Do we own our things or do our things own us? Can we survive without Starbucks, or fast food, or cell phones? Have we become a nation of dependent sissies that don't have the capacity to think for ourselves?

I think this goes further, it is a form of adaptation that we have undergone, we have become mindless in a way but I believe it can be easily reverted, just as we became addicted to this life over time we could also grow out of it.

I think people are what they make themselves.

It feels that there are too many people that allow themselves to get addicted and lose focus. Technology can be quite the blessing but some people take it too far. Instead of it making us curious and figuring out how it works, most people just take it for granted and use it to make their life simpler.
