Why have we become addicted to new technologies?
Right now there are few places in the world where there are no phones, TVs and other technologies that make our life easier. Many people have become addicted to their phones or tablets. While some people think they couldn't live without their phones there are useful applications and applications that we don't really need or we could find something to replace them. Some useful applications are the Calendar, Internet browsers and the clock. Some applications we don't really need are games or social networks like Facebook, Twitter and others. However, those applications that we don't really need make us happier. Games make us happy when we are bored or sad, and with social networks we can chat with our friends easier or even find funny things.
A single person can survive without all these applications, but the entire world maybe not because in the stage we are now, the Internet is an essential component in helping cities survive.
Maybe in the future technology will evolve to get us out of dangerous situations, help us get cured of a broken leg or a cold for example, and maybe phones, tablets, TVs and computers will evolve so we won't get headaches from them anymore. Maybe robots will help humans in the future.
I use the Calendar, the Clock, the Calculator and internet browser as very useful applications, but I also play games a lot. I think that all applications are useful in their own way, more or less.
