Negative effects of technology

[Capeshifter]

Technology has definitely negative and positive aspects, as anything. The point is not to overdo it. Too much of anything is not good (too much food, too much water, too much TV) and it's the same with technology. Sitting all day on your computer can have negative effects on your physical/psychological state. Always try to have a balance, and try to teach your kids the same thing

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.

I totally agree, things were much different when I was growing up. As a kid, I used to worry about escaping from my mom to meet friends and play outside. Nowadays kids worry about what to post on facebook and how to level up in on-line games. Excessive use of technology also has negative impact on our health. It develops poor eyesight and sleeplessness. I think technology is good if used in moderation.

One major concern I have with technology and that is the way we socialize in the future. It seems to me the more we use technology our social skills lessen. I particularly worry for the Igeneration

one thing is so sure the side effect of technology is that it makes people become lazy and physically weak. if you are facing computer for almost the entire day your body will have a serious problems in the future like getting fat, blurry eyes etc etc.

The negative effects of technology on me is it really drains a lot of my time. Some games or applications in your gadget can really waste a lot of time that must be allotted into important things. The other effect is the radiation. Many gadgets emits radiation that is not good for the human body. Technology also makes people lazy.

In this millennium technology is growing rapidly and all become easier to do. But we must be wise to use it in everyday life because technology can bring adverse effects. For example, make our eyes damaged for too long using a computer,children become lazy to learn and do not have many friends because fun to play online game, many teenagers involved in case of pornography because free to use internet and many more. For that we must be wise in using technology and do not depend entirely on technology so that we can benefit because of the technology.

Yeah it is really sad that in the past children used to play outside have some physical activity or some exercise,
Now most of the kids are just sitting in front of their computer.

There are many negative effects of technology nowadays, most of the children like to play to Ipads, netbook, or computer more than to play at park with others children. Inappropriate pop ups. Not just this, there are spams as well. If you click on something accidentally, explicit content can be sent to your friends. Some children don’t attend their class or cutting class because they want to play online game like dota, Cs:go, LoL etc.

Technology also affect our privacy because hacking gives those with their intentions easy access all your privy information. The help of the technology the Cybersex increase because some children exchanging nudes with another person via the Internet.

The use of modern technology often harms human life. Are we just like children studying in elementary and secondary school? instead of focusing on studying and doing homework? cellphone and tablet they hold. Games and social media apps often make it happen. It affects the youth, it may be that the parents are paying attention to this problem to their children, so they will not be lazy to study .

[Flapjackz]

Honestly technology is a blessing and I understand the negative aspects of it but one can argue that it has become infinitely easier to learn in the modern world.
Technology is going to have a positive effect on the learning process of our generation which will only increase, for instance if VR were to be implemented, we would have access to materials we have not fathomed before. In respect to the anti-social aspects of technology, it can in fact increase the social circles of an individual in shorter amounts of time, the closeness of these connections are debatable however.

yeah well, so much negative and positive results that mix up into the big question mark

when a boy starring at phone time by times, he has fallen to a journey into that negative and positive things. his eyes are officialy getting worse, he begin to find some sh*t things about internet, he stars to forget about outside playground. but in same time, he learns so much about knowledge from internet, having some best teachers from the creative education content from internet, perhaps he will find his new skills.

when we put kids into this issue, well i think the result gonna be .. mixed up but more with negative. but since your title tells me a wider subject than just kids. which i will put the other one, teen to adult.. my perspective's result is .. technology is such a good aspect of our current step of life, you are an teen to adult which you can controll your self well, better than kids. so you can separate the - and + from internet.

We can't deny the fact that there are positive benefits are gained from technological advancement,but as with all things in life the key is moderation. Some negative effects of technology that I know is lack of sleep,lack of social skill and lack of social privacy just like using of social medias (facebook,instagram,twitter).

But it is necessary to take into account the fact that modern technologies help to gain knowledge more easily if they are used in the right direction. Children can quickly find the information they need and solve different tasks using a computer.

There are several negative effects of technology..
1. Isolation - We isolate ourselves by walking around in our own little world, listening to our iPods or staring at the screen of the latest mobile device even when we are around other people. Studies have shown that people who are socially isolated will live shorter lives.

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.

3. Poor Sleep Habits - Some of the negative effects of technology can be linked to the effect it has on sleep habits. We get sucked into online activities that keep us up too late and the constant stream of information can make it difficult to turn off our brains. Keeping technology out of the bedroom would be a very healthy habit to acquire.

4. Stress - Constantly being “plugged in” and “connected” causes an extra layer of stress that wasn’t present before the overuse of technology.

5. Lack of Social Boundaries - Much in the same way that people over share on social media sites, there is an increasing tendency to cross social boundaries. Cyber stalking someone or sending unsolicited nude photos are examples of grossly crossing social boundaries.

6. Constant Distraction - When we are focused on a device instead of what’s going on around us we miss a great deal. Think of the number of times you have been texting or talking to a friend and missed the opportunity to flirt with the hot guy standing beside you. There is also a rise in the number of injuries incurred by people texting while walking.

I will say Social media (Technology) making people un-social. You can see this everywhere. Everyone is busy with these smart phones. No one bother who is sitting besides you. If your internet is not working then you can see around.
It is very sad situation :-(

[kingvirtus09]

Technology makes us lazy you know why? because after a stressful day at work or doing some activities at school after all you've done that day still you don't forget to handle your smart phones. anytime anywhere in the world we use Smart phones, we watch television, movies on computer anything are negative effects of technology people get lazy..

Its good for the youngsters to play with their IPads instead of they play outside with the super sweltering climate that can cause warm strokes. I recall there are as of now numerous understudies who join the athletic meets passed on because of warmth. Contamination is a central point and the atmosphere changing why the youngsters are continually looking on their ipads. However, as a parent it is our obligation to continue everything in adjust, we should offer time to our youngsters to utilize the Ipads and an opportunity to peruse books, sit in front of the TV, visiting with the family, and different exercises. It isn't the blame of the youngsters why they are centered around Ipads it just implies that the guardians are busy to the point that they give their kids Ipads do they won't exasperate them.

So on the off chance that we dont need kids to continue gazing on Ipads let us not get one and invest quality energy with our youngsters.

Everything in the world have good and bad affect but it mostly depend on the user of that thing. Just like technology the world is developing very fast because of technology and the life of a human become very easy because of technology but some people are using the technology for not right thing like for example someone can used computer for a very good work while some people using it for a time pass or some thing wrong.

[inevertell]

Technology have a a lot of good effects and bad effects on our life. Those people who have awareness they are mostly used technology for good works but those who have no awareness they are using Technology for bad things like using phone for bad works . so it depend how people use it.
