#people #innovations
Today, technological innovations have become an essential part of our daily life. We are dependent on them for carrying out several tasks , both trivial and important ones. While some people are of the opinion that these inventions have benefitted is in many ways, others believe that they have given rise to several issues which cannot be ignored. In my opinion, the advantages of these things definitely outweigh their disadvantages. It is an undeniable fact that our life would not be the same without the various technologies and machines that we use today. They have made our lives easier and more convenient in many ways.

However
, they can be handled effectively through effort and handwork.
Hence
