RE: Could Technology be Our New Drug?
Technology is already a drug for us, just imagine a world withoute phones and internet, and those too are just the most commun technologies that we use, I am not talking about the community of gamers who play for a long time, and the use of technologys in our cars, in adittion to the rise of people investing in the cryptocurrencies now that is based on the blockchain technology. So how could we say that technology could be a drug for us in the future ? Also If I want to describe the fact that we use technologys a lot I will not discribe it as a drug but a neccesity and a new way to do things .
I appreciate your comment. There are still people who do not rely on technology such as the older generation. They weren’t born into technology so it’s still new whereas everyone born 80s onward has lived with a lot of technology. So when I say technology could be a new drug I’m speaking on a mass level in the future when every generation has no choice but to use technology. And a drug is anything we become addicted too that has the ability to affect our motivations and actions. There are already new mental and physical disabilities erupting from our over use of technology. The fact that most people freak out when they forget their phone or when they can’t access access the convenience of technology shows that we have created a codependence for it. So like you said it is already a drug but in time it will become the hugest drug of all.
