If becoming more tech stable makes your life easier than go for it but what happens if the energy
Everyone needs electronics in their life from a simple cell phone to a smart car. We need electronics today for the most important things today, like contacting those who we love and care about but can’t see them because they are so far away. We also need it to help those who aren’t able to support themselves like an elevator that helps those who can’t walk as well as other.
