       I believe 99% of the people we are depending on the media, using the gadgets from the technology like television, radio, cell phones, mp3, IPod and many others devices, the reason is  because we are living in rush around the world in consequence the  need to get information faster than our ability of think. So we are prisoners of the information through the technology and we cannot live out of the media like in "The Allegory of the Cave".

  

But in this speed around the life make that we are losing our control and our ability of thinking. Also the urgency in how we want to obtain information makes us more dependent of the media and electronic devices and we do not realize that we live like “Truman” in the world created for the technology and media. It is true it gives us the comfort to get the information and entertainment faster than ever, in the time the event occur but we are not realize also that is limiting  our ability to think, use our intelligence and imagination, furthermore we are losing our self control.

For instance when we want search in internet something, for some reason we do not have a connection, our immediate reaction is disappointed, upset, frustrate and angry .In consequence we are losing self control.

We must be aware that this comfort of technology is limiting us to live in the darkness of the dependency.
