Technology becomes invisible once dependence becomes routine.

You stop seeing a technology once you depend on it. Electricity, writing, the phone in your pocket: none of them register as technology anymore, they register as conditions of life. That invisibility is exactly what makes the dependence hard to examine.

Go without one for a day and see what it was actually doing. Not as a purity exercise, just to make the invisible visible. You usually learn both how much you rely on it and which parts of that reliance you would choose again.
