Technology, while apparently aimed to simplify our lives, only makes our lives more complicated.

It is undeniable that technology has helped simplify our lives to a
large extent. With the advancement of science, new technologies are
invented regularly and the aim is always to improve the quality of lives
of mankind. I disagree with the claim in the question.
Connectivity and communication has improved like never before, thanks to
the present era of smart phones. Smart phones not only enable us to
connect and talk verbally with our near and dear ones, but also provide
an easy medium to connect with the entire world through internet.
Communication is no more limited to just talking or sending a message,
people can now participate in fun activities such as online games,
puzzle solving or creative works such as making a presentation or an art
work together. Communication has improved by leaps and bounds with
obvious credit to the smart phones. Smart phones have clearly eased our
communication and connectivity and hence is an example of how technology
has simplified our lives.
With technology receiving a boost in the 20th century, smart home is
another revolutionary achievement. Every appliance inside a smart home
is connected and aware of the surrounding. The temperature inside a
smart home gets regulated automatically with sensors that detect the
room temperature and the outside temperature. Home appliances such as
lights and fans can be turned on/off with a request by voice of a
person, or a gesture with hand. Smart homes, clearly is another major
milestone and confirms the fact that technology has definitely
simplified our lives.
However with the increasing dependency on technology, humans face a big
challenge doing simple things when technology fails or is insufficient.
For example, many people have difficulty living in a room which is not
air conditioned. Others cannot think of living a day without having a
smart phone. Thus it is incorrect to dismiss the fact that technology
has not complicated our lives at all.
As stated above smart phones have immensely simplified communication
across the world. Smart homes have enabled humans live in an environment
where every household chores can be done with minimum interaction. These
clearly justifies that technology has simplified human lives.
