Technology designed to make people's lives simpler often turns out to make them more complicated.
Some people think that developed technology sometimes makes people's lives easier. However, I have a different idea for the following subsequent reasons.
To begin with, development of the internet provides people with too much information. Broaden opportunity for choice with the increased amount of information resources led people to make a decision harder. For example, last weekend, I bought the new bicycle by the internet. In order to make a proper decision, I searched a lot of site and products and compared to its advantages and price. Moreover, I asked to bicycle community site contains numerous opinion and comment based on actual experience. However, unlike I guess before the research, I could not make a decision easily. There were over 100 of the different model also many people's opinion was very different from each person. This too much information made me making a choice harder, I spent much of time to gather the information. On the other hand, when I was young, I just go to a nearby bicycle shop and choose the model just with the color what I prefer. Since I did not have to concern, it was less stressful than now.
On top of that, the smartphone makes people be close with the peer excessively. With the development of Social Network Service(SNS), people can keep in touch easier regardless of time and place. However, a lot of people became hard to relax after they back to home from the workplace. For instance, according to research from the University of Korea, after smartphone invented, 80% of the overall company's worker suffered from stress because their boss sent the message related work even after off work. Moreover, the amount of the message with co-work also showed increased 56% more than 10 years ago. With this increased contact with peers, a lot of people can not relax comfortably so this stress will have a negative impact on their quality of life too.
To sum up, people feel difficulty with the decision-making from the increased the amount of information and can have not personal place and relax time because of development of SNS.
In this regard, I agree that recent people's lives have more complexity than before due to the developed technology.
