While some people believe labour-saving devices

such

as dishwashers and computers makes our lives easier through automation, other people believe these devices creates more problems than it solves. In

this

essay, I will discuss why I believe modern technology helps to reduce stress by automating menial yet time-consuming tasks. Thanks to automation, persons are afforded more leisure time than if they had to manually conduct chores.

For example

, prior to purchasing a dishwasher, I have spent - on average - four hours a week washing dishes.

This

was stressful for me as washing dishes was the

last

thing I wanted to do after an exhausting day at work. And now that I have a dishwasher, I get to spend those four precious hours towards personal development- specifically reading more books and exercising. These labour-saving devices

also

help to reduce stress between members of a household. Family members are usually assigned chores and conflicts may arise when those chores are not carried out or done incorrectly.

For instance

, a teenager may be tasked with sweeping around the house. And if

this

does not get completed, his or her parents may ground the teenager and cause stress for all parties in doing so. A much simpler and reliable solution here would be to purchase and run a robot vacuum - these new gadgets even come with a mobile application that allows you to preset when and where the vacuums run! In summary, modern technology has alleviated some of the headaches caused by everyday manual tasks. Automation has and will continue to improve our quality of life and should be embraced.

Furthermore

, it has reduced the mental pressure among people.

In some countries, many people do not have enough money to access the internet. Should governments be responsible for ensuring that everyone can get access to the internet?
The Internet has changed the way we perceive day to day activities. It has affected major walks of life and given entertainment a new perspective. Majority of the western countries have digitally revolutionised and everyone has access to the internet while in other parts of the world it is still considered as a luxury. It is often argued that governments should be responsible for ensuring that everyone can get access to the internet. I personally do not believe that it is the government’s responsibility to provide free internet access to everyone as it is quite an unreasonable demand. In this essay, I will support my opinion with examples.
