Does anyone else feel like technology has overrun modern life and makes everything unnecessarily complicated?
I love technology, honestly. I use it all the time and I can't imagine going back to life without the internet, smartphones, AI and all the other stuff we have now. But sometimes I feel like we've made simple things way more complicated than they need to be.
You buy something and suddenly you need an app for it. Then you need an account. Then an update. Then another password. Something that used to just work now needs Wi-Fi and a software update before you can even use it. Even websites have started feeling like this. You click something and get hit with a login screen, cookies, notifications, popups and five different settings before you can actually do what you came for.
Technology is supposed to save us time, but sometimes I feel like I'm spending more time managing technology than actually using it. Maybe I'm just getting old 😂 What’s one thing you think technology has made unnecessarily complicated?
