It's really hard to break away from the undeniable comfort tech gives to us.
Pair that with our inabillity (as a species) of long term perspective and its a recipe for trouble.
Some people even theorize that may be a very likely cause of our demise.

That is true. It wouldn't be so much of a problem, if said people didn't gravitate towards the dumb and dark side of technology.
I think to some extent we have to take things for granted based on how amazing and intricate the structure of everything is but that we can't always go through and become familiar with all of those structures, like assembly language and binary code is pretty interesting and part of computers but most of us wont be able to be specialized in that
That is true. You'd think more people would be interested in working on said tech, just to see how they managed to simplify it for the masses.

The way technology impacts the way we live (and the world around us) it's a huge subject that has been continuously dsicussed for thousands of years, and certainly will continue for thousands more.
The misuse and/or vanalization of science and tech (usually related to profitable applications) it's a reality. Most of us do take technology for granted.
Here's an example :
As a musician ; If you ask to all the self proclaimed "producers" how many of them knows how to play properly a physical instrument, even something as basic as a drum, plenty of them will answer they do not. So even if they have knowledge about digital audio processing, truth is, they know very little about what music really is, where does it come from and what is like to create it.
inb4 electronic music is real music ;)

Ya but the sad thing is even if we're aware of what Tech is doing to us in the negative, we still continue to use it like that. We as a species are more at fault than the growing tech itself. Not one of us even dares to try to break that cycle.
