Necessity or dependence?

There is no day that that we do not use any technology like computer, mobile phone, television, mp3, and things like that.

In my view, we are so dependent from all these new technologies. Few months ago we could saw this dependence with the historical snowfall here, in Catalonia. A lot of places around the zone did not have electricity, we have been cut off from the rest of villages and we could not move from our houses.

With this blackout we could improve that we cannot live without mobile phones, computers, and specially, electricity, that is the same say, new technologies.

Moreover, if one day we miss our mobile phone in any place, and we usual use it every day, will be difficult for us spend one day without it, so it means that live without all these comforts make our life harder. By the way that they made easier our life with their appearance, their disappearance make our life harder again.

To sum up, I would like to say that we have to decrease our use of all these new technologies. Although is hard to get out of the habit, we have to try it, because nowadays we are living as if our life had been molded by them. Think about that: is necessity or dependence? I think we are so far from necessity, we are abusing a lot of new technologies.
