The technology that we use today contributes a great deal to the "noise" in everyday life. Our computers and laptops make constant noise, our phone make noises when they ring or we get a text message etc. The good thing about using a cell phone or texting, opposed to talking to someone face to face is that it is alot easier to call or text someone, where as though, if you dont use a phone there is no fast way of getting in touch with someone.
I believe there is a difference between using technology, and abusing it. Some people spend their whole days on the computer or on the phone. Like my mother always says, cell phones are only supposed to be used for emergencies, and in this day, they are almost substitues for house phones.
