Original:

I agree with the later statement because the modern technology lets some people who are older, their lives are more complicated. For instance, my grandparents who are 70 years old and they like to pay their utility fee by walking to the office where they pay for the cash or the check. However, in last month, the neighborhood canceled the walking payment. Every single one have to pay in the website. My grandparents have to open a lot of website pages to finish the payment process. It's more complicated than the walking ways.

Revised:

I concur with the latter viewpoint, as modern technology has made life more complicated for certain individuals, particularly the elderly. For example, my 70-year-old grandparents used to prefer paying their utility bills by walking to the office and making payments in cash or by check. However, last month, their neighborhood discontinued this method and mandated online payments. Consequently, my grandparents had to navigate through numerous web pages to complete the payment process, which proved to be more complex than their previous approach.
