The Downside of Technology /by: Almaha Shawaier

          Even though many people think that living without technology is unimaginable, it actually has several negative effects. To begin with, the first and the most obvious effect is that people could have physical problems by using technology devices for along time. For example, when people work on computers and sit in the same position for a long period of time, they could get a curved backbone, neck pain, and headache. Second, because of technology, people get mental health issues. In fact, people spend much of their time in front of the tv, computers, or even a smartphone. Screen lights affect their ability to sleep; consequently, they get insomnia. Finally, technology affects people’s lives by replacing real-life with virtual life. People start to rely on technology to communicate. For example, they call each other online instead of meeting up in person. Thus, they get addicted, have misunderstandings problems, and lose their real-life communication skills. To conclude, physical effects, mental health, social life are negatively affected by technology, so people should avoid using it too much.
