Do you think people are too dependent on technology now?

[BigDog92]

Technology makes everything easier.

But it also means:

less patience
less independence
constant reliance

Is that a problem, or just progress?

True

I think we will be glad once we have full ai abilities and be like wtf did we do it like that for so long. I bit like the first calculator or excel spreadsheet lol

[Bright Hermit]

Definately

But things always swing around. Already seeing vinyl come back. Ipods. People want retro. Not doomscrolling on a phone. Tactile and physical and not a service that can be shutdown/withdrawn like music stores

I usually put more money into the parts that are hardest to upgrade later. What component do you think deserves the biggest slice of the budget?

I disagree with the idea that the GPU should always be the top priority. Some builds benefit more from a stronger CPU or better storage.

People have been complaining about the youth being soft since the invention of the pointy stick. Every time a new tool comes along, folks act like society is crumbling just because we no longer have to churn our own butter or navigate by the stars. Give it a decade and we will be blaming AI for our inability to tie our own shoes while complaining that the flying cars are too loud.

Sure, technology makes everything easier until your smart fridge decides to unionize and refuses to dispense ice because its firmware is outdated. We are definitely too dependent, yet nobody is willing to trade their pocket supercomputer for a map and a payphone. Progress is great until you forget your Wi-Fi password and suddenly feel like a Victorian orphan trying to light a wet log with two sticks.
