Why is technology becoming more affordable?

What are the potential disadvantages of human beings becoming more dependent on technology over time?

• To those wishing to dispute the premise:

• Answer:

  Black swan effect of not having electricity. Technology at fingertips has already rewire our brain in recalling information. We now remember keywords to google for info instead of memorizing passages if required. Human are good at adapting over long time. As long as enough time is given, we can still rewire our brain to adapt. If suddenly we did not have electricity, we would have to plant, hunt for animals for food, it may pose a survival issue to mankind. My point is unless things happen fast, human race will be able to adapt and disadvantages will not be long term.
