Should common use technology stop advancing?


Some people are arguing that the advancement of technology should stop. But even though this is hypothetical since the advancements in technology will never stop until we have learned all there is to know in the world. But lets entertain the argument.

Should your personal feelings of advancements in common technology  stop me from enjoying it?

This is a point that needs to be addressed by people annoyed by new phones and technology like that, where they want each phone manufacture make one phone each and not complete with each other past their initial release. This is a very dumb stance that people are developing because they feel that they need to buy the newest phone. But they don't. If you do not want a newer generation phone do not get one simple. You not wanting a new phone or advertisements for new phones does not give you evidence for the halting of technology advancements.

What is considered common use technology?

This is something that needs to be told to some people because it seems people don't know that almost all adults are using common advancing technology that isn't a phone.
People against common technology advancements don't realize that some people have prosthetic limbs that they use everyday, people use cars, have computers, people use planes in urban environments 4 times a week, people need medical technology, people use apps on their phone everyday, people play games, people watch videos everyday, people use many different things in there everyday use.
Some of you reading this right now are wondering why I included planes or the prosthetic limbs or the bland use of medical technology. I used planes because something like a plane ride is getting less and less expensive. This is due to advancements in technology making the creation of planes less expensive and eventually with the advancement of technology the price of a plane ticket will be lowered enough for it to be viable for more financially stable people or small companies to be able to sent anywhere for work. The use of prosthetic limbs and the medical technology is to show that things that you may not think will affect you that things are affecting others everyday. To say you are for one kind of technology but not another kind of technology is something that shouldn't be forced on others unless it is endangering lives. If an advancement of a technology does not show harm to others why should someone conform to your views.

Can you fix the problem of technology distractions by having education systems addressing these problems with a designated class, and with more tech?

I do not see why we can not do this. Can the government not invest in a system where phone signals are blocked in areas in the future, Can they not get metal detectors to find phones and confiscate them, Can the schools teach students how to properly use a phone where they are not being rude. Can a School have indiscriminate rules where the breaking of these rules will have harsh punishments.
I do not see why not. Maybe it is hard to get these things to be a norm but it is a better and more longer lasting solution to this problem than stopping anyone who wants to stop advancements to technology.
