tokens: Technology designed to make people's lives simpler often make them more complicated Many people think they are blessed to be in the era of high technology . With newly developing technologies, people are able to carry various tasks more convenient and easy . For example, we no longer have to travel to DMV to renew our driver's license or drive to bank for sending money . Ancient people would probably think that we are like magicians . However, even with all the conveniences, we would have to admit that technologies made our lives more complicated . There are couple reasons and examples to support my answer . Of course, new technologies are always great . However, it takes time for people to adapt them . Since we are informed with devices that are produced with new features nearly every day, many people often get lost . For instance, I use new Iphone which I personally think is great . However, even though I used it for couple months, I still do not know how to use all the features proficiently . At first, I tried to go through all the instructions but, soon, I gave up because I found out that it is time-consuming and there are too many things to learn . Next, technology destroys the language . Ever since people used computers or cellphones to chat with others, they created their own language to communicate . Because people try to type as fast as they are talking, they use a lot of abbreviations and broken language . This has gotten worse with twitter, myspace, and facebook . What are even worse, young people who are still in the early ages are exposed to them and impeded by the newly developed inventions . To clarify, my younger brother does not know how to spell the words correctly and he talks to his friends with terms that I have never heard of . I have tried to correct him for couple times but he just thinks that I am too conservative . Although technologies allowed us to have a convenient life, it has made our lives more chaotic according to the reasons mentioned above .
