Ep. 44 At What Point Does Convenience Become Dependency?

Technology has come a long way.
From Big Wheels and Nintendo cartridges to dial-up internet, AIM, cell phones, GPS, electronic records, and now AI — I’ve lived through a pretty wild evolution of technology.
But somewhere along the way, I started thinking about a bigger question:
At what point does convenience become dependency?
Technology has made our lives easier in countless ways. We have access to more information than ever, we can communicate instantly, and AI can help us create, learn, organize, and solve problems.
But what happens when the things making life easier also make certain skills less necessary?
In this episode, I take a trip back through the technology I grew up with and the things we had to figure out for ourselves — and how different life feels now that so much can be done with the click of a button.
This isn't about being anti-technology. Hell no. I'm not giving up GPS. 😂
It's about finding the line between using the tool and needing the tool.
Because technology is supposed to make our lives easier… not make us forget how to live them.
