Too much tech?

Ten years ago, nobody knew how popular technology would become. As of 2009, about 2.5 Billion texts were sent from cell phones (the biggest and fastest advancement in technology) each day. This has dramatically increased since the first cell phone able to send a text non-commercially, and our technology is rapidly increasing every day. Texting and cell phones didn't become popular till about 2006, but in the span of only 8 years, we have gone from most people never even sending a text to having a robot listen to our voice and type the text in itself. Today, we are almost doing it unconsciously. It's sadly becoming second nature to us. So what does this mean for the future? Is technology advancing so fast that we are becoming lazy and too dependable on these magnificent metal boxes? They make every aspect of our daily lives a thousand times easier, but are they making it too easy? It seems like all of our parents and grandparents (or most of them anyway) got along perfectly fine without them. From the moment we wake up, we are checking texts, weather, emails, news updates, and today you can find an app for anything. ANYTHING. I mean, really, do we actually need a blood alcohol content calculator app? If you aren't aware if you are intoxicated or not, then chances are you're temporarily not going to know how to use your phone either. How about the "Restaurant Tip Calculator" app that has over a million downloads? Come on, if you cant take fifteen percent of ten dollars, you just didn't pay enough attention in algebra class. Tired? There's an app for that.
