I literally get angry about a broken button on my sky remote.
Yeah, but those forgeters are a proper bitch when the buttons go. We had to get a new one when we couldn't use any number buttons.
If we were to throw away all technology we've created in the last 1000 years then our population would drastically decrease and average intelligence would drop immensely, along with quality of life.
We'd no longer have communication between continents, or across them, and even across single countries (or even States in America) would be slow and laborious without the aid of transport technology.
Healthcare would disappear and our ability to cure even the most basic ailments would dry up. Say goodbye to life-saving surgery or antibiotics or the ability to tell what's wrong with a person via X-Ray or MRI.
The ability for the masses to have education would be inhibited, as modern printing presses wouldn't exist and any single book would require a human person to copy the text out word for word in ink. (Should they rooster something up in copying no one would ever know). Only the rich would have books and therefore only the upper classes would become more educated.
Farming would suffer as our ability to produce GM foods capable of living in harsh locations or providing bountiful supplies would be gone. So too would our ability to protect crops from disease and infestation be limited.
These and much more are what we would end up with if we had no technology. We rely on technology greatly because it lets us live better, longer, healthier and more productive lives.
There's no way we could truly become too dependent upon technology. We need technology to thrive. It's vital to us. We have no other biological method for survival on a large scale.
Maybe socially you can find issues, but that's just the way that society evolves. Social technology is very much new (the last big invention really being the newspaper) and it will become the norm across the world as it already is.
In two generations time no one will question whether we're too dependent on those.
