As we have been discussion all semester technology has become a part of our everyday lives. We cannot escape technology here in NYC. Are we addicted? Yes, I think that many of us are. I often try to escape and take a break from technology and I find it to be impossible. The problems arise when we cannot get the adequate down time in order for our bodies to keep equilibrium  Constant stare at a computer screen will harm vision. Constant feeling of being connect will harm your ability to rest and cause extreme anxiety when it is not working properly if even for a few moments. Netflix was down several weeks/months ago and I was furious that I couldn’t watch a show that I wanted to watch.

The more addicted we become to Facebook and online games the more money they make. Their goal in this sense to cause addiction on a massive scale. Have they already succeeded? I think they are well on their way. This attached article voices the opinions of several top Internet companies. Mr. Crab of Facebook said his concern was that people should live a balanced life. However, Facebook’s profits will increase the more that we do not live well balanced lives so his job goes against his greatest concern and that concerns me.
