Can Technology help us live more naturally?

Can Technology help us live more naturally?

It’s an odd question – counterintuitive perhaps – but I believe it can.

If we think about a FitBit - one of the most common bits of health tech - what is it doing...?
 
Getting us to walk or run more. What's more natural than that?
 
Environment monitoring = healthy Air
Electric Bike = more exercise
Social App = more human connections
Fall Alarm = confidence to get out of the house
Online Learning = curiosity, sense of purpose, active mind
 
So if Tech can help us, or our parents, be fit, happy, and healthy, then I say "beam me up Scotty" (I really need to update my cultural references).
