Obsessed With Technology

Hi everyone! I hope you guys have had a great holiday weekend. I am back with more entries.
Back when technology first came out, people were interested but not as “obsessed” as people are today.
Back then, people didn't really have technology to be obsessed with. They had to do with what they had to get by and made the best out of it.
Nowadays, people are all up in their technology. Many web article authors agree and feel like it’ll only get worse as time goes on. (I will post the link of one of the articles below. Feel free to read it and comment.)
Not only are psychology experts and journalists noticing this change, but regular people too. I asked my mother, who’s 52, if she thinks people are more obsessed with technology now compared to back then. She hastily replied, “Well of course.! Back then, we didn't have that much technology; you make do with what you have. Now— you see them on the train: they’re playing; they’re texting; they’re reading; they’re typing. Definitely [obsessed]!”
Do you agree with what’s happening? Do you think it will change our social interactions with each other from this period on? Feel free to post your opinions below, and check out the article below.
