Are Your Gadgets Controlling You?

In today's NY Times, it talked about how technology is beginning to be overwhelming for much of its users. Being connect 24/7 feels like a bit much.  In this article it talks about the use of  technology and how we are literally connected with each other 24/7. Social Media, video calling, texting, etc…are all ways we have adapted to being connected to each other on a regular basis. However, studies have shown that these devices are preventing individuals to concentrate or to truly be present with their friends/family.  

Business people enjoy the fact that they can stay connected to their job if they are physically incapable of being at work, along with students. However, its hard to wonder if this bloom in technology has made us feel like slaves to our own devices.

I know there are times when I feel like I’m overwhelmed at the fact that people can know where I am at all times. Or I feel overwhelmed at the fact that I always have to check my phone or have it somewhere near me. Technology is great, but can be DAME scary at times.
