The beliefs about effects of technology divide into two groups. The positive side thinks it makes our life easier and others believe it brings more stress and complexity to our life. However, I believe that both sides are true at different points.
For the beneficial side, people can connect and communicate easily with technology. This connection helps us in our daily life. For instance, people do not need to go library for doing research anymore. They can find whatever they want in the internet which is developed by technology. Furthermore, they can spend their time to not waste for reaching the library. Also, people can work or study whenever and wherever they want. So, it gives us a flexibility.
On the other hand, technology affects our life badly to protect our privacy and shortens deadlines for our works. With technology, most of new things entered our life such as social media. These networks can reach our life deeply and analyze our routines easily more than ever. In this way, many people can learn the details from our private life. Secondly, in the work or school, deadlines of task can handle quickly due to the accessibility to the technology. For example, managers or professors can finish their tasks earlier, so they can have more workload.
To conclude, technology includes both advantages and disadvantages. It gives us a flexibility but makes our life harder. This trade-off must be accepted from people who use technology and they can try to turn this in a positive way.
