I'm really not convinced

The daily news had a story from gartner about technology trends, one of the top 10 items was "Human Augmentation" It reckons this is using technology to help humans but: - from the title (my initial guess before reading the description) - but even more-so from real life I really think gartner has that bass-ackwards. OIOW: hands up anyone else finds themselves an extention a slave to technology

Well, I make my living using technology. All my hobbies involve technology (although I guess I could go out for a walk or read a book). Of course when I finish that book I need technology to buy a new one (which was also created using technology). The technology I need was created using different technologies. Technology keeps my food and drinks cold or frozen and it's technology that helps me prepare it. Winter is coming and even though it's still 20+ C inside the house I do sometimes have the heater on on a cold day which is, you guessed it, more technology. I could go on for a while, but you get the idea. It's probably not what you (or Gartner) meant, but I'm going to put both my hands and feet up into the air :laugh:

We all surrounded with technology... The question is what you are doing when that technology stops working? Where is your breaking point? If a broken phone paralyzes you, you are enslaved... If you starting to panic when the washing machine flooding the flat, you are only overreacting... A heating refrigerator will freak out almost anyone...

My sister was once asked by a ten year-old pupil: "Miss, did they have technology when you were young?" She told him that she's have to search her memory banks and get back to him.

I suspect (hope even) that you don't go for a walk without clothes; so you're you're probably even more dependent on technology than you realise! :)

Without technology we couldn't exist as we do.
