 At the beginning, I didn't think any AI technology was applied in my life. Because I seldom use Siri. And I don't have Sweeping robot. But when I searched the Internet and found out what are examples for AI, I found that AI is inseparable from ours lives. For example, like Youtube's algorithm for recommending videos for you is AI technology. I like to watch some recommended videos on Youtube. Because I can see some interesting videos that I haven't seen before. So I really use AI technology everyday life. 

 NO!! Technology brings me a lot of convenience.  Like Google Maps, good partner for travel. I can search for a lot of fun and interesting places. Although smart phone may make my eyes short-sighted. But if I have proper rest for my eyes, I can reduce the chance of short-sighted.  Technology allows us to understand the international situation and no longer only pay attention to the news of our country.  So I think technology is not harmful for me. I'm glad I was born in the age of advanced technology.
