Explanation:

Information technology streamlines tasks (e.g., communication, data management). This efficiency leads to better time - use, enabling more work/activities in less time.

Speeding up life (A) can cause stress. More friends (C) is a secondary, not the most significant benefit. Complicating lives (D) is contrary to IT's purpose.
