∙ 12y agoWhile a few people surround themselves with technology, a majority of people probably do not use 20 devices containing computer technology every day.
In the US, many people are likely to use all of these devices daily:
- Car
- Television
- Computer
- Cellular phone
- Microwave oven
- Alarm clock
- Digital thermostat
- Traffic lights
There are many other common devices that contain computer technology, but they are probably not used by a majority of people every day:
- Digital camera
- CD player
- MP3 player
- DVD player
- Digital timer
- Burglar alarm system
- Dishwasher with microcontroller*
- Washing machine with microcontroller*
- Clothes dryer with microcontroller*
- Refrigerator with microcontroller*
- Printer/copier
* While most new appliances contain microcontrollers, a large number of the appliances still in use have electro-mechanical controls.

What would happen if computer technology conquer us?
First of all, before we can answer this question, we would have to define what it means for the human race to be conquered by computer technology. We could assume two scenarios (maybe more): 1. It could mean that somehow, humans will be unable to complete their daily tasks and to satisfy themselves, because of computer technology. 2. It could mean that even if humans are able to complete their daily tasks and to satisfy themselves, it is only because computer technology has made them or allowed them to do this. In the first scenario, we are looking at computer technology as an oppressive force that is stopping people from doing what they want to do. In the second scenario, we are looking at computer technology as an enabling force without which human beings are incapable of doing what they want to do. To answer the question "what would happen", it would depend on which scenario we're looking at. Under some wide-spread occurrence of the first scenario, we would see people getting frustrated with computer technology. Computer technology is designed to help people accomplish things, and if it began to behave opposite to that then it is no longer serving its intended purpose. If people are being stopped from doing what they want to do by computer technology, they will probably find some way to take control of that computer technology and get it out of their way. This is why security systems which are controlled by computers are typically designed so that they cannot be taken control of by anyone outside of a trusted circle. Human beings would tend to rebel against this force of computer technology. If the second scenario were to become commplace across an entire culture, we would see people going along with what the computer technology forces them to do. This is because otherwise, they are not capable of doing anything. Because computer technology is designed to help people accomplish things, people see no reason to stop computer technology from helping more and more all the time. However, people need opportunities to grow and develop skills and abilities of their own. If humans become too reliant on computer technology, they will be unable to function without it. This is why some people who don't learn to navigate based on a sense of place, direction, resource, and risk, end up dying in dangerous places by strictly following the directions given to them by electronic navigation systems in their vehicles. Human beings would tend to go along with this force of computer technology.
