Backed. Though I still like going camping out in the desert where phones and radios don't work.

How about, the mysterious of humanity...

Nope, it doesn't bring me together with my family because it only makes me more distance from them. Sure, it does isolate me in a very dark way.

Not at all, not the safetiest nor prepares me for the sake of my life, just makes me feel paranoid and I am aware of the dangers of Technology of a fucked society.

It makes me weaker to a point/a certain degree, but whatever. No it doesn't make me that much stronger, It ruins all of my relationships.

Sometimes it does and or other times it doesn't for me in general. Like if I were a robot programed by microchip shit.

Technology is a double edge sword that can be used for good or for bad, so basically it all comes down to free will.

Does technology bring us together? Or isolate us?
Whatever you want it to do. Technology created more ways for people to communicate with eachother, and made it a lot easier to talk to people in different countriess, for example my mom lives in Australia, and technology allows my mom and I to talk everyday.

Has it made you safer?
Security is illusion. Hellen Keller

Does it make you stronger? Or weaker?
neither, thats an individual human thing that has nothing to do with technology; with a few exceptions.

Does it empower us? Or enslave us?

either neither...free will. Kinda like the lemon scenario. If God gives you a sack of lemons, what do you do with them?

Whatever I want.

No, we dont always get what we want, but we get what we need. Free will = choices, what do you choose? Every moment in life, we are making choices. For example, when you wake up each day, you make choices on what you are going to do, what to where, your attitude, feelings, what to eat......

I guess whatever you want if its just you. But if another or more people are involved then their free will is equal to yours. Whether you agree or disagree.

No, I did not say that I get whatever I want. You asked what I would do with a sack of lemons. The answer is: Whatever I want.

I'm actually not a giant fan of lemonade. I'd probably just put them in the fridge and eat them for the next week/month (depending on how many lemons God gives me). Maybe he'd give me a few million and I could feed starving children :).
