Technology hasn't captured us, but it hasn't really liberated us either, it's just become a new part of life. Sice so many things are run with tehcnology such as cell phone or a lap top, they are needed to work, but they aren't anything new, they are just new ways of communication and to write things down and faster as well. Things like the TV and gameboys and such for recreational use have just expanded upon a gaming and entertainment market, and it's just a newer way of getting news and ideas across.
