Vonnegut Technology

I think he is half right. People shouldn't be totally dependent on technology, but we should use it as a tool to help us with our following life. The Euphio Question was a perfect example of abusing technology to create happiness. We should pursue happiness, not create it. How can you feel the sense of accomplishment when you really achieve happiness if you just create it? But you can use technology to help you like the internet and computers. People use them in everyday life to help them with work or just for relaxation. I don't think its right to shield people from their true potential or "dumb them down" to the IQ of other people like in Harrison Bergeron.
