Intro to techalcoholism

With the exception of a few isolated tribes and marginal populations, all of us living today are more or less dependent on technology. Our essence as modern people, our belonging to the modern world, is defined through the large-scale use of technology, which gives us means to achieve things that were not possible before or were possible to a much lesser degree. It is however precisely this essential character that technology has for the modern person, this feeling of being indispensable, that makes some of us ignore the risks and dangers that a reckless usage of technology entails. This is how technology addictions come to be with all their negative effects, this is how some of us become techalcoholics.
