Although many argue that technology must be applied to every aspect of our life as innovation is improvement, an overdependence on machines in the end will lead to us lacking individual skills, which is why it is important to remain utilizing technology, but not completely automate every part of our lives.

While technology has and always will provide some sort of intellectual advancement, it’s important to consider the boundaries of exploration lest society venture too far into the immoral complications that arise from curiosity, which can be explored through constantly changing concepts such as artificial intelligence, economic theories, and production systems.
