Answer the following questions based on the reading below: The Cost of Convenience In today’s fast-paced world, convenience often comes at a hidden cost. Many people rely on food delivery apps, same-day shipping, and subscription services to save time. These services promise speed and ease, but they also have serious consequences. One major effect of convenience culture is increased waste. Fast shipping requires more packaging, often using plastic or non-recyclable materials. Food delivery adds to this problem, with single-use containers and utensils that quickly end up in landfills. Another impact is on workers. The demand for speed means delivery drivers and warehouse workers are pressured to meet strict deadlines, sometimes risking their health. Convenience also reduces face-to-face interaction. Shopping in stores, borrowing from libraries, and dining in restaurants have been replaced with apps and screens. As a result, people may feel more isolated, even if they are constantly connected online. While convenience can be helpful, it is important to ask: What are we giving up in exchange for saving time?
