Could you leave with less
"Could You Live with Less"
The main idea of the essay "Could You Live with Less" states the opinion of the author about technology. According to this author, "technology comes at a serious cost to the planet and most of its people". It is hard to argue with this author about how we can restrict our needs by using less technology. However Mills believes that technology has more negative then positive influences in our lives. Mills is proud to live simply, restricting herself to technology. This author uses technology just for basic need; she has a telephone and car because she needs connection with people. Her decision to restrict technology usage is profitable for herself since she doesn't need to pay bills for heat or television. As she saves money, she can afford to own a huge property with a beautiful view. Mills is a writer with an unsteady income, so she probably would have trouble paying urban expenses. She enjoys nature and her big house and I believe it is a part of her inspiration for work as a freelance writer. I think depend of the person, we cannot generalize. A lot of peoples really depend of the technology to work and study. A good example to support this idea is my mother, she has a website in Brazil, in our small city called Granja Vianna, everyone who wants to announce do it on her website. So, she depends of the technology and she stays most of the time connected. Other good example is me; I am always connected throw computer or phone on Google when I am studying to improve my works. Without this technology I would have more difficult to learn, which is an essential thing.
On another hand the society use the technology all the time, when it is not essential. I think this point of her opinion is really important, a lot of people use technology exaggeratedly. I am living on this environment and I know peoples use this on the wrong way, as they are in class or even
