Are we freakin' slaves to technology?

The Scream: Really is that what technology is doing to us?

So, just browsing the smh.com.au as a nice handy source of information, well mostly headlines actually and this one pops up. "How to stop being a slave to technology" Well the article it self doesn't seem to be a quick how to guide, there's no step 1 step 2 as a starting point. It's just a series of quotes from some various authors. The main one mentioned is Mark Pesce who just makes a series of observations which may all well be true. But the title, the title of the article would suggest it should be about "how to!"


It's pretty obvious really step 1, turn off your gadget, step 2 sleep do something else.  Yeah I think they mentioned that point, but not until the end of the article! Technology is just a tool really, what ever, yeah people might get a bit carried away sometimes, but eventually the novelty wears off. So just sit back and freakin' calm down! puhlease! just chill freak down.
