I, am, and all of you are, Tech dependant and most likely addicted. Technology in this case being used as a referrant to computational technology, having the amount of social media, sharing, and information we do with modern technology has made us dependant on technology, Socially as much as intellectually. Children are growing up to be ADD and Socially impaired because they live most of their social lives on the internet, where they can be their own Barbie doll; Looking, Thinking, and Communicating exactally how they would like to. This is a major problem. Kids are growing up on their sites only having to interact with the things and people they are interested in, merely discarding anything they care not about. These kids grow up to become rediculously ADD when faced with a task which is not in their area of interest, for that is how they have been conditioned to think. Crowds are exponentially more malleable when it comes to opinion and stance now as well. Without the internet, people like trump would not have as much praise, because people would have to actually think and form their own opinions about him in the stead of reading an article by a 'trusted' news source on Facekaf and preaching it to all of their friends. In the informational sense, dependency forms in that we have the answers to most any question at our fingertips, and take more advantage of that than we should. Our relationship with the internet when it comes to information is directly comprable with the person who uses a calculator for all of their mathematics, or one who uses a wheelchair for all of their movement, despte the fact that the alternitaves for both help build yourself. So this applies, as too it applies to the internet's constant exploitation as a primary informational source. When given a project, people google the project to see what other people have done already. When given a politival decision, people google the topic to find an argument which is close to what they think theirs would be to use as their own. The list of examples goes on and on, and i have a rediculous amount of homework to do, but embed related.

> having the amount of social media, sharing, and information we do with modern technology has made us dependant on technology

Agriculture did it first, so did textiles, so did automobiles, the printing press, etc.

Every technology is something we become dependent on, because nobody wants to live and work in a fucking rice paddy and sit at home staring at walls until they die.

> Children are growing up to be ADD and Socially impaired because they live most of their social lives on the internet

Bullshit. They are socially impaired because they don't communicate with one another. The same shit happens with any shut-in activity. Don't blame the internet.

> These kids grow up to become rediculously ADD when faced with a task which is not in their area of interest, for that is how they have been conditioned to think

That's not what ADD is. Even if you don't believe ADD is real, that's not how it works.

> Without the internet, people like trump would not have as much praise, because people would have to actually think and form their own opinions about him in the stead of reading an article by a 'trusted' news source on Facekaf and preaching it to all of their friends.

You're right. Cult of personalities don't exist off of the internet, and no pre-internet cults of personality have ever existed before. There has never been a public figure with masses that immediately believe his words based on non-logic and trust.

> When given a project, people google the project to see what other people have done already.

Are you also anti-library?

I hate social media too, but it sounds like you're just against communication in general. Most of what you're complaining about has existed before the internet and exists separately from the internet, and you're blaming it on a network for literally no reason and with literally no evidence.

And holy fuck, man, it's "ridiculous", not "rediculous"; you misspelled it twice, despite probably having spellcheck.
