Ok, so I’ve been reading some of what I’ve been writing up until now, and I’ve realized that I myself can barely understand what my point is. As such, I’m clarifying my intent some more:

Fear of technology as been around since the Industrial revolution, but it has only increased as technology has become more and more integrated into our daily lives. Why do we fear technology so much? It seems that the more common it becomes, the more uneasy we get. I posit that all fears stem from feeling out of control. Therefore, the more that we rely on technology, the less we feel we can live without it. This automatically causes us to fear the technology which controls our lives. The more reliant we are, the more fearful we become.

• All fears stem from fear of loss of control (I’ll give examples)
• Proof that more and more books/movies center around technology taking over
• Reclaiming our lives – how plausible is a partial disconnect?

Hope that clears things up a bit…check out my rad sources!
