Some believe technology has made our lives too complex and the solution is to lead a simpler life without technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

A number of individuals say that
over dependence

 on
technology
 has made our
lives
 complicated and the answer to
this
 issue is to abandon the
technology
 and lead a simple
life
. I majorly disagree with
this
 approach as it would not be a practical solution to
this
 issue. Presently, almost every person is handcuffed to
technology
 in one or another way. A temporary loss of the internet connection,
for instance
, makes these
people
 helpless which ultimately makes them frustrated and anxious. If these
people

 alternatives (
such
 as socialising with
people
 or doing a hobby),
then
 it will be less troubling for them.
Thus
, it is not the
technology
 that makes our
life
 complex, it is the overuse of it.
Therefore
, restricting

usage can help
people
 in many ways. Another point I would like to add is that it would be nearly impossible to completely abandon
technology
 in today's world as willingly or unwillingly, the person will have to use
technology
 in order to keep up with
this
 world.
In other words
, some
people
 may argue that just like

 and easy.
However
, I can say that
people
 have made themselves so habituated
with

to

technology
 that even if they want to stop using it, they would not be able to.
For instance
, if the person decides to not touch

, it will not be practically possible as

. In conclusion, it can be said that it is not
technology
 that has made our
lives
 complex, it is
over dependence

 on

 that has created
this
 mess.
Therefore
, abandoning the usage of machines is not going to help us, rather limiting the use will be fruitful. After all
technology
's purpose is to complement our
lives
, not to run our
lives
.
