Q. Some believe that technology has made our lives too complex and the solution is to lead a simpler life without technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The way we live today is very different from how our ancestors lived fifty or sixty years ago. Thanks to modern technologies, today we have almost all the amenities necessary for a comfortable life. A fair amount of people believe that modern technology has made our lives more difficult. They believe that we must learn to end this. Is it possible? Let's figure it out.

Modern technology may have made our lives more difficult, but it must be admitted that they have improved our lives in several other ways. For example, cars and buses have made commuting to work easier. Electricity literally brightened our lives. The air conditioner made the summer months bearable. Cell phones and the Internet allow us to stay connected wherever we are. Household appliances are a boon for housewives. Technology has also dramatically improved our productivity.

On the other hand, technology has also made our lives difficult. There is no escape from a permanent connection. Before the advent of mobile phones and the Internet, taking a break was much easier. People just had to pack their bags and go to the place where they like to relax. Now that mobile phone terminals are available in almost all parts of the world, people can never escape work or problems. Even on family vacations, few people can resist the temptation to check their work email. This need to constantly stay connected only made our life worse. Modern technology has also made us physically inactive and prone to developing a number of lifestyle-related diseases.

Does this mean that we must do without modern technology? By the way, it is not as easy as it sounds. Technology is addictive. It is not easy to live without the technological innovation that we are used to enjoying. Can anyone now imagine a world where we don't have access to electricity or telephone? The truth is we can't.

In conclusion, after analyzing the situation, it seems that although modern technologies have complicated our lives, we cannot do without them. What we need to do is use it responsibly.
