Interviewer (Q1): Thank you for speaking with me today. I’m conducting a study about how technology influences people’s everyday lives. I’d like to ask you a few questions. To begin with, how often do you use digital technology, such as smartphones or computers, in your daily routine?

Interviewer (Q2): Great. People respond to technology in different ways. Some people feel that technology makes life more convenient and efficient, while others believe it causes stress and distraction. How do you personally feel about the role of technology in your life? Why do you think you feel this way?

Interviewer (Q3): OK. Next, I’d like to ask for your opinion. Some people believe that constant access to technology improves communication and helps people stay connected. Others argue that it reduces the quality of face-to-face interaction. Do you agree that technology improves the way people communicate? Why or why not?

Interviewer (Q4): Good points. Let me ask you one final question. In recent years, many experts have discussed whether schools should rely more on digital tools for teaching and learning. Do you think educational institutions should increase their use of technology in the classroom? Why or why not?
