We are discussing digital technology—the electronic tools, devices, and systems that people find themselves engaging with now more than ever. When a new technology is developed, we often cannot know the extent to which that technology will be beneficial or harmful to society. So, consider this: based on what you know today, has digital technology made people's lives easier or more difficult overall? Why?

I think digital technology has made people's lives easier overall. Consider smartphones, for example. People can use apps on their phones to get driving directions, check the weather forecast, reply to emails, and do many other things from almost anywhere. Because of technological advances, more people can also now work right from their homes, eliminating the stress of unwanted commutes.

I sometimes think digital technology has made people's lives more difficult. One major problem is that people can become addicted to it. I have friends who were passionate about online gaming. At first, this seemed like an occasional hobby. But then they started spending their free time doing only that. They stopped pursuing their interests and even lost some friendships.
