Scenario: Technology Reliance

Scenario
Technology Reliance is what happens when our reliance on technology goes to far, when all of our major weapon defenses are controlled by technology, when daily life would cease to exist if we lost these privileges, when we realize that our reliance on Technology may eventually lead to tour demise.

Technology
Most of the present day jobs now have much more futuristic technology involved with them. Disability has been eliminated, with robotics allowing humans to have completely robotic limbs now. Moon bases have already been made, and more space exploration and projects are underway.
