As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

Surely many of us have expressed the following sentiment, or some variation on it, during our daily commutes to work:" People are getting so stupid these days!" Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automations with cell phones glued to their ears, PDA's gripped in their palms, and omniscient CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, it's tempting to believe that technology has isolated and infantilized us, essentially transforming us into dependent, conformist morons best equipped to sideswip one another in our SUV's.
Furthermore, hanging around with the younger, pre-commute generation, whom tech-savviness seems to have rendered lethal, is even less reassuring. With " Teen People" style trends shooting through the air from tiger-striped PDA to zebra-striped PDA, and with the latest starlet gossip zipping from juicy Blackberry to teeny, turbocharge cellphone, technology seems to support young people's worst tendencies to follow the crowd. Indeed, they have seemingly evolved into intergalactic conformity police. After all, today's tech-aided teens are, courtesy of authentic, hands-on-video games, literally trained to kill; courtesy of chat and instant text messaging , they have their own language; they even have tiny cameras to efficiently photo document your fashion blunders! Is this adolescence, or paparazzi terrorist training camp?
With all this evidence, it's easy to believe that tech trends and the incorporation of technological wizardry into our everyday lives have served mostly to enforce conformity, promote dependence, heighten consumerism and materialism and cooperation and collaboration. However, I argue that are merely in the inchoate stages of leaning to live with technology while still loving one another. After all, even given the examples provided either in this essay, it seems clear that technology hasn't impaired our thinking and problem-solving capacities. Certainly it has incapacitated our behavior and manners; certainly our values have taken a severe blow. However, we are inarguably more efficiently in our badness these days. We're effective worker bees of ineffectiveness!
If technology has so increased our senses of self-efficacy that we can become veritable agents of the awful, virtual CEO's of selfishness, certainly it can be beneficial. Harnessed correctly, technology can improve our ability to think and act for ourselves. The first challenge is to figure out how to provide technology users with some direly-needed direction.
