Is Technology Controlling Our Lives?
Years and years ago, the internet was an escape from the world. Now, the world is our escape from the internet and the abundance of technology.
While technology can be very beneficial, it can control our lives without us even knowing it. Yes, it is nice having the ability to access anything and anyone at any time, but can we go five minutes without our phones?
Eddy Occhipinti, Associate Athletics Director/Marketing & Sponsorships believes that technology has greatly impacted our daily lives and society as a whole.
“In some respects, technology is incredibly helpful and has made many aspects of people’s lives easier and more convenient. In other ways, and depending on what and how, technological advances can be seen as harmful, depending on your perception and point of view. Like anything, if we allow it to control us, it will. I do think technology and its convenience has made us all very dependent on it, for better or worse,” he said.
Technology is eliminating face-to-face communication more and more. Business Insider states that the average person users their cell phone 2,617 times a day, so it’s no wonder interpersonal communication has become a rarity.
As you walk from class to class across campus, students’ eyes don’t leave their phone. Then, once you get to class, more students are glued to their phone, sending that last minute text before the professor arrives, or posting on their Snapchat story, fun phrases like, “I hate this class.”
When was the last time you were asked out in person and not through a text or Tinder message? When was the last time you sent someone a card to wish them a happy birthday instead of a text?
There are clearly downsides of technology, which Sue Starke Ph.D., associate professor of English believes. “We’re beginning to see some of the societal downsides of the ways people use newer personal technology. I believe that people will eventually adjust and develop new codes of behavior and etiquette to respond to and control disruptive aspects of new technologies,” Starke said.
She added that it is important to recognize these problems so that new norms can be developed to deal with them. We have to learn to control technology, and not allow technology to control us.
Technology and social media bring us instant communication, instant access to anything, and tons of entertainment, like Netflix or Hulu. That is exactly why it is so hard to be without our precious little cell phones.
Senior communication student, Elliot McPherson, admits that it can be a challenge losing immediate access to the above commodities.
“That’s why nobody ever wants to lose their phone, because it makes life a little harder. Not to mention that future generations are being brought up more dependent on it than we were. It’s a grey area with the fact that it has real benefits, but real social drawbacks,” he said.
Similar to what Starke said, McPherson also added that technology is always evolving, so we will eventually have to figure out what course of action to take, and what norms to establish.
Until those new norms come to be, it is important to realize that we can survive without our cell phones, and we must take the time to unplug. Believe it or not, unplugging can leave us feeling happier.
When we constantly see others post about their lives, it can leave us feeling lonely, jealous, or unhappy. Maybe your boyfriend doesn’t treat you the way he should, but you see your friend being treated like a princess. That can make you feel unhappy and desperate to find a better guy. Or perhaps you see a classmate’s “transformation Tuesday” post on Instagram while wishing that you had that fit body.
Unplugging also gives us the ability to open our eyes and truly pay attention to what’s in front of us. Go bundle up and watch the sunset on the beach or spend some quality time with your significant other. Engage in meaningful, authentic, face-to-face communication. The moment that you are in, you will never get back, so don’t miss it by scrolling through Facebook or “liking” all of your crush’s Instagram posts.
With finals approaching and winter break right around the corner, try unplugging and see what the world has to offer, rather than using technology as an escape from the world.
Spend some one-on-one time with friends or your significant other. Turn your phone off for a night and go take a hot bubble bath followed by hot chocolate. Remember that there is a beautiful world to be seen when you look up from your phone.

The Campanile
Do we control technology or does it control us.
W hen the alarm goes off in the morning, the first thing many people do is reach for their cell phones which will only start their typical 4-hour use, according to The Guardian . Technology simplifies our lives, and in the high-tech world that we live in, it can be hard for people to imagine a world without it. Although the use of technology can be beneficial, it has started to control our lives and influenced them, which has caused more overall harm than good. Consequently, we need to begin considering whether we control technology or if it controls us before taking any definitive stance.
Having such a powerful tool at your fingertips makes you more and more dependent on it, eliminating possible face to face reactions. Whether this is in school, a workplace or just around the neighborhood, it sometimes seems that almost everyone’s eyes are glued onto their screens.
