I was inspired to make this thread by a convo I started based on the Extinct Black Rhino thread, with Nica (her idea), Derk and Drakow.
Basically, we started about talking how I can't believe how another animal species had gone extinct. Someone said that that is what happens when humans are greedy, but I disagreed. I said that it was in the nature of humans. We have the power and technology that the animal kingdom does not have, and we abuse it and cheat nature's rules to take over, is my opinion.

Now, at one point, I said that we wouldn't be able to survive, if we didn't have the technology that we had right now. I said that I thought that was because technology is in our system, and our habits and instinct have adapted to it. As a matter of fact, I think that it is making our survival instinct unecessary, because technology is doing all the work for us and we are used to it. Our own survival instinct is fading away because of it, in my opinion.
I think that if technology would disappear, or if we wouldn't be able to rely on it anymore, that the majority of us, wouldn't be able to survive. I think this because we have relied on it for so long, that our survival instincts just watered away because it wasn't a necessity for us to survive anymore.
[edit] Also, I must say reading the comments up till now that I do agree with the fact that we would be able to adapt, eventually, because we still have the knowledge. But like Toujours said, I believe that it would definitely take us more than one generation.
-How do you think that technology has influenced us and our means of survival?
-How do you think things would go if all technology would be to disappear or let us down?
You can answer these questions and use them as a base for discussion.
