Thanks to developments in technology, many people today have lost basic skills such as how to repair clothes, etc. Why is this happening? Do you think that this is a negative development?
Skills define people's identity and capabilities. Unfortunately, a lot of people in
this
-day-and-age have lost simple abilities like, repairing attires or mending shoes. It can be attributed to the advancements made in the digital field. And, in my view, Linking Words
this
is a huge drawback as it is turning people dependent, as well as making them lethargic.

To begin
with, people in the modern world have a tendency to do and expect things quick, owing to the fast-moving world. Linking Words
For example
, city dwellers often approach a cobbler to mend or polish their shoes, or visit the parlour for a haircut. That means, the minutest of things is being done with the support of others and not by self. Clearly, people are loosing self-dependency.

Moreover
, for many, technology is their "life-saver" - they believe anything can be achieved with its support. Linking Words
For instance
, in the early days people were capable of accurately predicting time; Linking Words
hence
punctuality and discipline were crucial to them. That in turn helped them remain active and healthy throughout their lives. Unlike in the present day, many tend to wake up only by an alarm clock and cannot predict the time without their watches, converting people into torpid individuals. Linking Words
Thus
, people are not only loosing a lot of mastery by turning high-tech, but being adversely impacted.
To conclude, there is truth in the fact that technological development is converting people as dependants and sluggish, whereby making them lose their basic abilities. Linking Words
Hence
, I believe it is detrimentally affecting many.Linking Words
