I don't believe it is a win or lose situation. There are so many positive and productive things technology has enabled us to do it would not be fair to label it a losing situation. I would, however, classify it a difficult balancing act. How do we, as a culture and individuals, enjoy the convenience of technology without losing our identity to it. How did we ever communicate before Facebook and Twitter. My children have never known life without email, cell phones or video games. How does that shape their world to be different than mine? And ultimately, where do we draw the line? When is it too much? Will there come a day when we will say enough is enough and get rid of technology?
Like so many things it is tough, if not impossible, to go back once a threshold has been crossed. The challenge becomes one of balance instead of resistance. We can no longer ignore the necessities of technology so we must learn to balance our dependence on it.
