Man has become very dependent on technology. Without it, daily life would be difficult. Life would be peaceful if we didn't have machines running people's lives. Dependence on technology is harmful to humanity and will ultimately lead to many dilemmas in the future. In this generation, humanity has become extremely dependent on technology. Not a day goes by when people aren't talking on cell phones, driving a car, or using some type of machine. Technology has completely taken over people's lives and they don't even realize it. The daily use of automobiles, television, and cellular devices has left humans with unhealthy bodies and put them at risk for serious health problems. This is all due to poor physical activity and the mass production of unnatural food sources. Humans worked to provide a meal every day. If they wanted biscuits, they “[had] to light a wood-fired oven and prepare the dough. from scratch. Nowadays, they "jump in [a] car and head to the nearest convenience store — [and] if that's too much effort, [they] pick up a phone or get online and have the [items] delivered ] at [their ] door.” (Lemonick 58-69) Technology has not only taken away the willpower from humans to produce their own food, but it constantly advertises unhealthy food to them. This has increased the obesity rate much more top. Everyone watches television, so people have seen how “technology has allowed advertisers to send constant, virtually irresistible messages that say: Eat this now, to anyone old enough to watch television.” mass of these unhealthy foods, advertised to the people, is cheap and convenient for the producers. People's health will continue to deteriorate due to the incessant use of machines...... middle of the document ......010, vol. 40 Number 1: p 34-43. EBSCOhost. May 2, 2010.
