Alexa, where is my electricity and heating?
Ok, maybe we're not quite there yet, but last week's Amazon outage raised a fair question. Have we become too tech dependent?
"We are reliant on technology, and we'll continue to be more reliant over time" said tech guru and futurist Peter Shankman. "When technology helps us, and becomes almost humanized, we don't mind so much. It's a wake-up call when we have these kinds of crashes, but they don't last forever and the technology is going to be fixed."
At the end of the day, this is all part of the high-tech world that we now live in. "If only 10 people are using something and it goes down, no one cares" Shankman told KTRH, "If half the world is using something and it goes down, we have problem."
That leads us to our poll question.