While there are positive aspects to the use of technology like creative inspiration, the ability to contacts friends or family, and entertainment, the negatives have clearly outweighed these positives.
“Expectations, impressions, and appearances are so big in social media and sometimes you can get so caught up that you can get spoiled because you don’t realize that you should be grateful for what you have now,” Junior Hyunah Roh said.
As of right now, the best way to reduce phone usage is to unplug and just take a break. According to an article by Jamie Gruman, when you unplug from your phone it gives you time and space to decompress and recharge, making you feel better when you return to a workplace or school. Additionally, taking a break could leave you feeling much happier as you no longer being exposed to other people’s lives and subsequently feeling inadequate by comparison.
Unplugging can give you the opportunity to open your eyes and look at the world around us and how beautiful it can be. In addition to the pleasant views, there are also many medical reasons behind logging off your phone. According to the PC magazine , prolonged use of screens can lead to potential eye damage, inconsistent sleep patterns, the transmission of bacteria, increased stress and more.
In addition to harming our personal lives, technology has also taken over several vocations. Many jobs, especially factory work, have been replaced by machines. According to a study from Oxford economics, there can be up to an increase of 14 million robots in 11 years in China alone. In addition, the study mentioned that the amount of robots installed in workplaces for the last four years is the same as the amount of eight years previous to that date. In terms of what is to come, the study predicts that 1.5 million jobs could be lost to robots by the year 2030. While these stats do seem to be quite frightening, there are many positives to technology in the industry. For example, robots can be programmed to perform dangerous tasks, have consistent accuracy, and work many hours during the week and weekend.
With all of these predictions and statistics, it is clear that technology has started to control us.

What Makes Technology Good or Bad for Us?
Everyone’s worried about smartphones. Headlines like “ Have smartphones destroyed a generation? ” and “ Smartphone addiction could be changing your brain ” paint a bleak picture of our smartphone addiction and its long-term consequences. This isn’t a new lament—public opinion at the advent of the newspaper worried that people would forego the stimulating pleasures of early-morning conversation in favor of reading the daily .
Is the story of technology really that bad? Certainly there’s some reason to worry. Smartphone use has been linked to serious issues, such as dwindling attention spans , crippling depression , and even increased incidence of brain cancer . Ultimately, though, the same concern comes up again and again: Smartphones can’t be good for us, because they’re replacing the real human connection of the good old days.
Everyone’s heard how today’s teens just sit together in a room, texting, instead of actually talking to each other. But could those teenagers actually be getting something meaningful and real out of all that texting?
The science of connection
A quick glance at the research on technology-mediated interaction reveals an ambivalent literature. Some studies show that time spent socializing online can decrease loneliness , increase well-being , and help the socially anxious learn how to connect to others. Other studies suggest that time spent socializing online can cause loneliness , decrease well-being , and foster a crippling dependence on technology-mediated interaction to the point that users prefer it to face-to-face conversation.
It’s tempting to say that some of these studies must be right and others wrong, but the body of evidence on both sides is a little too robust to be swept under the rug. Instead, the impact of social technology is more complicated. Sometimes, superficially similar behaviors have fundamentally different consequences. Sometimes online socialization is good for you, sometimes it’s bad, and the devil is entirely in the details.
This isn’t a novel proposition; after all, conflicting results started appearing within the first few studies into the internet’s social implications, back in the 1990s. Many people have suggested that to understand the consequences of online socialization, we need to dig deeper into situational factors and circumstances. But what we still have to do is move beyond recognition of the problem to provide an answer: When, how, and why are some online interactions great, while others are dangerous?
The interpersonal connection behaviors framework
As a scientist of close relationships, I can’t help but see online interactions differently from thinkers in other fields. People build relationships by demonstrating their understanding of each other’s needs and perspectives, a cyclical process that brings them closer together. If I tell you my secrets, and you respond supportively, I’m much more likely to confide in you again—and you, in turn, are much more likely to confide in me.
This means that every time two people talk to each other, an opportunity for relationship growth is unfolding. Many times, that opportunity isn’t taken; we aren’t about to have an in-depth conversation with the barista who asks for our order. But connection is always theoretically possible, and that’s true whether we’re interacting online or face-to-face.
