Too Much Technology?

Author Gail Blanke writes this in her book, Throw Out Fifty Things:

"We're constantly bombarded from every direction by flying debris in another form: the news, the media.  On television, on the radio, on our cell phones, online, and in the air, we're deluged with what too often turns out to be life marble--garbage might be a better word: all the stuff that's gone wrong in the world, gone wrong in ourselves, gone wrong in our lives.  Or could go wrong.  Oh, I'm not saying we don't need to be informed.  We do.  We're citizens of a planet on the move, and we must know what needs to be done to keep it spinning forward.  But we can't move forward, we can't move at all, if we're locked inside a block of marble, largely of our own making." (written in reference to Michelangelo's statue of David)

Flying debris... I thought this to be an interesting take on current technology, social media, and all that we have easily accessible at out finger tips.  Does it really enhance our lives, or does it actually enhance complication in our lives?
