Modern Technology?

[Quick answer:

It has definitely made our lives easier and more convenient but it has also made us more lazy than we should be. Innovation has obviously helped us, with cell phones, hybrid vehicles, and stuff like that, but in the case of cell phones, the question really is if we all actually need one in the first place -- it's really just a luxury good.

As for cheating, exam rooms just bar cell phones altogether now. You can't use them to communicate or use them as clocks. Being caught using one is too high a cost to pay for cheating.

Just some stuff to get you started. It seems more like an opinion question so you should have stuff to add as well.]