Close relationships are the bread and butter of happiness—and even health. Being socially isolated is a stronger predictor of mortality than is smoking multiple cigarettes a day . If we want to understand the role technology plays in our well-being, we need to start with the role it plays in our relationships.
And it turns out that the kind of technology-mediated interactions that lead to positive outcomes are exactly those that are likely to build stronger relationships. Spending your time online by scheduling interactions with people you see day in and day out seems to pay dividends in increased social integration . Using the internet to compensate for being lonely just makes you lonelier; using the internet to actively seek out connection has the opposite effect .
“The kind of technology-mediated interactions that lead to positive outcomes are exactly those that are likely to build stronger relationships”
On the other hand, technology-mediated interactions that don’t really address our close relationships don’t seem to do us any good—and might, in fact, do us harm. Passively scrolling through your Facebook feed without interacting with people has been linked to decreased well-being and increased depression post-Facebook use.
That kind of passive usage is a good example of “ social snacking .” Like eating junk food, social snacking can temporarily satisfy you, but it’s lacking in nutritional content. Looking at your friends’ posts without ever responding might make you feel more connected to them, but it doesn’t build intimacy.
Passive engagement has a second downside, as well: social comparison . When we compare our messy lived experiences to others’ curated self-presentations, we are likely to suffer from lowered self-esteem , happiness, and well-being. This effect is only exacerbated when we consume people’s digital lives without interacting with them, making it all too easy to miss the less photogenic moments of their lives.
Moving forward
The interpersonal connection behaviors framework doesn’t explain everything that might influence our well-being after spending time on social media. The internet poses plenty of other dangers—for two examples, the sense of wasting time or emotional contagion from negative news. However, a focus on meaningful social interaction can help explain decades of contradictory findings. And even if the framework itself is challenged by future work, its central concept is bound to be upheld: We have to study the details of how people are spending their time online if we want to understand its likely effects.
In the meantime, this framework has some practical implications for those worried about their own online time. If you make sure you’re using social media for genuinely social purposes, with conscious thought about how it can improve your life and your relationships, you’ll be far more likely to enjoy your digital existence.

How Technology Can Help Us Become More Human
P rofound changes to the substance and structure of our lives — wrought by disruptive technologies ranging from smartphones and social media to newly ascendent AI — often go unnoticed amidst the rush of daily life. Over 30 percent of U.S. adults report “almost constant” online activity, something that would have been impossible only two decades ago. From an early age, children are exposed to digital technologies, and one recent study found that two- and three-year-olds average two hours of screen time daily. Nor is this phenomenon simply a matter of media consumption. Ordinary market transactions, whether online shopping or home mortgage applications, are now facilitated through sophisticated algorithmic systems.
How we use our time, form relationships, feed our minds, and develop our identity bears scant resemblance to even ten years ago. These are radical changes compared to when I was growing up in the 1980s and 1990s. No wonder we feel on the back foot when reacting to technological change. The dialogue in higher education about ChatGPT4 is a case study in urgent shifts in institutions. Should chatbots be banned or encouraged? Should college exams revert to hand-cramping Blue Books? These short-term challenges are not trivial. But, they also point to deeper, more fundamental questions: How do we create, finance, and incentivize the development of technologies to proactively scaffold human development rather than simply adapt reactively?
How We Grow
First, let’s be clear about what human development means in this context. Most people can intuitively explain how the needs of an infant are different from those of a middle-aged or elderly person. Decades of psychological research have articulated a clear series of cognitive, emotional, social, and moral transitions over time.
Psychological needs vary greatly across childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood (the years between 18 and 30), and older adulthood. In childhood, cognition centers on the acquisition of language and the rudiments of abstract reasoning, while emotional skills such as self-regulation and empathy are still taking root. However, adolescence begins with an exploration of identity, social concerns, refinement of moral reasoning, and critical thinking. Emerging adulthood revolves around higher-order characteristics such as wisdom, perspective-taking, forgiveness, and spiritual understanding, traits which continue to develop as people age.
