As much as I love technology and what it has done for the world, it really hurts attention. Technology is a resource, it's a great way to share thoughts, to communicate quickly, to look up facts, to find directions on a map and many more things. But I think some people become to dependent on technology, let it be part of every aspect of their life. It's scary when somebody cannot go 10 minutes without their phone without feeling naked. We should use technology, and not let it control us. Our attention and awareness will improve if we take the time to exist in this word, instead of existing only in a virtual one.
I agree with you 100% about technology. It's a blessing and a curse. I think it's a really good resource and it makes life really easy but we have become a generation that is consumed by it. One of my pet peeves is when you go to a restaurant or cafe and everyone is staring at their phones instead of talking or really spending time with each other.
