Relying on Technology

In today’s day and age, technology is everywhere around us. We use technology in almost everything now. We have our cell phones, laptop computers, portable music players, even electronic cash registers. We as a people have come to rely on this technology for some of the most mundane tasks. One of these things we don’t do for ourselves anymore is in getting directions and traveling. No longer do people get directions from actual other people, or from a map. Now, we just punch an address into our navigation systems we have installed in our cars. Once we have done that, we just blindly follow where it tells us to go. It's my belief that this is having a negative effect on our society.
