Being in front of cell phones, tablets, TV, computers, and other tech
gadgets for a long time per day brings some health problems.
I agree that being in front of technological gadgets for too long can produce some kind of
health problem. Of course technology can affect us if we use it for too long. A LotAlot of
things can affect the human body. And because we are talking about something that has
become vital to human beings, there are big possibilities most of us are using technology too
much, maybe even causing an addiction. Carbonell, Xavier; Chamarro, Ander; Griffiths,
Mark; Oberst, Ursula; Cladellas, Ramon; Talarn, Antoni (2012) “Interest in the possibility
of addiction to videogames, online role-playing games, television and cell phones has given
rise to a new field of study, that of addiction to Information and Communications
Technologies (ICT) or as Griffiths (1995) coined them, ‘technological addictions‘.”
Technological addiction is a very possible outcome of staying too much time looking at a
screen with infinite possibilities. Technological addiction means an excessive need to use
technology gadgets. This may also have more consequences in our health. One of them is
overweight and possible diabetes. This happens when people have developed a technology
addiction for a long period of time, which could lead them to stay inside their home for most
of the day, sometimes not even moving or doing no physical activity.
Shah Alam, Syed; Hazrul Nik Hashim, Nik Mohd.; Ahmad, Maisarah; Che Wel, Che
Aniza; Mohd Nor, Sallehuddin; Asiah Omar, No (2014) “The negative impacts of Internet
addiction includes the impact on interpersonal relationships where the relationship of an
individual is getting further from surrounding.” People that overuse technology spend a
lotalot of time in another reality, where things function differently than in the actual reality.
So when they try to socialize, they tend to do it the way they do through the internet. This can
really affect their personal life.
There are also some side effects that are not permanent such as bothersome in the eyes
after looking too much at a computer. This is called eye strain, and as I said, it's not
permanent, but some other type of technology can cause permanent damage to our retina,
such as a digital alarm clock that is a LED device. Not only our physical health is damaged
by technology abuse. Also a great part of our mental health can be damaged by technology in
so many ways. For example: stress, depression,social anxiety, etc.
In conclusion, abuse of technology and how much time we spend in it, can bring
serious problems to our lives. Arefin, Shamsul; Islam, Rafiqul; Mustafi, Mohitul Ameen
