Prisoners of Technology?

I believe in a sense we are prisoners of our own ingenuity. The development of new technologies for the purpose of 'convenience' has created a culture of necessity. Through the creation of technology we have the ability to manufacture products at a much more efficient and quality level than ever before but what else have we created. Our advancements have also created a culture that can no longer survive without the technology. As we progress further and further into the future our dependency on technology will only increase and as such will our submission to it.
