What are the potential drawbacks of relying heavily on technology?

Relying heavily on technology can have potential drawbacks such as decreased social interaction, increased screen time leading to a sedentary lifestyle, reliance on automation leading to skillset stagnation, and increased vulnerability to cyber threats such as identity theft and hacking. Over-reliance on technology can also lead to a loss of privacy, as personal information is shared and stored online, which can be accessed by unauthorized individuals. Additionally, technology can be expensive, making it inaccessible to those who cannot afford it, creating a digital divide between those who have access to technology and those who do not. Overall, while technology can greatly improve our lives, careful consideration of its potential drawbacks is necessary to ensure that we do not become overly dependent on it.
