De-merits of Technology
We are well aware about the marvelous innovations , unique gadgets and astounding inventions we are enjoying as a result of technology but on the other hand we are also paying these remarkable inventions in terms of various psychological and physical health effects. As every age group is enjoying the blessings of technology similarly, every age group is paying for it as well.
As it is a wellknown fact that excess of every thing is bad,same goes with the case of technology.Excess use of technology, especially in non productive ways can lead to serious physcological and physical health effects. Physcological effects includesdepression, anxiety and isolation particularly in youth. Although internet, social media and various other technologies are meant to bring people closer to reduce the impact of physical distance but excess use of social media may cause opposite impact as well especially in young adults. According to various researches, young adults with age group 19 to 32 years, who are addicted to social media are more likely to get isolated than those who are not addicted to it. Similar case goes with depression and anxiety along with physical health effects. Excess use of technology may lead to visionary issues, poor sitting postures causing various orthopedic issues.
No doubt it is a universal fact that benefits of technology are much more than the drawbacks if utilized in proper productive ways.
