Or maybe not. In fact, it turns out that using tech can be more stressful than traffic jams and filing taxes to name just a couple. Over at Tom’s Hardware, they have a brief write-up of a survey conducted by Crucial, a memory manufacturer, regarding stress caused by technology. It’s unbelievable some of the things people considered less stressful than using computers.

People can become addicted to technology, there is therapy for that addiction, the APA is considering making it an actual mental disorder, and retreats exist whose purpose is to get us away from technology. Even when that happens though, we get stressed because we don’t have it.

We just can’t win!
