Software dev here and can’t imagine my life without technology. From ease of access to information to home automation to instant communication with friends and family far away.

That said, I think the quantity of time we spend using technology has decreased our quality of life by reducing real-life human interaction and decreasing physical activity. I like to think my brain operates like a computer but it needs more downtime without stimulation than I give it.

I hope we start trending back to more human interaction and physical activity than the trend over the last 10 years of spending more and more time using technology.
