For the past few years,technology has became the most powerful force in the world.All the things we see today that changing our lives,we can track back to the introduction of new technology. So I strongly agree with the assertion that people rely more and more on technology to tackle problems,however, the final judgement on wether the ablity of humans to think for themselves will detoriate shoud depend on a case-by-case analysis of the two situations. Adimittedly,with many technological developments,the ability of  will surely detoriate. Enduring problems such as war,poverty and violance stem from certain aspects of technological development.Consider,for instance,advances in technology improve the structural intergrity of our buildings.But,behind the headlines that lay behind the buildings is the fate of the often_indus construction workers.Many labors from poor areas,such as India and Pakistan,risk everything to make money for their family back home.They live a life in labor camps with no water and no air conditioning,and they protested for the non-payment of wages,for the poor quality of food,and inadequate houses. However,technology has enchanced our effciency of all aspects of life.There are now work-stations that enable engineers to design and test products right on their desks with the computer,much the way a company creats a newsettle garage.As the time and cost of making products drop a few days and a few hundreds dollors,engineer may soon be free to let their imaginations soar without  being penalized by expensive failures. Technology can not solve all problems we faces.Some problems such as war ,culture conflicts and discreminations are decided not the technological developtment but other aspects,witch embody politics, In sum, what technology constantly gives us over the long term is not only the benefits ,such as conviences,chances,opportunits ,but also the conficts and tension.That is what we get from technology.
