The Negative Effect of Technology on People / By: Jana Hareesi

       Nowadays, people are using technology with everything in their lives, but they do not consider that it affects negatively on them. To begin with, not all people know that technology decreases their thinking abilities. Most people do not even try to think when they need to know about some information or to remember a specific detail. As a result, people's thinking abilities will decrease because of their dependence on internet. Also, they may lose their information piece by piece due to not refreshing their memories. Second, the lack of communication with others leads to poor social skills. Technology makes people depend on it with communication even with their families. Because of the difference between using technology and talking face-to-face, people get confused when they communicate with their families and their friends. Thus, their social skills will not be great as it was before. Finally, the most significant negative effect is health problems caused by technology. In fact, technology causes some health problems for people such as headache, eye strain (vision problems), and neck and shoulder pains, which means it affects negatively on people. Therefore, some people have already had these problems because they did not consider that technology could affect their health. In conclusion, decreasing thinking ability, affecting social skills, and causing health problems are the major negative effects of technology on people. If all people try to reduce their usage of 

technology, their lives will be much more better.
