Is technology making people lazy?

No one could deny the fact that we are living in an age where the advancements of technology

are continuing to accelerate and changing every aspect of our life. At the same time, there has been

widespread public debate over whether technology can make people lazy.

On the one hand, some people hold the view that technological advancements have really

offered more convenient and effective choices for us to communicate, learn and work. For example,

learners are flooded with learning opportunities at their fingertips. But on the other hand, there is

a risk that technology can make people lazy. This is due to the fact that modern people nowadays

are heavily reliant on technological inventions. For instance, many young people always indulge in

online social media platforms or computer games and thus are reluctant to do physical exercise on

a regular basis. Besides, some students depend on using a calculator to work out simple math

problems.

In conclusion, technological advancements can bring us both benefits and problems. In view

of the risk mentioned above, I highly suggest that we should avoid relying too much on technology.
