Life was better when technology was simpler. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that our lives were more fulfilling when technology was less complex. I completely disagree with
this
statement and believe that technology has made life much better because smartphones save us time and the internet
has improved education.
New phones, such
as the iPhone, have made our daily lives much less laborious and have given us more free time. Tasks that used to require a lot of energy and time can now be done at the touch of a button. For example
, if people wanted to communicate with one another in the past, they had to write a letter, take it to the post office, and then
wait for it to be delivered, whereas
these days people can simply tap the email icon on their touch screen and send a message to whomever they want to communicate with within seconds.
The internet
has also
enriched education. In the past, students had to rely on a teacher and physical books for their education, and these were often either unavailable or in a format that most people did not want, but now the internet
provides us with more information than we could ever dream of, and this
has made us more independent and effective learners. For example
, there are now thousands of free online courses available on YouTube that anyone can watch and learn from anywhere in the world.
In conclusion, I believe that life has been greatly improved by technological advancements, particularly labour-saving phones and the learning opportunities provided by the internet
