What do you think the worst thing is about the amount of technology we have now?

Speaking for the general public, not doctors, scientists, the army but just day to day people...
What do you think is the worst thing about having all this technology around us all the time?

I feel like an obvious and big problem is the laziness. Not only are people lazy physically (raises my hand on this one lol) but they mentally are lazy too. Google can give the answers to most things, so why bother learning anything? Then you have people who do not research anything and take someone else's word for it. If it is on an important topic, you research that no matter who told you "the facts". Back to the general laziness... People move less these days and have things more convenient for them with the use of computers, smartphones, and general tools and tech for the home.

I agree that it makes people lazy. However, it also enables people easy access to information nowadays. Unlike before, wherein you have to ask around to know the hotline of a pizza place, now you can quickly look it up on Google, and there you go.

In today's age wherein there are tons of resources for free, self-learning is not that hard to achieve. That's one positive point of it. I have friends who self-studied programming just by the use of the internet, and now they work at MNCs and earning big bucks.

Oh I do agree there is a lot of positive things worth noting and this isn't meant to dismiss those. I just wanted to discuss the bad parts of it. It seems like everything has its good points and bad points.
