how the technology and gadgets are affecting the mind and health of people. is it in more negative way or is it in positive way??

It has also negative and positive way such as they know about a thing that are bad in their early age.  Gadgets and technology can help some problems but some people being too addictive to gadgets that can affect to their daily lives.

Yes i agree, impact of internet and technology has two side, bad and good side effects.

These Bad Impact
On our social, mental, physical and environmental health can be devastating if we don’t keep ourselves in check. There’s no denying the benefits we have gained from technological advancements, but as with all things in life moderation is key. Being aware of the harmful aspects of the overuse of electronics will help you avoid any unnecessary pitfalls. Social isolation is characterized by a lack of contact with other people in normal daily living, such as, the workplace, with friends and in social activities. 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. 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. 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. 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.

These Good Impact
It is easier to do research, before electronic means of gathering information, students or researchers needed to pay a visit to libraries to access materials relevant to their research topics. Communication with family, friends and relatives is faster, gone are the homesick days because a son or daughter can now easily contact their parents online. There is a great possibility to earn while working from home, it is now possible to earn online through writing, filling up forms, or even just clicking away on advertisements in the internet. Faster business transactions and cheaper products, sellers and buyers can now transact through online paying facilities like Paypal or credit cards. Savings on travel cost, through the use of the internet, it is possible for executives or business managers to do teleconferencing. They do not need to meet physically just to discuss matters.

My opinion, keep it balance guys, we need our society life, face-to-face met peoples, parents, etc.
Those internet and technology created for good, so use it wisely.

[ElaineGanda]

It's ok if you use it wisely, but it's taking off people's time and personal space so easily that you might know even notice until you start getting headaches, anxiety problems and troubles sleeping

Albert Einstein already know that the time will come that people will become lazy, idiot and weak because of technology. At first it helps a lot to us human but if it doesn't use wisely and responsibly it will become vice.

[Bit Log]

Internet and technology has a good and bad effect to the people today. It has help people in many ways, in communication, it is now easy to communicate with other people in a long distance, even if they are in a different country, internet has connected us to them. It help us to share our thoughts  to others to influence them. This part of internet help us in many wards. In business, education and many others. But there is also a Bad effect of the internet. Internet also is used by criminals, they are use to do bad things. They are use to share dirty videos like porn and other dirty things like rape and pedophilia videos. They can also use it to communicate with other people that has the same bad things as they have. And also, internet today makes people so lazy, making them lazy makes people fat, and unhealthy. So internet today makes human life short.

it is Depend on use but Negative site now became more popular than positive

[squog]

Information is readily available, the problem is some of them wouldn't be verified as fact or opinion. Some, if not most are plain conjectures. Both these information affects how we think in a certain topic. It sways us to think a certain way. Good thing is, especially when faced with a topic with multiple sides, you could get perspective on both.

[thenameisjay]

It's really more of both positive and negative. More like a pros and con kind of deal about internet and technology. Let me list down what I think good and bad effects of internet and technology:

Positives:

Information is always read and ripe for picking
Information is wide and free
Convinience of access of these informations
Knowledge is practically free
There are always innovation for health and wellness

Negatives:

Hard to maintain unlike libraries
No privacy
Internet addiction is actually really unhealthy
Leads to obesity and laziness

In my opinion, it's more of a positive side when you really ate dependent on information.

[ibrohim]

internet and technology can affect on human behavior, on society, on work or modern business. and the use of social networking sites has both positive and negative consequences. positive effects of it are as the media of communication, exchange for data, media for searching and obtaining information, ease of transaction or business. negative effects are porn, violence and gore, deception, gambling, addiction, and so forth.

[olubams]

The impact of technology and internet today has come to define our very own existence and it seems we cannot even do without it. From the social media to the banking system, insurance, health system, data base management, security, air travels, everything concerning transportation have come to rely on the those two fundamental innovation that have happened to human existence.

[greenclub09]

It's not like you say if there is no technology, then all smart devices will not come out. No human technology will be more comfortable on the device in the house, anti-theft .... Technology is the future it is also good and bad face that 

[MostHigh]

Our world is providing to be more great with internet technology, years ago we were receiving from abroad after many days, today i get live updates and i can even choose to watch most events live by streaming. I dont feel off tune with the outside world like i use to do some years ago. I have access to every information i need online i just have to search the right place to make sure am not getting the wrong information. I believe we are living in the best times the world has ever witnessed because of internet technology and it will keep getting better and better

[allthingsluxury]

It affects people differently. Some, who can't harness the positive qualities of it, are ultimately negatively effected. Yet, never before have we seen so much power and knowledge placed back into the hands of the "everyday" man and woman. The internet has been the greatest innovation of the modern era.

[Ereun]

technology used for health has been a lot and as auxiliary tools
but the use of excessive technology or addiction has a bad risk, such as the use of handphonds that exceed the limit
so there are positives and negatives

[klebsiella]

Positive
-  Research is made easy especially for students.
-  Easy means of communication, even if our friends and relatives are on the other side of the world.
-  Can earn through online jobs and forums.
-  Updated News, Events, research and breakthroughs.
-  Entertainment.
-  Faster transactions (ex. bank, shopping)

Negative
-  Social media and games sometimes becomes addictive.
-  Sometimes it becomes a media for extortion.
-  Because it can easily be accessed, children can be exposed to violent and indecent videos.
-  Fake news can easily be spread.
-  Rude comments, false accusations, bashing becomes uncontrolled.

[boulecoin]

On politics this will be huge. We are working on a blockchain voting solution to help increase voter numbers.

[mwaqar17]

If we look at the overall picture then its showing negative impact. Due to excessive use of technology we are going very far from books. Most importantly internet and technology is effecting out health very badly.
Wise use of internet and technology is very good for us. Now whole world is one click away from us but we are abusing this instead of getting maximum benefit. Our children....... now  a one year kid cannot survive without smart phone. In some countries certain rehabilitation centers have been developed for children that cannot live without mobile phone. That is really an alarming situation.

how the technology and gadgets are affecting the mind and health of people. is it in more negative way or is it in positive way??

I think humanity progressed a lot because of internet. Internet helped a lot of people in terms of business, services, communication and a lot more. Maybe in the future working at home which is convenient for people will be in demand and only a few people would work in an office. I know there's a lot of bad effects of internet, but let's always look at the bright side.

[Genemind]

how the technology and gadgets are affecting the mind and health of people. is it in more negative way or is it in positive way??

If we will just evaluate, there's a lot of positive and negative impact of internet in our life. The good thing about internet is that, it really helped people's life easier and I think it made life convenient. Just imagine, how can we be updated about news world-wide without internet. How can we transact business easier and more effective without it, and how can we have this kind of opportunities without the internet.

[GoodOne]

This question can't be answered in one positive or negative view.

We got lots of positive sides like research on health products, experiments with vaccines, fast information gathering opportunities, less queues and doing stuff like registrations and similar directly from home, but on the other hand there are lots of other negative stuff too. I won't list whole list but the most terrible things are people read less books, became less active and more lazy. Social life in real life changed to social networks and people on parties spend more time with their screens than simply spending their time with other people in real.
Look at young companies in restaurants, bars and similar places... "Wifi parties" everywhere   

[vibingpositively]

It really matters on how often you use these things and for what purpose. I work from home so for me it is neccessary to be on the internet for a full day. Whereas there may be somebody else who uses the internet

purely for entertainment and does not work or contribute to society. It is not just as simple as good or bad. Since it can be either it is how you consume it that determines the effect it has on you.
