             Currently, there are a huge number of positive changes that made by technology on people in various areas of life, but there are main negative effects of technology that people are not aware of. At first, the over usage of technology leads to health issues. As a result of sitting in front of the screen, people will get strong headache and eye issues such as vision impairment. Also, people gain weight because of lack of exercise and doing nothing while sitting on the computer. Another effect of technology is the social problems in communities. Some people isolate and lock themselves in the jail of the virtual world, so they can not accept any world other than the technological one because they have fallen under the curse of virtual world. People fight on social media and bully on each other; consequently, some of them get depressed, and feel insecure when they talk to people face to face. The most dangerous effect of technology is making a damage in the security some countries. In war, through technology, the enemies will spread the important information about military plans for attacks. In addition, hostile states will spy on each other; thus, they will know about the exclusive weapons and the locations of the militaries as a result of using technology illegally. This illegal use of technology leads to kill many soldiers and civilians. In conclusion, the health issues, social problems, and lack of security in countries system are the negative effects of technology on people; hence, everyone should avoid wrong usage of technology by using it carefully and legally.
