OK, so here’s my official, official thesis everyone. But for real this time. C’mon, just hear me out:

We have become more and more dependent on technology (specifically the internet/computers), and truth is, we simply could not function without it. We use it for nearly every aspect of our lives . We fear losing this technology because we would be helpless without it. Proof of our legitimate  fear: popular culture likes to look at the concept of the power going out/technology controlling us. Technology doesn’t just help us anymore, technology defines us.