Human institutions, beliefs, and practices reinforce specific cognitive, emotional, and social skills and traits. Rituals such as baptism and naming ceremonies, coming-of-age rites, weddings, retirement parties, and funerals help reinforce individual and communal identity. These cultural products were fine-tuned over centuries to help us navigate important life transitions. As the most important cultural product today, our technologies should do the same.
Technology Can Help Us Grow
Early adolescence is a great example of a life transition where application of digital technologies can help. Researchers posit that identity development is the core cognitive, emotional, and social task for adolescents. Being accepted and valued by a peer group is incredibly important during this period.
It is clear that something has gone awry in adolescent development, where statistics on teen mental health underline a deep crisis. Nearly 60 percent of teenage girls in the U.S. report feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness and just over 30 percent have seriously considered suicide.
Clinical treatment by a health professional may be the gold-standard, but it is not accessible to all, and there is a desperate need for scalable options to prevent adolescent anxiety and depression. Schools are increasingly seen as being responsible for the mental health of children, and they are rapidly adopting socio-emotional learning curricula around the world as a result.
Aided by digital technologies, teachers can deliver interventions that are highly personalized for individual students and optimized to promote key socio-emotional skills. Children can practice skills that lessen anxiety in a virtual setting where they can be exposed to a stressful environment through various scenarios in a safe way. One such game, MindLight, helps children and young people improve how they cope with stress and anxiety by using a neurofeedback headset.
In MindLight, kids put on a single-channel EEG headset and their avatar navigates a dark, enchanted mansion where they encounter stressful scenarios. The only tool at their avatar’s disposal is a little head lamp which brightens or dims in response to their neurofeedback: The better kids manage their anxiety, the brighter their avatar’s head lamp, allowing them to navigate and make progress in their game. For adolescent players, a six-hour session with MindLight was shown to be as effective as 12 weeks of the therapist-guided cognitive behavioral therapy. These results are incredible, especially because such technologies can be deployed at scale throughout school systems. Digital tools like MindLight save precious time for teachers and psychologists while also super-charging impact on adolescent mental health.
Another example comes from the realm of moral decision-making. Many adults work in jobs where they constantly make decisions affecting the health and wellbeing of others. Ethical codes and moral precepts guide moral decision-making, especially when information is incomplete, distractions are myriad, time is short, and outcomes uncertain. As a proof-of-concept, computer scientists and philosophers have teamed up to develop an algorithmic system to help hospital administrators adhere to their own professional ethical code in the allocation of scarce organs for transplantation.
In this case, features of an organ recipient that administrators consider to be morally salient (age, health, number of dependents) are incorporated into a computational model. The outputs of this model can be used to guide allocations for a large number of decisions, with the goal of reducing bias, overcoming fatigue, and adhering to pre-considered ethical priorities. Much more work on these hybrid human-AI systems is required before they are ready for deployment, but these initial studies point the way for promising new applications.
But clearly these innovations face enormous challenges to rapid development and widespread adoption. Developing these systems requires radical collaboration from different skill sets including psychology, computer science, philosophy, and engineering. A more significant challenge relates to the ecosystem (or lack thereof) of resources necessary to develop these technologies, the so-called “valley of death” between research and practice.
Hundreds of pilot-scale interventions are developed in academic labs where the primary aim is evaluation of efficacy in controlled conditions. Yet, important issues like usability, willingness-to-pay, and demand generation — which de-risk private investment — are rarely investigated within the academy. Securing financing to get these technologies into the hands of people who most need them in the workplace, home, or classroom can be incredibly difficult.
Demonstration projects exist, yet the path to product testing and adoption at scale is unclear. Digital consumer products generally require the aggressive, capital-intensive user growth strategies demanded by venture investors. Public sector channels like education or healthcare have inherent regulatory risks and favor incumbent players.
This is a classic market failure where philanthropic capital and impact investment should fill the gap. Philanthropy has been at the forefront of developing many high-impact public health tools including new malaria vaccines and new broad-spectrum antibiotics. The same can happen for technology development.
