Long-term effects of living in a technological world?

[Nebulous]

What are the long-term effects of living in a technological world?

Are these mostly negative or positive?

I would say that one of the long-term effects of living in a technological world is going to be being too addicted to the use of tech and one's life is going to miserable should we experience a cut off using such tech. Take for instance what would happen whenever there's total internet shutdown. It's going to be crazy!!

People have become desensitized to their own & other's humanity. It's easy to bully, be disrespectful to another when you can't see the repercussions of your actions.

What I think is sad is when you go out to eat & people are looking down at their phones instead of chatting with their friends.
