It is crystal clear to me that technology has had a tremendous impact on our society, however, could this be leading us to a point in which we have got so reliant on technology that the society has changed so much that it would have become a dystopia?
On the one hand, owing to the people's concern, mainly generated by blockbusters such as "Terminator" or "I, robot", technology is being made so that the world could not be taken over by robots, or other catastrophes took place, so there is no point in being restless about that.
On the other hand, robots are not the only advancement to be concerned about. As it has been exposed in the Netflix series "Black Mirror", specifically in S1 E3, some other gadgets ought to be taken under consideration, concretely "life-replay technology", which, if used with a harmful or threatening purpose could have disastrous consequences. Furthermore, as it is shown in the episode, the main character drives himself mad due to the usage of that tech, what leads him to feeling sorrowful and miserable, a fact that exposes what would happen if that technology was applied. Nevertheless, not only would it be a brilliant way of remembering things, but also people could, for example work to tight deadlines more properly, or even live more buoyant and joyful lives, owing to the fact that they could focus on the positive aspects of life, by replaying cheerful memories on a regular basis.
All things considered, albeit progress is being made in a way that humans will not suffer from it, some gadgets like life-replay technology might have to be taken into account, however, in this case even though the positive aspects of life-replay technologies are quite tempting, its drawbacks clearly outweigh its little advantages.
