Ok in my opinion technology is good and helps with day to day lives. (Communication etc) But lately im not sure what technology has done to us. It has just made us more lazy. Basically we have gone from doing 90% of the stuff you need to do has shortened down to 10%. Sure i know most of you are going to say it's great. (you're on a computer right?) But think about it is technology really that great.
By technology I assume you mean electronics? A wheel is a form of technology.
Anyway, electronics. Overall, electronics are good. We have become a lot more productive, have better health (not obesity-wise), and everyday tasks require much less labor.
I don't think technology is the problem with obesity, I think we are. Just because some people don't exercise and are irresponsible when it comes to electronics doesn't mean electronics are a bad thing.
I also think food and the type of food made is a contributing factor. Our foods are filled with a grater amount of unhealthy substances now than ever.
If people would show some responsibility by exercising and eating right we would be much better off.
There is new technology that interacts with your brain. It's in an early stage of delelopment and surgery is required at the moment. This will in the near future be marketed for video games. They say it will be ready 5 years from now, although it's probable this will happen in the next 10 years. This is not only recreational, but a new way for the mentally disabled to connect to the world. No doubt a percentage of us will become inactive in the process.

Yes, yes it is that great. So long as we have it. Without it, we're dam* well screwed. We'll survive, yes we will, be our lives will be miserable for quite a while.
But it won't go away. Nothing except the annihilation of the human race will make it go away.
People have always been afraid that we will become too reliant on technology. They prully thought the printing press would make people stupid because they dont need to remember everything any more they can just read a book. And the ability to create fire. We dont need to have a dude watch over the fire all the time we can just make a new one.
This is what human is. take away our stuff (everything from clothing to fire to computers) and we are pretty much dead.
