Document Summary
Technology, is a big part of modern life we think it is helpful, efficient, helps us remember what we need to do. As humans we need these items to keep us in check. Time- technology saves us time due to the speed of typing/calling giving us more time to do other chores. Thus we link time to technology as a way of giving us more time. For example, in earlier days there was less technology and people seemed to live easier, less stressful lives. Hence people link the idea of stress to technology. Many people use facebook/other social media to connect with people, without being face to face. Before all of this people had to actually pick up phone/ ask someone in person, actually interact socially. Psychology is the study of the mind, etc. and how technology has limited us socially. A paradox is any situation that contradicts itself. Most technology has the basis of saving us time.
