Has technology become such a big part of your life that existence without it seems impossible? "The modern world has completely absorbed modern technology, so this problem is more urgent than ever. Now we live in the age of information technology, when life without gadgets seems to us already unreal.I believe that in my life of technology play far from the last role. For example, every day I use a computer and phone, both for entertainment and for important purposes. For example, using a computer, I can write a report by going online and learning about the problem from different sources. And I can use the phone to communicate with relatives who are far from me.But, nevertheless, technology is far from the first place in my life. Because I often communicate with peers, I attend various events. In other words, technology can never replace live communication. Although they have become an integral part of modern life.Is it possible to exist without technology? I think yes. For example, before people completely did without modern gadgets and lived quite not bad.Thus, it turns out that technology plays an important role in our life, but not the first. It is possible to live without them, but they improve the quality of our lives and in many ways can help.
