Technological dependency

Technological dependency occurs when individuals, organizations, or societies rely heavily on technology for daily functions, communication, work, and problem-solving. This reliance can improve efficiency and connectivity but also makes us vulnerable if the technology fails, becomes outdated, or is compromised. Essentially, it’s a state where our normal activities are closely tied to technological tools, making our dependence on them more pronounced. Managing this dependency involves balancing the benefits of technology with awareness of its limitations and risks to ensure resilience and adaptability.
