In this article the author John M. Grohol, PsyD, believes that the way people rely on technology is a bad thing. He wrote this article to inform people of humans growing relience on modern technology to put a stop to it so we can go back to our old ways.
This article reminded of an article I read read earlier about how technology is making us lazy because Grohol gave an example of the stockmarket and how it will be completely automated soon. This makes me wonder whether or not making people lazy is just a form of it being bad.
There was also a lot of conflicting evidence. "Computers are great, don’t get me wrong. They are wonderful tools that help many simplify their life, get more information, and in the end, hopefully make better, more informed decisions." There are many spots where he talks about how good computers are. This may mean that either he can't make up his mind or technology can't be that bad.
