The feeling somebody has when they have lost something, gives a clear definiton of their desires. The instant reaction is to get it back, and try to never lose it again. Though what happens when it has been gone for a substantial amount of time? The desire starts to fade and soon the thought of that object wears off. Our society is this way with technology. Technological advancements is a want not a necessity, and just like we did before futuristic inventions, we can live without it. This can prove Postman's point, that if our society is able to put oursleves through a long period of time without the use of technology, we would learn to not be so dependent on it.
