Is technology controlling us or are we in control?

I think that we are engulfed into technology. We have a hard time accepting the fact that electronics are controlling us. How often do you check your phone everyday? How do we communicate with your clients? Everyday we are using some sort of technology. The true question is how is it controlling our emotions? I see technology as something that helps my high pace life flow, allowing me to use a planner, email, etc. Technology should make our lives easier, it shouldn't be the deal breaker if we had a good day our not. For example: If you didn't get enough likes on Instagram that day who cares! These things cause us to become depressed if we are comparing our self to others. I have heard a statistic saying that Facebook is currently the number one cause of depression. Why? People are getting on Facebook and comparing their lives to there friends on Facebook and they think that life sucks! Everyone has a purpose in life! Everyone is important! Don't rely on technology so much to be the deal breaker of your day! Make everyday a great day!
