Are we getting too dependent on technology? In case you haven’t noticed, everything seems to be available to us in just a push of a button. While it has definitely made life easier for us, it has also made us more vulnerable to glitches or power outages. It seems that man’s extinction would be caused not by climate change but by power shortages.

I’m not saying that we should gradually rid ourselves of the gadgets that we’re carrying around. I might be the first person who’ll proffer an objection to such a proposal. What I’m advocating is for everybody to be made aware of our dependency and vulnerability so that something could be done about it.

I’m not exactly sure as to the appropriate measures that should be taken in order to prepare ourselves for worst-case scenarios, but I think many of us should be reacquainted with the old and computer-less procedures of our respective crafts.
