It depends.\n\nIn some respects yes very, because think of all the medical advances that have come about because of technology.  Think about the fact that we can now travel to the moon, take pictures of distant planets, fly across the ocean in a matter of hours instead of taking days,weeks,or even months.\n\nSo Yes, technology has helped us in many ways, but as with everything there is a downside.\n\nNow everyone wants you to multitask, which doesn't mean you get anything done any faster or better.  You can't take your time and focus on one thing, instead there are emails to write, text messages to respond back to, voice mail to check, and phone calls to return.  \n\nThere are computer crashes and freezes, which take time out of your day, when you could've had your work done had the computer not froze or crashed.\n\nThere are people who no longer have a job because they are replaced by a machine, or they don't understand how to use the machine.  So, now maybe they can't feed their families or keep a roof over their head anymore.\n\nOn the downside of technology we are really moving towards having only rich and poor, and the poor will simply *NOT* be able to keep up with the rich when it comes to learning about technology and being able to use the most updated products, and since for good or ill technology is now a requirement of most workplaces, if you can't keep up again you may be out of a job.\n\nTechnology has given us wonderful things such as the microwave, but has also given us horrible things such as the Atomic bomb.  \n\nThe problem is not technology in and of itself, it's that humans cannot seem to control the technology that they invent.  \n\nTechnology has to be created and used in a responsible manner, and humans should always not lose sight that their first responsibility should be to the other humans, animals and plants that they share this planet with.\n\nIf people would keep all of that in mind, and put that first, instead of putting money, and the technology itself first; we would probably move forward with better technology that will help make our lives better.\n\nAs it stands right now, we have technology that makes are lives better and worse at the same time.

Due to the introduction of technology, you need less manpower and more machine power. This introduction of technology will lead to unemployment and is thus called as technological unemployment.

Sure they are and they will make more advances. There's the MRI, CAT Scan, PET, EEG, etc... without computers hospitals and any health care facilities will be disabled. So much depends on computers that life itselt cannot work without it.

Then our society will be in trouble. Because everything starts at the top and works its way down. If there's no leadership or management, people will do the same who work under the government and then our society can run a muck out of control. It's good that we have leaders who are enforcing the laws and such in government. They have to work with people on knowing how to handle millions of people.=>

There would be widespread chaos and anarchy.

You are right. Narrow minded and selfish people always resist new technology. There was massive resistance to computers in the beginning as computers were perieved to replace jobs of people.

He wouldn't be working. Any buisiness he touched went belly up. if it was not for the family support and the Bush money raising money, G.W. Bush was would be pushing a cart around the streets and talking to himself.

HOMELAND SECURITY and FIMA.You could write a book on the inadequacies of that outfit.History will reveal how government responded to it's greatest natural disaster.This could be be a tale of "too little too late",waste and graft, indifference and incompetence at the highest levels of government.

It might be than that the government would go back to being merely a servant of the people -- merely a temporary servant; And not the people a servant to them.\n\n Its function might be to obey orders, not originate them.\n\nMaybe.

Nope, I think in a few years the world will be run by them. Soon when you go to Burger King there will be no people behind the counter, it will all be computers, Think of it this way though all of your information is stored on computers, what happens if one day they just all die. Then we all would be in big trouble! So maybe we use the computer too much!!

Artificial intelligence robot construction would help.

Well,let's see.\nNo hospitals.Doctors and nurses would be at home.\nNo electricity.Nobody at power plants.\nNo water.Nobody at filter plants(pumping stations).\nNo gas for your car.Nobody at gas stations.\nNo police or firemen.They would be at home.\nNo T.V. Nobody at T.V. stations.\nAnd that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Actually, I was just thinking what would happen if everyone quit paying their taxes, would the government start listening to us? That would definitely hit the headlines.

NO. I think that would be impossible. We cannot flourish if people are not working. Outsourcing causes Americans to loose jobs. Think of the problem on an individual level, if as an individual you cannot take care of yourself and have to depend on others what would happen? Just like individuals our country needs to be self sufficient.

Sounds great. Except we lack the technology, know-how, resources, funding, interest, et cetera. So, good luck with that.
