What are three technologies you depend on?

The first technology I would say that I depend on is a computer because I can do pretty much anything I need to do with a computer like entertain myself, chat with people online, search for answers, purchase stuff, etc. The second technology I depend on is air conditioning and heating because I don't like sweating or freezing inside my house. The third technology I depend on are kitchen appliances (e.g. refrigerator and microwave oven), because food is an essential part of my life and I don't want to eat junk food every day.

 

Transportation would probably be the easiest thing to give up since there's always walking and jogging, though it would be less convenient, especially when carrying heavy things. Some people can live without transportation at all. Between phone and computer, it would pretty much depend on what type of person you are, whether you're a mobile-type of person or a stay-in-one-place type of person. For me, a computer would be the hardest thing for me to give up; I can live without a phone since a computer can do a lot of things that a phone cannot do.

 

I wouldn't really consider food technology, but food is essential. Technology is, in short, the process of producing goods and services. Something like a microwave oven or a toaster oven, for instance, could be considered technology as they revolutionize how we consume food. Something along those lines could work for the third option.

 

I'm quite surprised by the number of people who chose transportation and phone. Guess it shows how many people actually depend on them. I would assume people choose them for different reasons, perhaps transportation to commute to school and work. I'm not too sure why most people would pick phone over something like a computer or a laptop, but I guess phones are almost essential enough and very compact and portable compared to other devices.
