For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay titled “Are people becoming addicted to technology?“. The statement given below is for your reference. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 

The statement that addiction to technology is real and has the same effect on the brain as drug addiction is supported by numerous studies. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the amount of time that people spend using technology, and this has raised concerns about the potential for addiction.

One of the key factors that contributes to technology addiction is the way that technology is designed. Many technology devices and apps are designed to be engaging and addictive, using techniques such as rewards and notifications to keep users engaged. This can create a cycle of dependency, where individuals feel the need to constantly check their devices and stay connected. Another factor that contributes to technology addiction is the social pressure to use technology. In today's digital world, it is often seen as normal and even necessary to be constantly connected to technology. This can lead individuals to feel like they need to use technology in order to keep up with others, even if they are not enjoying it or if it is having negative effects on their mental health.

To conclude, it is important for individuals to be aware of the potential risks of technology addiction and to take steps to manage their technology use.
