That is a very interesting question. It actually depends on how you would look at it, but from my opinion, technology is using us (majority of us that is)more than we are using it. It is because we have become dependent on technology so much that we cannot survive without it (wifi, computers, an Ipad). Because of our craving for information, we always want the latest techie gizmos and businesses strive to make better technology. So in a shallow sense, we use technology to attain information but in a deeper sense, technology uses us to develop itself over the years.
Technology is using us because we are using it everyday in our lives. We have a choice whether we use it or not but now its so addictive and mind controlling, all we think about is our phones, televisions, ipads, laptops etc which suggests that technology is using us.
The description of Britain's foreign policy during the Victorian era is D. Fear of competition leads to cautious isolationism. There was no suggestion of 'British imperialism' as imperialism at that time has a strong connotation of dogma and politics as consideration for the acquisition of territory.
