Are we becoming prisoners of technology?

I just heard of nomophobia, which is fear of being out of cell-phone range.
I was stunned that this phobia existed. It occurs, not surprisingly, at a much higher incidence in young people. (Since I lived most of my life without cell phones, I don’t have it.)
But when I think about exploration and the dangers thereof, and how mankind went out on all kinds of limbs to advance knowledge and explore, I wonder if the technology dependence is doing something fundamentally bad for us as a race.
What do you think?
