Control of technology

Controlled by technology

Society is in a constant state of flux and this is only speeding up every second. Some of these changes are beneficial but, let's face it, most of them are influencing especially the younger generation, to surrender and become dependent to factors such as technology. The society that has built technology to assist with the increase demands of everyday life has become the very target/victim of its ugly.
Looking at my personal experiences, I have noticed that the ever growing internet and devices that I initially thought would help me progress with my studies more swiftly due to the increase access to information, have engulfed my time and focus. For instance, instead of spending more time searching the net for relevant materials for study, my time is dominated with searching dramas, music video, constant checking of facebook and doing everything else that you could do in the net that are not study related!  *sigh* 
Seriously, I don't want to continue on like this... I want to have some sense of control over my time and life, not the technology and societal advances controlling me! I've tried many ways to deal with this issue and I'll keep trying!
I'm will continue to look for answers, and I know that I'm not alone when it comes to this issue so if you guys have any suggestions or opinions about this feel free to comment...
