Negative effects of technology

[butcherme]

Technology is not always a good thing.

One example is with the children.
In the old days, children used to play outside with their friends.
Now majority of them are just staring at their iPads.

Children nowadays are cannot socialize well with other kids or people because they spend a lot of time in front of computer, ipads, laptop and other gadgets. Unlike kids who were born in 90's, kids during that time were very active and friendly, they play under the sun and even enjoyed bathing in the rain.

People became lazy because of technology, people think that they have a lot of friends and that they are sociable just because of social media. However, the truth is most of their friends are fake, out of thousands of friends you have on facebook or twitter don't even know you personally. People should not abuse technology.

Almost all things have bad and good effects. We all know that technology really helps us nowadays it makes our work easy and fast. Technologies should be use in a right way and we should balance also in using it. And for the children its not bad to introduce them in technologies as long as we well guide them how to use it in a right and meaningful ways.

technology can badly affect us if we allow it to be...these are wonderful inventions of our days that make our life interesting and enjoyable...and if this affects us negatively, then it's worth thinking about - maybe we are not doing something right

People become obese, with depression, pretend to be what they are not, lack social ties, become addicted to technology

In forums, social networks people pretend to be what they are not... they become actors  and have lack of empathy

Technology is good but it can be harmful if it is abused, mentally, socially and physically. Mentally, it can cause brain damage because of too much exposure to radiations. Socially, you can be a victim of fake news, and gossips. Physically, you will become lazy and fat, because you just depend in what technology can give.

The negative effect of technology now adays can be seen in our own household when each member of the household lock themselves in their own room busy with their laptops, ipads, cellphones and etc. The family have no more time for each other. No more talking no more bonding moment. Worse scenario is they even chat each other when they ask for something even the person is just in the other room. They are connected to the technology but disconnects to each family member. Sad truth.

Technology is helpful but at the same time it can be harmful because many people nowadays are so addicted in technology, like gadgets. Like me sometimes my eyes are getting blurry when i used gadgets over time, we should balance our using on it.

[shiki3226]

Technology, just like a knife can be used for good or evil. It depends on the one who wields it to use it for good or evil purposes thus we really can't say that it is a negative thing in itself. If we become too dependent with technology, to the point that we become lazy, then that is something that we would have to also address.

Technology can be useful in some ways but there are also negative effects like when get lazy because we forgot those traditional ways how to answer an question like in schools when you have an activity to do you only have to search about it.Online games can be attracted and addicted many teenagers and can lose their future .We depend on technology to live these days and It can help us but it depends in a user if she /he willuse it correctly.

Its better for the children to play with their IPads rather than they play outside with the super hot weather that can cause heat strokes. I remember there are already many students who join the athletic meets died due to heat. Pollution is a major factor and the climate changing why the children are always looking on their ipads.

But as a parent it is our duty to keep everything in balance, we must give time to our children to use the Ipads and a time to read books, watch television, chatting with the family, and other activities. It is not the fault of the children why they are focused on Ipads it just means that the parents are so busy that they give their children Ipads do they will not disturb them.

So if we dont want children to keep staring on Ipads let us not buy one and spend quality time with our children.

Good points mate. I agree as well. I think one of the negative effects of technology is the risk of having people get addicted to it that they don't become functional people anymore. It is unfortunate that this happens due to the fact that parents are supporting the trend of giving smart phones, tablets, and other gadgets to their children at such an early age that they become more accustomed with using them rather than going out and exploring their surrounding. Also, I think that it has it's health risks given the many news regarding radiation affecting avid gadget users and some devices exploding here and there.

Negayive Effects of technology. Children today are not known to work today as they roasted them cellphone instead of  Reading their lessons in school and make their assignment cellphone immediately their hold. They are and a cellphone they learned and some early marriage because of the distinguished Internet. Others are losing livelihood because of machines that work at all. As the harvest of rice, the machine also makes it, without the other profitable harvests of grain

Technology has lead to the production of weapons and bombs .That leads to the destructions of human lifes and property .This has also increase in abortion

Technologies can make convenient for us in order to make things easier. but overuse of electronic devices may cause impairment in the development of a child’s social skills example. ability to make friends in person, responsible for actions and controlling of emotions.

[Synnelaurie]

Technology has a negative effects because a lot of people use it in a wrong way. You can use technology in different ways through physical or emotional and so on.

[armarsterling7]

I agree with you. Technology is really essential for today's modern society but they really affect so many children. I no longer see children playing together anymore, I no longer see them playing folk games as before. Instead, they are always over-protective of parents and they are always forced to play indoors with electronic devices instead of working outdoors.

[Gintron]

People think less and less. They just sit in front of the screen. No matter if its the pc, phone, tv... I think the people should be more aware of the negative consequences of it. Remember that for every 45min you sit, you should 5 min walk or stretch to get you blood flow normally again.

[shaun98]

Yes, I believe technology only should be given to people who have self-control, if not, the negative effects will. I mean it can still be given to a kid, but parents must control the length of time kids spend with tech such as tablets and smartphones. Parents need to ensure their kids have a balance of tech and nature. In fact, this should apply to all individuals, young and old.

 We use technology so much and in bad way , we have to stop using it , we are wasting time with social media or playing games,   Why we aren't reading books

[ishel_d_r]

It has both good and bad. The easiness of work, time and manpower saving plus much more things as good. But the impact towards children is very severe as they don't need to use their brains when they have modern technology. Therefore careful monitoring is required when the children are close with technology.
