Is technology going too far?

The discussion that we had during our last class made me think if technology is getting out of hand. The thought of having a single device that could be your everything--mp3, phone, camera, Internet source, etc freaks me out. Also, I thought it is insane that there are flexible LCD screens out there because I didn't even know they were possible to make. I wonder how popular these LCD screens will become and also want to know what they would be used for.

After learning so much about new technology thats developing I feel that it can definitely make our generation "dumb". We depend and rely on technology so much that it has made a lot of us lazy. Most people I know do not try to learn and memorize information but instead just look up the information when they need it.

If technology keeps developing so much, I feel that it will continue to make people lazier. I hope that at some point we wont continue to develop our technology. I would miss a lot of the traditional ways of living and hope that we can hold on to some of them.
