I agree some people rely too much on technology and don't engage their brain.
When I was a maths teacher, a student was doing a sum to find out the length of the side of a shape. He plugged some figures into his calculator (making an error doing so) and wrote down the answer of -5 or something like that. I asked him if he saw a problem with that answer and he said no, that's what the calculator says.
My father in law keeps telling me how much better things were before mobile phones. He has one, of course!
Some theists seem to think science is some evil sentient force hell bent on eradicating religion and removing all morality or something. As it happens, it does make religion look pretty stupid, but that's far from its intended effect. The problem is not with science, it's with the fact that religion is stupid.
