Are we masters or slaves of technology ?

This question we have in frequently facing for more than last two decades but this question holds very little weightage from my point of view.To me we can niether be slave nor masters of technology.We share a relationship of mutuality or symbiosis with technology that is we and technology benifit or harm each other at equal rate and cost.
Technology from a simple pen to the internet facilities provides us almost everything at the cost of click of buttons. We can get every information from any part of the world in a fraction of second.Thus,technology serves us in a wonderful way.Going on the darker side of technology,we have to update ourself with the technology,so that we remain intouch with the technology to use it in a efficient way.
I do strongly believe that"Technology is expressing the genes of laziness in us at much faster rate".But on the other hand,it is also providing us a base to be lazy.Although, our generation is getting lazier yet there works has been going at the cost of mere pushes and clicks .The technology is a combined product of nature and human efforts that has been serving us from the era of stone age,but in turn we are also updating and modifing it for the best use.
Principle of yesterday is today's technology,but today's technology is a principle of tommorow.Thus, phenomena of technology involves the principles of change and modification for the betterment of mankind.The Service of technology demands updating from our side.Thus, "We can never be masters or slaves of technology because we share a relationship of mutuality of benifits with it.""
