Like you, I am also a lover of technology for various reasons; among them I am fascinated by the evolution of knowledge and how it is applied. As for your question, the answer is yes; In fact, one of the main objectives of technology is to facilitate certain processes that would manually require more time, effort or sometimes money. Technology advances fiercely with time and over the years we see how inventions emerge that have more utilities than in previous years.
We see how online applications for phones or computers that facilitate many processes that previously would require our presence to be made arise. An excellent example is the management of banking transactions, the purchase of products over the Internet, until the simple search of any information or view the news (which no longer requires a newspaper).
Technology is beautiful as long as it is used for good purposes. As I said that its main objective is to make life easier, it will also depend on the vision of its creator.
I recommend you read a little about smart homes; they are the future and they are supposed to be designed to optimize and make life even easier for families, using computer and electronic tools. You can basically control your home from a computer or mobile device.
Finally, I leave as advice; not always because something is easier, we must depend on that, it is important to do things on our own so as not to fall into a sedentary lifestyle.
