Nowadays most of us used technology, When we wake up, we have an alarm clock, when we wake up, we turn the lights on, off the fan or the aircon, wash our faces and lots more Are we still able to live without technology?

Let's say all technology shuts off, I would think we are in big trouble and a lot of people would die. Can we live without our arms and our legs, some of us could but a lot of us would die. Those are my thoughts. Would you want to live without technology?

I also agree with you, and a little bit worried. No, I don't I've been dependent on technology, and I can't move without it

Well, technology is always been there for us. The electricity we have is part of the technology we are using. Nowadays, people simply rely on the things that technology are giving us.

I agree.. If you've given the challenge to do no technology challenge, are you able to do that?

I think we could but I must admit it's all part of my home comforts now so I wouldn't want to be without them. Before advanced technology came along we were used to being without the stuff we have now so didn't miss it.

From my personal perspective, modern technologies are considered the basic needs of humans. In some way, it gives convenient for having them in our lives.

@db20747 I had experienced this before. I had my mission in Central Asia without the modern gadgets. I may also say it is possible to live without them.

Yes we can..our ancenstors have done it but if we try to do it now it will cause more pain to us that what actually it is. If we all human start to living without technlogy then we have to be more cautious on maintaining the balance in the earth rather than own perfection. Today humans lacking in maintaining that balance.

@prakashj256 Everything is kept on changing from time to time, lots of ideas being shared from everyone, we're embarrassing the changes and some forget the past, and when the time comes everything started in beginning, they don't have an idea on how to live with it

Do you think you can still live without technology until you become too cold? without using technology even once?

@tech40 technology is good as long as it does not affect our environment. Once upon a time We humans were in hot deserts, forests, cold deserts, icy places. There was no high class technology. Our brain just automated us to think about it and we started experimenting various things. After a time we learned to survive in these areas. Now those technologies are a part of human made machines which are not cooperating with environment. Machinery Technology can never understand nature because their owner(Humans) don't even know how they were delivered on earth.

I believe we can, but do we really want to? Society has become so insecure in its convenience that not many people can enjoy camping without inside plumbing. :-)

Yup some people enjoy it, but not took so long, and when they do camp, they still have prepared foods by technology, and flashlight, with cell phones, etc

We can survive, but how long. We've been dependent on technology, and I'm not quite sure if we can stand on it, especially those people who born technology dependent.

Honestly, I think it would be really hard. Not impossible, but definitely challenging, as I'm used to having the technology around.

I doubt it. It's hard to live a life without technology. WE can't cook from scratch anymore. Everything needs technology and it's not just about the cellphone. It's electricity, it's using gas when cooking, it's taking public commute, etc.

@tech40 Possibly but I think that won't happen for quite a very long time and that means my son won't experience that or even my grandchildren at all.
