Impact of Technology to your health?

[purplesugar]

Technology has its advantages and disadvantages. I think though it is important to remember that technology is a tool that we use. In our modern world, it has been integrated into our daily lives. Technology has brought us a lot of wonderful things. I would like to put emphasis that our unhealthy usage of technology has some social and health implications. Computer vision syndrome for instance which includes a whole range of eye strain and pain. We can do something about these though. We created all these things and so we have power over them. Being mindful of our relationship with technology is always a good place to start. There has been a concern how technology brought social isolation but we also need to realize that technology has also brought a way for people in a different manner. I wrote a paper about this in school. Yes, it is true our relationship with technology has become a lot of times a great barrier to our interpersonal relationships. We do have control over this. For instance, in the evening we can turn off our phone when we go to bed. That is probably one of the best a person can do for his/her health. Moreover, putting down the phone during mealtime and making time for at least 30 minutes every day to spend time with our loved ones without us being on the phone all the time/laptop/computer/tablet. Additionally, always find the time to get up from your chair if you are working in front of the computer all day long. Take a 30 minutes break and walk around. Or once in a while stand up while you are working on the computer.

Yes, it is important to guard your heart and soul from evil imagery and ideas. Another area where technology has a negative impact on health is physically, the eyes from staring at tv/computer/phone screens for hours a day.

I think it is possible for a person to change personality when he/she gets too attached on technology?
I'm a gamer and I prefer violent gore games when playing on my computer, I think that affected that way I speak and treat others in a more aggressive way and IT's really not a nice change.

Affects all not only for health, this vision is first, because we do not sit for 2 hours at the computer per day, the second is necessarily nerves. Especially playing all kinds of horror. Third, look at how many people just go out and calmly shoot at people like in games, that's the effect on the brain. So you have to be careful with this and understand everything, and do not go head over to the virtual.

  It is true. A person can change it's personality through being too attached to technology, it starts with the attitude of the person towards his/her goals, their goals will be ignored because of the use of technology, and this causes addiction. Addiction is what changes the person, it is what influences the peesonality of a person. Like in your example, a person is playing violent gore games, It can affect how they see life, why? because they become addicted to it. And it results in them being also violent, and this is a negative change of personality.

The main bad impact is aches in my backbone=(( I always try to control myself sitting straight but still can't manage to remember doing this

I don't think you've become more aggressive cause of playing games. I've been playing violent games my whole life and I would never harm a fly. Regarding your health, technology can definitely have it's impact on it, sitting too many hours in front of the computer is not good for your health (back especially) and by sitting all day inside you avoid social contact, which means you become less apt to communicate with other people, which can be a contributors as well when you said that "you've changed". In general, try to find a good balance between the two, if possible, go out once in a while and meet some friends to make sure you socialize a bit, don't do it for your friends, do it for yourself. And if possible try to run once a week, it will help you feel better (get that back moving) and running has proved to lower the symptoms and chances of become depressed.. you have nothing to lose, just give it a go

I have read some article that being a gamer have a advantage for example we are more faster when it comes to decision making.

Impact of technology on me is very good, especially when I am sick and I can get well again with some antibiotics and other medicines produced by technology. And not to speak about painkillers!!!:)

There is a huge impact of technology on our health. Technology can both have pros and cons in our daily lives. It can either help us or slow us down. The advantages of technology in our health is that there are equipment's or devices that can monitor our heart rate and blood pressures. There are also lot of useful technologies that we can see in hospitals that help prolong one's life.

Technology can also be a nuisance in our life. One example is when we spend to much time in front of a computer, the radiation is dangerous and that can damage our eyes. Smartphones are very scary to carry in dangerous places because we can be robbed because of what we own.

Yes that's true but still the major part of gaming that affects the players are the gamers that they are playing with. Other players are the ones that controls the characters and the ones that's always with you. Players affect other players for example when another player always curse but the other one doesn't, there is a high possibility that the other player would curse too because he believes that it is necessary or he believes that it is cool.

Technology does affect our health. For example, to much computer and cellphone can lead to poor eyesight. But then again, only if we had too much. Most of us don't really know when to stop, thus resulting to health problems.

Today, technology is growing at an ever increasing rate, so we have an opportunity to improve our health and to live longer, because modern machines help us reduce labor work, we do not have to work hard anymore, which can improve our health.

[crypcoinmonster]

technology not only improves lifestyle or makes things easy but it also connects people of different culture. There is a psychological connection people correlate to when online, which makes others adopt to the characteristics of others.

[etraderhart]

I myself am a gamer, and it is true that there are circumstances during in-game moments when one cannot control his temper, but outside I can easily control myself when with my friends or strangers. I think it's situational. when faced with a problem while using technological devices.

[Pandji02]

Indeed, if we are addicted to technology, especially in the game world will little by little change our personality, without us knowing it. Begin to limit our own time in using technology. Start limiting by way of day limit how many hours we spend to play games, many people who experience sleep disorders, psychological disorders, malnutrition because it does not pay attention to our physical health, a day only 4-6 hours only time we use to play games, the rest socialize with friends, neighborhood, multiply interaction in friendship. All of that can make us much more disciplined of time, write in an agenda of what time we should work and play games.

It can cause psychological issues like distraction, depression, problems with sleeping and can affect to our eye vision.

Of course it does.Just change your surrounding for a few months and you'll see the difference.
Most of the people aren't even aware how things like technology and internet affect them.
Some people wouldn't even be able survive without internet for one week.But this is still all the beginnings.
Just imagine the changes that are to come in 20-30 years.We don't even know how will all this affect us.

I don't know if someone has the same problem, but I really have pain in my thingers and arm, because of the work with computer whole day long... And my desk is really small, so I've started notes problems with eyes(((

Yes I am also! But I was more concerned with the quick dimness of my eyes, I also feel that my body is weak due to lack of exercise. But now I'm starting to help my self to be healthy.

[topse]

i like to stay up till midnight.
of course it's not good for my body but i always do it.
another bad effect also is i get a bit trouble in my eyes.
because too long stay in front of computer or smartphone.
talking about smartphone i like to play it everyehre, sometimes while sleeping and i have known that it may not or we will get bad effect.
listening to music too loud by handset. and that's danger also for our ears.
the specifict that we can see from it bad effect is we are being lazy.
ya, lazy to do other thing.
more ever if we are game lover, gonna stop for a while is like oh no, wait wait and wait, then the time over and always wanna try again and again.
