There was a time when man used to be self-dependent for all activities of his daily living. A pair of arms and legs used to be his closest friends and assistants to perform his errands. But as the time passed by, man used his wit and power and invented various easygoing gadgets to perform his work without putting any pressure on his shoulders. Invention of machines and gadgets has made his life so easy that at a very slow pace he started becoming dependent of machines for everything. In the past, man used to perform lots of activities by himself, but gradually tables turned and machines ruled his heart, brain, as well as body, and then his whole world. https://www.google.com/amp/s/discover.hubpages.com/.amp/education/MODERN-MAN-HAS-BECOME-SLAVE-TO-MACHINES-AND-GADGETS

2) You Lose Track of Time When You’re Online
3) You Feel Anxious Without Connection
4) You Are Addicted to Your Mobile Phone
5) You Find it Difficult to Sleep
6) You Don’t Go Out Enough
7) You Have Lost Your Creativity

Yes, it is true. Our too much dependence on machine has led to sedentary behaviour which is the main cause of diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Human beings are now addicted to the use of mobile phones. There is no a single day where we could stay away from using our phones. Our homes are designed in such a way that we should use only washing machines, coffee makers and mixers. In the future, due to population explosion, we might be forced to grow vegetable at homes supported by machines.

Dear Dr.. Chinaza Godswill Awuchi thank you very much for your sharing your wonderful thoughts on this matter. Many thanks also for sharing a relevant link.
Now while sitting with the family or friends or while traveling in a train or bus, people can be seen talking on cellphones instead of talking to the persons sitting besides them. If they are not talking on the phones, they can be seen pressing the buttons of cellphones for gaming, SMS, or songs, etc. Some prefer to listen to songs over the cellphone. https://www.google.com/amp/s/discover.hubpages.com/.amp/education/MODERN-MAN-HAS-BECOME-SLAVE-TO-MACHINES-AND-GADGETS
Man's so much dependence on machines has made them listless and obese. As most of the work is done by machines, there is less physical activity, that results in obesity, sickness, and loss of immune power. Today's man cannot be considered as stronger as the man of the past. Even the kids can be seen flabby and having less stamina just because of the machines they use for all the work that could be done manually. https://www.google.com/amp/s/discover.hubpages.com/.amp/education/MODERN-MAN-HAS-BECOME-SLAVE-TO-MACHINES-AND-GADGETS
It largely depends on the person. You don't have to become a slave. All of these gadgets are just tools. But many are not far from erecting monuments, as in a cargo cult. The problem is much broader, as reflected in Richard Feynman's "Cargo cult science" speech (1974).
Dear Dr. Chinaza Godswill Awuchi many thank for your active participation in this discussion and making significant contribution. Your shared links are quite useful.
