  decide  positive or
Negative 

 if a person always  spend   most  the time  on    sms  why  he  blam tv/ pc/ pohone

    how  can  i be sure  if someone is ok while he she   is  far  from me without phone  ?

if someone his her life    in risk how   can he she  we  deal so  fast ?

     
how  about  information and guide service  and  Bookings
 
and  the Internet is   a world that more bigger  than  where you live
and  if you add to the your world you can
To develop information for you at high speed  
And keep to the time remaining  
Medicines and vaccines …
With the progress we are able to face most diseases that we can not be overcome in the past

Hi everybody! Technology doesn't seem to be responsible for human being bad behaviour. It's just a mean to ease our daily life: we use it to travel virtually, we have virtual library, we share informations through technology; Technology is used in the medical field. It's a practical thing human being can shape according to the colour of his feelings. It's a part of our evolution, it's difficult now to do without it. Apart this, I have to tell that I had understood "time to leave our comfort zone" in a psychological way. Like to go beyond our fear.

Memo, I honestly hope you don't get sick if you choose to live without modern medical advances. Personally, I would rather not go back to a time when human life expectancy was under 30 years. 

 

I am guessing though, that you do NOT live without these things. At the very least you take advantage of electricity, computer and communications technology (unless you found some other way to post here) 

 

It seems like you feel that your life would be better without all these things. Have you considered actually doing it?
