Negative effects of technology

[numismatist]

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.

That is bad enough, but when you add the long term effect I has on people the results are devastating, obesity is one of the problems that technology has brought to us, no one walks everyone wants to drive their car for even some of the shortest trips, kids stare at an ipad instead of running and playing sports.

Almost mistook obesity with obsession. There are fitness trackers exploring the markets just as a light on horizon. An iPad per se isn't anything damnworthy, at least it trains the brains and that is a scarce resource in a technologist country.
Unless Angry Birds, of course.

As of now,more people are addicted in computer but they result a negative effects in our society. When we observe others wasting his money for gaming that result of not taking his food or they don't want to go in school to take the subject.

See how many people are suffering from obesity. Maybe it's the opposite well if they are distracted by computer games and there be less? Any technology designed to improve human existence, but he not always uses them for good. Maybe the fault is not technology, but people themselves?

But we also need to stay updated about events/news in every second of our lives now.

Most of the recent jobs are demanding people like that. If you are not aware of the recent news you can easily become ignorant/obsolete in a matter of seconds.

That's not different with the kids tbh.

No more time left to play with friends, riding a bike or playing basketball. If you want to enter a good college, you have to work your ass off. And an ipad is the fastest way to do so. (that's if unless your father is rich ofc)

Playing stupid shit on your ipad is definitely moronic on the other hand. Go walk on the street instead of doing so. It is healthier.

It is healthier only if you live near the forest. In the cities the air is that it is not known that it is better to stay at home or close to home. You have seen what is happening on the streets of Beijing?

Well let's just say that it depends on the environment that were in. Here in our country , it is more on fresh air and no technology places, which is a really remote place. Though I still barricade myself using the walls to stop the titans from entering.

Yep. But sometimes it can cause good effect to the children in a way to control time and there parents Need to discipline there children

[Okurkabinladin]

About the OP. I dont see kids finding new ways of entertainment to be bad at all. Afterall our parents were scoffing at us for watching television or playing ninjas all the time.

Rather the problem is more broad and start with adults, not children. We are taught that technology make us more efficient, yet people who are surrounded by it become very complacent. More slaves than masters in my opinion.

Technology can have features of "golden cage", false pretense of safe space, that can collapse with something as banal as power blackout.

Technology is not to blame for the negligence of parents. No one is forced to give an iPad to their children, but in that case we always have the responsibility of adequately guide our children to use these technologies in the proper way, providing the enough education to prioritize the human relationships and respect to others rather than wasting time in videogames.

Communication technology has a dehumanizing factor in relationships. Here you see many people offending, scamming or cheating on online games, because they tend to not think of their opponent or counterpart as human, but as a machine. Allows us to reach further but not in a proper human way.
On the machinery, it makes humans less necessary for production, removing a bit the distraction and bringing forth the unbearable weight of our uselessness.

I think what's worst about today's technology is how easy it is to access anybody's personal data anywhere anytime, and invading his private life.
Governments are spying on their citizens and it's just not right.

Husbands and wives now can cheat with each other even while they are talking in front of each other with phone or any communication gadget in between them. What more if the other one is away or sleeping.

It's true that gadgets could make life easier, but we are abusing the use of it, and that gives a negative impact most specially on relationships.

 I found some article on google with perfect answer, you may also read this.

Advanced technologies in the form of computers can cause people to depend on these machines too often. Excessive dependency on technology can create problems when machines malfunction, creating a virtual halt of daily operations. Humans are essentially powerless until the machines are back online, which can cause people to lose their self-reliance.
There is also no need to memorize a map when GPS is in place to automatically lead the way, and people can begin to lose their sense of direction. There is also little need to memorize phone numbers, because smart phones automatically program contacts with ease. The autocorrect function during typing eliminates much of the need to pinpoint mistakes and correct them manually, and there is evidence that some people are becoming lazy when typing.
Humans also stand the risk of being phased out in favor of automated robots. A single machine can typically handle the work of 10 people, allowing companies to save money by not hiring more people. Advanced machines in the workplace can have even more serious consequences on the labor force.

Stalin in Russia has followed all the millions of inhabitants and the absence in those days, gadgets are not prevented to do so. It seems to me that not having access to your gadgets your neighbors know more about you than you think.

I think technology has more positive effects than negative as it makes our life much easier and simpler to organize. On the other hand technology has only one minus and that is it can become you dependent to it, you can't do anything without it. This happened to me when I first started working and since I was always used to use electronic gadgets and devices and of course computer this company asked me to keep track of everything in hard paper. I had a lot of difficulties in the beginning until I convinced them that computer is created exactly for this purpose to remove hard paper.

Children must develop and cognize the world around them. I did not have a computer and a mobile phone in my childhood. I really liked my childhood, because playing with real friends is much steeper and more interesting. I will not let my children lose this opportunity and will allow me to spend at least 1-2 hours at the computer.

[Altas]

In our present world we have machines for each and every thing. One way they can make our life easy  but in another way they make people sick physically and mentally. Because of machines we lost our regular exercise and we lost our relationship with our neighbors. So it is in our hand using machines for good or bad way.

I think that in moderation, technology is a good thing.  I don't really agree that children just sit around on technology, I think that this is an exaggeration of the actual situation as young people are still genuine individuals and don't restrict themselves.

I agree with you. Gadgets do not interfere with the filling of Nightclubs. It seems to me that the lack of interesting alternatives is the reason that people spend more time on the technology.

Good thing about technology is that we can improve our daily lives but as the time passes by people become slaves of technology or should i say that people became more reliable in technology coz you can work without exerting much effort.It also triggers health issues such as eyesight problem due to radiation and which is also the cause of some mental illnesses.Our body may not be working too much but it gives our brain and eyes overworked.When compared to older generations they were exerting effort but it keeps their mental health and physical health balanced.
