Hope we have lot of positive things along with the technology
including medical inventions.
But there might be a question all times, Whether it makes a wonder
for us?, the most probably the answer in Yes.
The impact of technology on our social, mental,
physical and environmental health can be devastating if we don’t keep ourselves
in check.
We will address some of the impacts here.
1. Lack of Social Skills
The use of online social media outlets causes us to meet
face-to-face with much less frequency resulting in a lack of much needed social
skills. We lose the ability to read body language and social cues in other
people.
2. Obesity
The more time people are spending engrossed in video games,
talking to friends online and watching funny cat videos on YouTube, they are
spending less time being active or exercising. Also the likelihood of
mindlessly eating unhealthy food increases as people are hypnotized by the
latest episode of Honey Boo Boo.
3. Depression
Technology creates the perfect recipe for depression with the
lack of human contact, overeating and lack of exercise. There is a reason the
use of antidepressants are on the rise and the blame can’t be completely dumped
on the pharmaceutical companies. They aren’t carting people into the doctor’s
office and force feeding them the pills. This isn’t to say that depression
isn’t a real problem, but some people could cure their depression by living a
healthier lifestyle.
4. Neck and Head Pain
Constantly looking down at devices can cause neck pain and over
time will cause the neck to lose its natural curve. Eyestrain can also cause
headaches, blurred vision and migraines.
These are all some major effects of developing technology, we have
more to be address.