For example, philanthropies can support consensus ‘target product profiles’ that specify the intended use, evidence of efficacy, and other performance characteristics of technologies. Funders can then use grants to support innovations that meet these criteria and also invest directly in the companies who are commercializing them.
Outside of helping to accelerate specific technologies, philanthropies have a major role to play in shaping industry-wide practices and norms. One effective tool is the creation of public indices that assess company commitments to different social causes. For example, the Access to Nutrition Index tracks and ranks food and beverage manufacturers on their actions to improve the nutritional quality of their products. An analogous “Responsible AI Index” could help keep firms accountable to their promises.
These are just a few ideas about how philanthropic investment can help galvanize a new generation of technologies that aid human development, not impede it. As technology becomes ever more embedded in our lives, it’s up to all of society to figure out how to use it for good.

How it works
In the 1960s, an eccentric professor and philosopher predicted the rise of the Internet. Marshall McLuhan spent most of his life at the University of Toronto, where he focused on understanding culture and technology: what it is, how they interact with each other, and how they shape our past and present.
In his book Understanding Media: The External Extensions of Man, he predicted that we would soon move away from the visual culture dictated by print magazines and technologies like television to electronic media.
This, he believed, would lead to the emergence of a “global village” – a new type of social organization in which individualism is replaced by tribalism.
The main reason why McLuhan was able to make such an impressive prediction is that he deeply understood technology and how people use it.
He did not see technology as simple tools. He saw in them the external extensions of a person, direct technical extensions of his body, sense organs, and abilities.
- 1 The essence of personal technology
- 2 How to get the most benefit
- 3 Conclusions
The essence of personal technology
Although McLuhan sometimes looked negatively at the impact of technology on people’s lives, he was mostly impartial; he generally believed that technology was inherently neutral. If you use them wisely and correctly, they are useful; if not, they control you.
When we hear the word “cyborg”, we immediately think of sci-fi films, where people merge with computers in the physical plane. However, according to McLuhan’s definition, we have been cyborgs ever since we learned how to make fires, create tools, and dress.
Each of these technologies, like a computer, in a sense, complements our senses and body and allows us to better navigate in different zones of time and space.
When you build a car and use it in your daily life, you replace some of the functionality of your legs – you no longer need to use them to travel long distances as you did before. In this sense, the machine becomes a part of your body or an extension of it.
This definition of technology turns everything that we thoughtlessly use in everyday life into something that either benefits us or harms us.
If you spend all day in front of the computer, distracted by various notifications, you are not doing anything good for yourself.
At the same time, the ability to send letters to loved ones using the same computer in a matter of seconds and communicate at a distance is a huge advantage. This is how you manipulate time and space, although previously you could not do this with only your body.
The same dynamic exists in our relationship to clothing, bed, home, and everything that gives our body a new function.
How to get the most benefit
One of the most inspiring cultural trends in recent years is minimalism: the idea that fewer possessions are better because many of our things are far from essential to life in the strict sense.
This concept is correct and wrong at the same time – depending on which side you look at it from.
Indeed, we technically do not need anything other than food, water, shelter, and leisure. Most of the things we possess are our free choices. If we look at it from McLuhan’s point of view, these things act more like a computer that interferes with life than a computer that allows you to communicate with loved ones at a distance. On the other hand, if you have the right intentions and value the benefits, then these things can make our life much easier.
This way of thinking requires a complete reassessment of the relationship to technology. It is important to understand whether a certain thing that actively interacts with your body gives you more control over the environment, or, on the contrary, controls you.
A car, for example, can easily take you to any place that would be more difficult for you to walk. In most cases, she does not control your life. Social media, on the other hand, is addictive and manipulative.
Conclusions
Given the state of technology today, the medium you use to consume your content shapes your understanding more than the content itself. There is a difference between reading a paper newspaper and a website. The first is a very individual action, the second is tribal.
Today, technology is driving us rather than the other way around. This is partly because of the way we have created technology over the past few decades, and partly because we are simply not literate enough to manage our attitudes.
Any technology – from clothing to a computer – either merges with the body and benefits or harms it.
If you can appreciate the attitudes towards different technologies in your life and their different goals, you will maximize the benefits that they will bring.
