IELTS essay on development of technology and life == THE TOPIC == Some people think that the development of technology has made our life more complex, and the solution is to live a simpler life without that technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree? == THE ESSAY == The advances of technology have greatly changed the way we live. Some people believe that our life is too complex compared to our ancestors’, and so they suggest that we go back to the life of the pre-technology era. Personally I disagree with this view. In my opinion, the technological development does not complicate our life, but instead it makes our life much simpler under many circumstances. While there are plenty of examples of this, the way that e-commerce has changed our life may be best to describe it. In the past we had to travel long distances to stores in multiple locations in order to purchase the items we wanted. Today online shopping has made it possible for us to sit at home and buy almost everything we want with just a few clicks. There are other examples such as tele-conferences which save the trouble to bring people from difficult parts of the world together, and software like Skype and Facetime which allow users in different places to communicate “face-to-face”. In fact, the goal of new technolgoies is to simplify people’s life instead of complicating it. On the other hand, although I agree that it sometimes a good idea to live without some technology for a while, it is not a solution to get the simpler life people want. It is not rare to see people who choose to get away from the online social network for some time. Their feedbacks are generally positive but eventually they all come back because simply living without the technology is not the solution. It is not hard to imagine if we give up technology development and innovation, human societies will move backwards rather than forward. In conclusion, it seems to me that the purpose of technology is not to make life complex, the quite the opposite, to solve problems in our life and make life easier. Therefore, giving up technology is not the way to have a simpler life. Instead, we should push forward technology innovation and make technology more user-friendly. (339 words.. too long)

Thanks Amal. I found some mistakes while I was re-reading the essay myself.
