Harmful Technology…

Day by day, the world is increasingly changing. With the improving technology and communication, the world has become like a village. This improvement has limited the boundaries. Everyone can reach whatever information they need or want easily. Moreover, computer users around the world exchange information and this allows to reach information with the internet much more easily than before. From this perspective technology or the internet seems to have lots of benefits that ease life so much. However, it has some negative effects on social life. Several of them are that it makes people unsociable, it harms body and it affects children negatively.

Firstly, the internet makes people unsociable. In the past, people met and had long conversations with each other. They were very social and had a very good interaction with the others. However, these conversations began to decrease and people became unsociable after the internet. Normally, relations among people are very important in order for a society to be healthy. Meeting and talking face to face enable a society to be healthy. However, the internet restricts this. Additionally, the internet is a virtual world. Thus, the beauties of the real world are ignored by dealing with the internet most of the time.

Secondly, the internet harms body. It is a fact that the internet is absorbing. When entered once, it is almost impossible to leave it. Throughout a day internet users focus on it. So, this affects many organs negatively. Eyes and bones are only two of these organs. A herbalist named Robert McDowell says that sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time and making repetitive small movements with your fingers and wrists have a negative effect on our structure. Another harm to body is that computers release lots of radiation. When one is absorbed in the internet, this radiation causes a lot of harm to his­-her body. Actually, it is one of the main factors of formation of cancer cells.

Thirdly, it affects children in a negative way. In today’s world, children spend most
of their free time in front of computers, on the internet by playing games. This makes a child isolated from the society and causes waste of time. Instead of this, children may be directed to more beneficial studies. Along with this, raised as isolated ones these children will have bad relations with the others when they get older. This affects a child’s education and social life negatively.

As a conclusion, the internet absolutely eases life only if it is used in a beneficial, appropriate way and also not excessively. Otherwise, it makes people unsociable, it harms body and it affects children negatively.
