Technology/People's efficiency/leisure time??

In today’s complex world of technologies, some people think that the development of technology should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time. Conversely, some people argue that the problem is not the technology, but is because of individual habits. From my point of view, I think that technological advancement does not necessarily result in more spare time.

Admittedly, many people are more comfortable in today than in the past because of many innovations such as vehicle, computer and internet, to name but a few. Although these things reduce a lot of time that people have to spend in traveling, some people still have no spare time. This is because they lack in a good administration.


Moreover, not everybody has more free time owing to technological improvement. Nowadays, we are in the competitive world. To achieve their goals, some people take their leisure time to do other things or take another academic course to improve their qualities so that they are outstanding from others.


However, a lot of people benefit from the technological advancement. For instance, many urban citizens work so hard in order to reach their dreams, especially American Dream. That is having a nice car and a luxurious house. They, therefore, feel so pleasurable when they attain their goals. Also, they are pleasant with more leisure time that they have from the technological development.


In conclusion, many people get an advantage from the technological improvement, but not everyone. Some still keep themselves busy because they want to improve their quality all the time so that they can win over other opponents. Therefore, I do not agree that the technological advancement is not a primary goal to increase people’s efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time.
