Negative effects of technology

[BADecker]

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.

They are playing with their friends still just not outside. Ever heard of multiplayer games?

Well I guess they do. But still it feels really different from the way childhood supposed to be.

I grew up playing outside with my friends. We didn't have computers or consoles back then. Even when we did get them (Atari 2600) we still played outside more than on the TV. I guess times have changed people. Fear of getting your kids kidnapped and the easy on hand babysitter, the computer/console/TV. I think we made them this way. The adults fault not the kids.

That's the point of everyone being armed. Put an armed adult baby-sitter out with the kids, and there won't be any problems. But if there are, the neighbors will be over to help.



EDIT: At least give the adults some claws for Christmas to protect the kids with, right, Santa?

Why do you think that someone is guilty of something? What's wrong with the kids more sitting home at the computer than walking in the street? I'm not worried. People always adapt to the conditions in which he lives.

I'm looking for a substance that can be sprayed into the atmosphere, that will kill off evil in everyone, and enhance the good about 100 times. Consider how beneficial such a form of technology would be.

There's a lot of negative effects of technology nevertheless, there is a lot of positive effects. Comparing drugs and technology, as we can see, drugs can make you stronger and relieve some pain on your body, but also, if drugs abusively used, it can damage your mind and brain, it can lead you to overdose or sometimes death, like our technology, ipads, iphones, computers, and other technology used, when a child always use ipads, it can lead to blindness, and sometimes can be addiction.

I think the negative effcts of technology in our society is that it teaches the young generation to become lazy I mean if you can just look around you your gonna see that with just one click everything is already there for you there is no need to do some effort and young generations today have very low self esteem that may affect them in the near future

Actually I too am guilty of this. Even simple math algebra and questions, I would almost always try to resolve it using my phone or my laptop. This is significant as this can actually cause my brain functions to deteriorate.

The technology itself is not negative. What always matters is how people use it. In fact, such problems always happen. People are always complaining about their generation differences.
Do you think this is a problem for children born in so much technology? Are children complaints about spending time with iPads or playing computer games? Will these children have similar complaints for their children in the future?

I agree with you. Just informed generation to grow up on other principles. Fathers will never understand children because they subconsciously seek in the past, where they all knew and where he stayed their youth.

I think that these differences will decrease with the developing technology alone. Generation conflict will be experienced less. Today, everyone is living with technology. At the same time, everyone consumes technological products. People who live by sharing common values will have fewer conflicts.

It isnt really a good thung are you sure? Or people just did abuse using it like relying to technology too much that is where the problem started. Well we cant blame us it helps our life becomes more easy so why would you walk around miles if you can ride a car

And what makes you think that your brain is deteriorating? There is the space and you can switch to other tasks. What's wrong with that? All people who have achieved something bigger they spetsializiruyutsya in only one direction. In other they are like children.

Yeah technology is like knife, its depending how and who is using it. With technology, it make our life easier then the past decade, but ya i agree with you, in my place its like you said, in old days i always play with my friend outside now i see most children only staring at screen. It cant be blamed to technology, one of the reason is there is no playground anymore. The only choice is VIRTUAL REALITY (not visual reality)

[Hydrogen]

In the past, some have compared technology to the One Ring from Lord of the Rings.

 

I don't know if the analogy fits. It would be nicer if technology could encourage us to become more moral and responsible.

Any reality for people who live in it are very real, even virtually. The fact that you don't believe in it it does not mean that it does not exist. Technology helps to live. Moreover it increases productivity which led to the global crisis.

Atomic bombs helped to live a better life indeed

You could say that. Nuclear weapons a very long time is a limiting factor. I am sure that if it was not the third world war would long ago have been with a huge number of victims. Isn't it a positive fact?

No, you seem misunderstand what i said. What i mean is only VIRTUAL REALITY can solve the problem because its not just visual but virtual. We can create a place which childrens can play comfortable together. Ya not just that, it will help in millitary, medical, study, recreation / relaxation, and so on. But our technology currently still far away from this virtual reality

I agree with you. But I think that in today's world there are more important issues. I believe that the most important problem is the high cost of travel and transportation. All scientific effort should be focused on the transition to alternative cheap sources of energy.

This is the good example of negative effects of technology, for me, Ipads and other new technology must have a age limit. Children sometimes are not now well known about the old games, they are not familiar with the child songs, but know, they are all own their own, holding Ipads and other new technology. They are not playing outside with their friends, they are not experiencing what does the happiness of playing with their friends.

But what are those negative effects? Abusing the technology is not a negative effect. One can abuse every single substance in the world. Think about it, you can use fuel to run your car, but you can also use it to start a fire and burn down a building.

I agree, but the purpose of creating technology is to make human life more easy, but in the end it make people become lazy and depended on technology, for example, math, just use calc and done, its fast and easy even if u dont know much about math.

I agree with you. Technology can have negative consequences for the person. This person directs technology harm. People do the harmful organism on earth. I am sure that the harm from technology are highly exaggerated.
