Before we answer the question, let us first understand the term "technology". When early humans carved their first stone equipments (spears, axes, knives, etc.) did they know that what they were doing will shape the world, that was technology. From lifeless stones to life giving mirco-chips technology is everywhere. We can't even think of a day without technology, it has become an integral part of our life.
We have moved from caves to smart homes, pre-designed to meet our mood. They detect whether we are happy or sad, the walls change their colour, music players know what to play to make you happy. When you lie down on your bed it checks your pulse, your blood pressure and sends a report instantly to your doctor. Did our ancestors ever thought that our bed would be that smart, probably not.
So, now lets go to our question "why we need technology?". Well, the answer is simple. We need technology to live. We can't even imagine a day without taking use of technology. The food we eat to live uses technology to grow, preserve and get cooked. Drinking water takes use of technology to make it free from impurities. Our home sweet homes takes use of several technologies so that we can live comfortably.
Human beings need three things to survive Food, water and shelter. However, today, we need to add the fourth "technology" to complete our survival list.
