Harmful Technology / By: Lujain Baabdullah

      Currently, technology became an essential part of people's lives. People use technology on daily basis, but they do not know how technology affects them negatively. The most dangerous effect is that technology harm people's health. For instance, people rely on internet informations without using their minds. Therefore, they will suffer from lazy minds and lose their critical thinking skills. Furthermore, it will cause weakness in their eyes because of the wrong usage of technology. The second negative effect is that technology wastes people precious time. If people want to look for information on their cellphones, they will check their accounts on social media, and they will forget the primary goal of their searching. Also, wasting time on technology until midnight causes sleeping issues and that leads to put less effort into people's jobs. Lastly, people became isolated due to poor social skills. In the past 10 years, children used to play outdoor with their neighbors and cousins, whereas nowadays they prefer playing with technology like computers, smartphones, and video games. As a result, their communication skills will not be developed. In short, wasting precious time, weakening social skills, and harming overall health are the negative results of using technology. If all people try to control their usage of technology, there lives will be much better.
