Technology's stranglehold

I was driving to one of my jobs and I got to thinking. I was thinking about technology and how it's complicated our lives. Growing up was such a simplier time. Don't get me wrong I think technology has many benefits. But I think it's made our lives much more difficult. And it's really empowering the Government. They are slowly enslaving us with it. Taking away are freedom little by little. Our founding forefathers would be disgusted if they could see how things have become.
