Yeah, sure, I would say I spend about 60% of my day using technology. If I'm not working on my laptop, I spend that time watching series on my cell phone or playing video games on my console. Even when I have to go out, I use my car, which is technology too. I think that I use it too much, but I don't think that it is bad. I believe that different kinds of technology can help us improve the way we live.
