Technology as the Bending Stick By Justin Elsey
Domestication by Humans • Throughout history, humans have domesticated nearly everything we could get our hands on.
Dependency on Technology • Technology introduces new ways to find information and view the world, yet unfortunately it numbs the connection with it.
Misconceptions of Technology • Forms of technology are not limited to merely electronic devices as often misconstrued today.
The Introduction to Technology • Technology such as cells phones are being introduced as younger and younger ages.
The Grasp of Technology • Technology lures us into its grasp with promises of productivity and innovation, yet it is mostly used in unproductive actions.
Effects on the Environment • Dependency on technology is the root of most environmental issues.
Transformation from Dependent to Independent • We must use our gift of intelligence to use technology appropriately.
Causes of Dependency • Humans have a tendency to take the path of least resistance, Human Behaviour and the Principle of Least Effort: An Introduction to Human Ecology, by George Kingsley Zipf.
The Natural Laziness • Laziness is a natural adaptation by us to conserve as much energy as possible.
Taking Tech for Granted • Our generation tends to forget about the time where technology we have today did not exist.
Appreciation • We should learn how to appreciate the resources we take for granted.
Foreseeable Future • Without changing our mentality, the future could hold circumstances that become increasingly uninhabitable
It’s Our Responsibility • We only get one world, so we should do our best to preserve it.
Technology as Tools • The technology should be used as tools, not the overused walking sticks.
Let It Be • Our species needs to change our mentality of the world and stop domestication at our current exponential rate.
Independence is the Ultimate Goal • Achieving true independence from all that holds us back will be harder than it seems. • or
