5 Disadvantages of technology

1. Mankind's violent nature: technology has lead to the invention of numerous weapons that have lead to the deaths of nearly a billion people over our history (A-bomb, automatic rifle, sword and shield)

2. Over dependence: we have become over dependent on our machinery and cannot seem to function without it: (computers, television, automobiles.)

3. Related to the above is sloth: As machinery picks up the slack humans tend to become lazy.

4. Death of written arts: As television and the internet and gaming increase in popularity, pieces of written work fall into the background of culture. Most people in the younger age group were unaware of the lord of the rings until it was filmed.

5. Lose of local work: As the ability of satellite and telephone conferencing becomes more available it is possible to send more jobs abroad.
