Are We Becoming a Computer Dependent Society?

9/25/2015

 
For the past several days, I have been without a computer (my computer went kaput). Well, I put the computer in the shop for repairing. Of course, because my computer is glued to my hip when it comes to writing, and it was going to take a little time for repairing, I immediately purchased another. Especially, because I tried using my phone which was semi-okay, smaller keys sometimes made it rather cumbersome, and writing manually for me is sometimes inefficient (everything written has to be reentered into the computer, slightly impatient with redundancy). Hmmm... I thought, whenever I call customer service about anything be it products for sale, insurance, flight questions, business, etc. and I'm asked to wait, call back, or put on hold because the computer is not processing or slowly processing or get a message on the computer that the computer Is temporarily down for maintenance and I can't access anything, I concluded that maybe we are becoming a computer dependent society. Will we become like the humans in H.G. Wells, "The Time Machine," thoughtless, incapable of performing or thinking because someone or something does it for us? Hmmmm, I ponder. What do you think?
