has technology gone too far?

in this post, i'll be explaining how i think technology has gone too far. Yes, it may have made life a lot easier in certain aspects - but what happened to the 'good old fashioned' way?

so lets start with the positives. firstly, it has made everything in life a lot easier. i'm quite interested in DJ'ing and lets just say that when this it started you needed a hell of a lot of equiptment, but now i can do it all from my laptop with simple things such as a DAW. this has made things a lot easier and cheaper (considering you can download these things illegally) also, you used to have to go out and buy CD's, but now, you can download the file with the song in. this means that certain resources dont get wasted to make the packaging or equiptment.
with things like Bluetooth, it means that you dont have the hassle of unravelling cables, with the same quality of sharing the information or file. i remember when i was 11, and all you had to do was download a song from somewhere like Beemp3 and you could send the song to anyone via bluetooth. oh, those were the days.
technology has also made keeping in contact friends a lot easier. first there was mobile phones, now there's mobile phones - with the same capabilities as a computer. there's also social networking. with hundreds of millions of people keeping in contact with things like Facebook and Twitter, communicating has never been so much easier.
travelling has also become much better thanks to technology. whether you want to drive more economically or faster - technology has enhanced everything. you have cars that can partially drive themselves, cars that can go as fast as a planes take off speed and many other things.

now, there's one thing that over shadows everything. and that thing is the amount of electricity that all of them use. yeah, there are ways of making all the technology use less... but the matter of the fact is that  more and more people buy high tech stuff, meaning that we consume more and more fossil fuels every day. at the moment, the world uses more than 90 million barrels of oil a day - expected to go up to 120 million by 2050. we've already reached peak oil, and the invention of sustainable bio fuels is slow.
everyone is also getting lazier with all of the tech. more and more people shop online instead of walking to the shops. what happened to the experience of shopping? wasnt that enough?
so, whether you think im right or not. everything im saying makes sense. the question is, what do we do?  there isnt anything really. theres no proper way of finding anything that will sustain the electricity hunger that we have.
after looking this stuff up, i prefer the old fashioned way. even if it means more work.
