Does modern technology make life more convenient, or was life better when technology was simpler?

A little of both!

2 sides to it

on the one hand, technology greatly speeds up simple tasks.. where previously man had to do manually. A simple example is domestic appliances like food processor, washing machine. Technology also enables man to achieve great feats, for example the airplane makes the world smaller, so does the Internet.

On the other hand, it can make people lazy. Personally, one technology I have a love-hate relationship with is the mobile phone. The good thing abt it is that it is very convenient. The bad thing is that people can change appointments so easily!

It depends... Sometimes technology and the fast development cause only good things, and sometimes only those bad...Once for sure, it may cause depression, and it makes people forget about the real life. It is more common now to use mobile phone to talk to other people than meet them and talk normally. Well, it also makes people much more envy about what other people have. It is not very good, especially for the young people who is groving up without knowing the most important values.
