Many people in developed nations have their homes filled with gadgets and work automating devices like vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and computers. Some people believe that this reduces the manual effort and contribute in saving time, while others argue that people do not have enough free time even after possessing these devices. I firmly believe that technology has improved the effectiveness of performing various day to day tasks and ultimately the quality of life.
Firstly, technological advancements have greatly improved human work efficiency. For example, devices like vacuum cleaner can clean the entire house in a fraction of minutes.
