Henry David Thoreau believed that in order to live well, we must reduce the number of material goods we have. Otherwise, these things begin to dominate us. I agree with this statement. People are very dependent on technology and purchased goods. For thousands of years people lived without electronics and many of the inventions we have today , and they survived and lived fine.
However, I also believe the amount of material goods we have at our disposal to use and purchase is very convenient and it shows how we have progressed through time. I think that technology can begin to dominate us if we become to dependent on it but, it is also very beneficial to the way we live in the world today. Without some of the material goods we have life could be harder and worse than with them.
