Original:

I think that modern technology made people's life simpler. One primary reason is that it forced creativity and enhanced productivity. Especially in pandemic, students cannot go to on-site classrooms. Modern technologies such as online communication and document editing tools enable students to communicate online with teachers and their peers to develop a deeper understanding of course contents. They can also get instant feedback from teachers even when they are remote from home, which really boosts productivity and quality of their course.

Revised:

I believe that modern technology has made people's lives simpler. One primary reason is that it fosters creativity and enhances productivity. For example, during the pandemic, students were unable to attend on-site classrooms. Modern technologies such as online communication and document editing tools allowed students to communicate with teachers and peers, developing a deeper understanding of course content. They could also receive instant feedback from teachers even when working remotely, significantly boosting productivity and the quality of their courses.

Another supporting example is the convenience brought by smartphones in our daily lives. With a single device, we can access information, navigate directions, manage finances, and stay connected with friends and family. This simplifies our lives by consolidating multiple tasks into one portable gadget, saving time and effort.
