society has a cyclical co-dependence on

11. We cannot deny the benefit of technological
innovations in our modern life. However, we
cannot also deny the negative impact of
technology on our personal, professional and
emotional lives. It is up to each and every one of
us to control the use of technology. We must
realize that technology should be used to help
improve our lives instead of us becoming slaves to
technological advances.
