Abstract :
The rate at which technology is improving has never been equaled at any other time. As such, there is an increase in reliance on this continually improving technology. We often rely on some product of technology for activities, from the alarm device that prompts us to wake up in the morning to the mobile devices and their various applications that accompany us throughout the day. As these products become more convenient and accessible, greater numbers of people tend to use them more frequently.
