Human Dependence On Technology

Technology is what us, human depends depend on for our survival. Creativity is what invents technology and also further advance the technology, and communication is what made us be human. However all of those combines do not make any sense because it seems like technology had limited our creativity and communication. This leads to people asking a question: do people’s dependence on technology has affected creativity and communication, specifically, either in a good or bad way? Let’s get straight to the point: Technology is a double edge. Despite of our over dependence on technology, generally it still has positive effects on creativity but devastating effect on our communication between humans, depending on which aspect we are talking about.

It is because our creativity improves as we know more regarding this world we live in. This idea can also be apply towards our dependence on technology. We are overly dependent on technology, thus we must get more for our survival and more comfortable life but automating everything. Therefore we must be more creative and comes out with idea for how to do that.

In regards of communication, our technology affects it in both a positive way but also completely devastated it depends on which aspect we are talking about. Technology allows long range communication to be possible. Without Internet we might be still live in a dark age at which propagation of information is still impossible.
