Technology taking over society.
Although technology has helped in many ways to make life easier, people’s mind
has become over dependent on software and devices. Their brains are being rewired
and fail to see that men cannot be replaced with machines. There is an innate need to
communicate and interact with others, but people take out more of the devices then
just the simple thing of being a tool. As the generations have altered, the technology
has too. The technology is being built to underestimate mankind and has overtaken
society.
