100-word rant: Dependence on technology

Reporter talks about how dependent today's society is dependent on technology in a 100 word rant.

Most of us cannot remember a time when music was played on CDs or social media didn’t exist. Technology like drones and artificial intelligence that were once science fiction is now commonplace. Our generation has reaped the benefits of these advancements, but we also face a new challenge —  finding a balance between our lives online and offline.

On one hand, we live in an age when anything and everything can be done online.

As a generation, we need to embrace the future in technology while still being able to live without it.
