Do you think people today rely too much on technology in everyday life? Why or why not?

B Natural answer

Yes, I do think many people rely on technology too much in daily life. Phones, apps, and smart devices are great because they save a lot of time, especially when you are working or traveling. But the downside is that people start to depend on them too much and stop practicing basic skills. For example, some people can't remember an address without GPS, or they can't do simple planning without a calendar app. That worries me a little. At the same time, technology is now part of normal life, so the goal is not to reject it completely. The better approach is to use it carefully and still figure things out on my own when it makes sense. In other words, technology should support our lives, not replace our own thinking.
