some people feel that using technology is the best way to solve all our current and future problems in society, while others think we are becoming dependent and should focus on other solutions. Do you think that benefits of technology outweigh the possible disadvantages?

Some argue that society can apply technology to deal with every problem, while others say people are overly reliant on it. From my point of view, technical advancement has more disadvantages than advantages because people have been losing their problem-solving ability after asking for the help of machines too much and technology has been causing more social affairs rather than reducing them.
