Reason number one is that sometimes, despite how "efficient" modern technology is, it fails. There are crashes, and things don't save properly, and this is very troublesome. It is know to lead to irate phone calls with computer nerds in India or, in severe cases, plain technology withdrawal. This is also the number one cause of technology fatalities, due to aggravated users drop kicking phones or taking baseball bats to computer desktops.
Reason the second is that sometimes things that should be super simple are ridiculously difficult. Wanna have evenly spaced paragraphs and listing? Guess what?! Not going to happen for you. Graph charts you say? Well that's not happening either. It's horribly frustrating.
The third reason is that communication via technology is quite misleading. Batteries die, texts are misread, tone and facial cues are completely lost in translation.. the list goes on and on. No matter what we try, technology will not accomplish what face to face dialogue does. So do yourself a favor, and when you have the opportunity to forgo texting your buddy, hit them up for coffee and laser tag! That's way more interesting.
Finally and fourthly, technology is bad because it is TAKING OVER. It has spread so far and wide that millions are affected by it every day, and it is causing a mega-social evolution. It has completely transformed the workplace, communication, and typical lifestyle. I accept technology as furthering our knowledge and resources, but please oh please, if we are embracing technology we need to try to keep a grip on reality. Don't live life through a screen, kids.
